1. God has relieved you, O bearer of heavy sorrows,
Of the vicissitudes of nights,

2. And of worries that have become remote,
Neither crossing the mind nor occurring to thought.

3. And He whose forbearance and restraint,
Revealed the flaw in men's minds,

4. We have heard of the pride of the Sassanians
And the Greeks in bygone times,

5. And of mighty kings, when their fame was lost,
They were found in the mass of parables,

6. And with what they begged for glory and wealth
And sought from vain trappings,

7. Are favors, which when the eloquent sought
To describe them, he could find no words,

8. And if we do not attribute them to your glory,
They would be the epitome of perfection.

9. If we were to combine them, the combination would detract from them
And they would be lost in the realm of impossibility.

10. He is like the sun whose distance fills the horizon,
And in its proximity the crescent disappears.

11. Governing has sufficed you, O pillar of the state,
It deflected misfortune and humbled the lofty.

12. What can the army accomplish, while awe of it
Suffices you on the day of battle?

13. You defended it one day at Surabaya
And one day on the flanks of the generations.

14. You never ceased to spread cheerfulness in truth
And to wrap composure around hastiness.

15. You have guided towards paths of restraint
And instituted conditions for the lofty.

16. You were like a sword whose edge
The complainants end up beseeching and shooting arrows.

17. He is the loyal companion, when
Glories clash in battle.

18. Nobility and fine lineage have no
Authority like his over lifetimes.

19. That is for shame and chase, while this
Is for heroes to rally around heroes.

20. Fate has conveyed you in your successful endeavor
To what you seek of hopes.

21. And whenever time girds up its loins,
You remain trailing its hem.
