1. Her passion stirred a yearning to complain of separation
A gleaming blade guiding riders through the darkness

2. The fluttering wings shone as if
In the morning escorting the passing clouds disturbingly

3. It illuminated when darkness concealed its path
So it hastened to the incline, from one spent the night huddled

4. The sentinels said when it overtook them at night
“Did the dawn not deign to shine?”

5. Oh my friend, go down to meet it with a pact
And pass by it on your mount, swerving

6. By my pact with it, the living one in its meadows
Is greeted by what yields fruits and vegetation

7. How excellent is its fine appearance when the beloved camps in its dales
What splendid beauty and joyousness

8. As if the dripping from its lofty stalks
Echoing words from an articulating tongue

9. My friend, do not conceal your youth when
The morning breeze of your love stirs passion

10. We have not curbed the flight of promises
So it raced in the field of rivals recklessly

11. We did not know about her bending branches
That the horizons' suns set raggedly

12. She is the sun whose brilliance is unmatched
The moon and stars her jewelry and necklaces

13. Whoever does not see her face and figure
The moon is not serene, nor is the branch quivering

14. Whoever desired the beauty without her quarter
The stature is not easeful, nor is the glance languorous

15. Whoever aspires to the sea of generosity and knowledge
None ascends higher than Ibn Nasr

16. He is the Josephine victorious king whom
His resolutions are feared and his mercy hoped for

17. He is the knowledgeable Josephine scholar whom
His policies are rays of light in the darkness

18. Oh count not the praise of subordinate kings
For he surpasses crowned Kisra mightily

19. This is a follower whose grandfather
Became master of the Helpers; Aus and Khazraj

20. This is he whom security for people
Remains a shade for emigrants dispersed

21. This is he who always travels the path to God
A route to mighty victory and guidance

22. His qualities narrate gentle qualities
And his praise is the blossoms of gardens, vegetation

23. We hoped through him to gain honours and sublimity
When we saw his face, hopes were fulfilled

24. With a resolve that suffices to subdue enemies and curb them
And from a generous palm that does not disappoint hope

25. If the sea of horrors rages, its tumult
His ships narrate the ships heavily laden

26. The neighing of the steeds has made its surroundings
Tranquil mountains and heights calm

27. You would think war made it a meadow
With soft canes and doves murmuring

28. My lord, God still inspires
The finest work, bringing victory inflamed

29. The enemies deviate from facing you whenever
You straighten it as a lance and raise it bent

30. Your dark sword flashes brightly
A flame of guidance in the night of clamour

31. Your palm that spares the innocent forms a cloud
While your sword kindles a fierce blaze

32. Thus is the flowing of the clouds when
The lightning shows you its flaming bursts

33. As if the stirring of sparks is night and its dawn
Your blade appears blood-stained and simmering

34. As if the battlefields are a script
In which your dark one writes a resolute line

35. But it illustrates the meaning of your good fortune
Like the stars' radiance, the flowers, and the night has withdrawn

36. Yours is the resolve - if you execute its rules
The enemies' sucides at daybreak are cleft

37. Yours is the knowledge that guides all who lost their guidance
And were perplexed from the straight path, swerving

38. A feast day has returned that once rose
Greeted you, dawning of dynasties, gleaming

39. By God, a day that showed us in reality
From the sublime rising, a morning that sparkled

40. You extended your palm for people to kiss
Surpassing ripples of the tumultuous sea

41. After kissing your palm in hope
Will I need anything in life?

42. You repelled the strokes of fate until you intended
And the door of purpose was beyond me, closed

43. Before you, O Master of creation, my praises
Are like garden blossoms, vegetation

44. I came with them like flowers, and flowers in the meadow
Delighted and rustled joyfully

45. Ashamed of falling short, they veiled themselves
Though they are a beauty exhibiting coquetry

46. Congratulations on a generous feast and occasion
With beautiful greetings and fair beauty, delighting

47. You were conveyed what you hope for, beginning and return
Remaining in realms the most noble aspiration
