1. Your ascendance, kings have believed in your hopes,
And with your just rule, you have paved its ways,

2. With you, Islam has reached its highest glory,
And through you, its principles gained their elevation,

3. For you is the title of caliph whenever
Kings have come and listed their names,

4. And when ambitions have intended to attain glory
Your eras have been too majestic for them to reach its sky,

5. Days are healed through you while nearing their edge
So you remove their quandaries and cure their illnesses,

6. And events whose positions of discourse have been majestic
With the morning of your resolve, you made their evenings clear,

7. Or are you not, O king of guidance, from a family
That has bequeathed the traits of glory to its sons?

8. Their chronicles have been purified whenever
They have dwelled to annihilate the enemies,

9. And it sufficed them that after them the caliphate
Without your eminence, would have deserted its equals,

10. For God, from you is a victorious caliphate
That all creatures invoke to prolong its survival,

11. Or is not your generous caliphate a mercy
That has extended the meadows with its streams?

12. Or is not your supreme caliphate a sign
That guides to the sun of morn its glitter?

13. It lends the rising sun its lights
And provides the living sun its breezes,

14. You have a resolve obeying dew and resisting harm
Loyalty has made its love and refusal its disposition,

15. And you have the noble traits - as plentiful as pebbles -
In number, so who can enumerate it?

16. And you have the glories, below which the sun
Guides and is guided, bringing its lights to the world,

17. And you have the virtues, if its guidance lent
The meteors of night, they would not abandon its loftiness,

18. And you have the regiments, whenever you have gathered
To face an event, they have sufficed to defeat its enemies,

19. And you have the resolves, whenever you have determined them
In war, the swords have harbored their sharpness for it,

20. And you have the conquests, whenever its heroes
Have folded the enemy lands, they have unfurled its banners over you,

21. As if those of Ceuta and the enemy have left
Its homes and deserted its habitations,

22. As if the four parts of Ceuta and its groups
Are chaos, and fleeing has filled its expanses,

23. These are the enemies who the regiments make clear in an expanse
That the hands of fate have written its purification in it,

24. These are the winds of war that have blown
Tumultuously at him, and did not send its comforts to him,

25. They have stopped as the swords have judged that they
Are for pillage, and awaited your verdict upon them,

26. The steeds were saddled when they were prepared
And so they came while having guaranteed their extermination through you,

27. Your stance will be seen in the stance of its jihad
As the horses have displayed their arrogance through it,

28. Where the sharp blades are shining stars
Shed in war, intent on spilling their blood,

29. Many a piercing spear of an attacker meets
The chest of the valiant with its cleaving chest,

30. And the excellent steeds of ridership make
Their noble mares dread their dread,

31. And the vanguards that have launched a raid upon them
Spreading havoc with devastation among their homes,

32. And the destroyer of enemies who has extended
The blades from them and led their lives to ruin,

33. No gleam has appeared in the sky of clamor
Except that its light has illuminated its darkness,

34. No battle has been crowded for the champion
Except that he becomes its reliever from its sorrows,

35. So bolster the judgment of resolves on its land
As a lion, if they visit, they refuse to please it,

36. And the steeds of victory, whenever you dispatch them
They leave the racetracks behind them

37. They have overturned the deserts however they have wished
And made its entrails quake,

38. They ignite the eyes against the enemies whenever
You have revealed the horizon of jihad and its intelligence,

39. They coil their necks and unleash them, and they have
Raised from the provoked venom its banner,

40. And bared blades that relieve the enemies from its sanctuary
When the bow hands have firmed their unsheathing,

41. So it is as if they are the rivers of Dhu Haddan unleashed
And the scabbard streams restrain their water,

42. You see the enemies whenever they have ignited
The fire of war, it has intended its extinguishing,

43. Why does it devastate the champion and still
The resolve of your determination foregoes its kindling?

44. The lifeblood has gushed from the chests of your enemies if
You unleash the watering place of the companion its thirst,

45. And allow it the constructions as if they
Are stars seeking the path to salvation through its escape,

46. Flowing as if the saddled steeds
Have made the voices of the winds their neighing,

47. O how often have its permitted means been praised
When you have made the passage its reward,

48. This is Fez - none attains its kingdom
Except one whom you have appointed its governor,

49. This is Marin - you are the destination of its aim
When it has cast its caliphs as its successors,

50. This is Marin - it has intended you for its aid
When its caliphs have called allies as their supporters,

51. And it has inclined the rein of words about you, thus it
Has continued praising your lofty position and eulogizing you,

52. Indeed, whoever has completely fulfilled your position's right
Its cordiality has been purely devoted to him in loyalty,

53. For that, its victorious supporter has called you - satisfaction
To respond willingly to its call,

54. It has never actualized its hopes through you when it has called
Except it has seen its wish answered through your kindness,

55. And their hearts - nothing has consoled it of sorrow
Except the dew of your hands has healed it,

56. O God, how much have you granted them of gifts
That have made the catch of kings their loyalty?

57. And for how many generous hands have you collared
Their necks after merits have judged their conferral upon them?

58. And for how many shadows of security have they recoiled
Where you have generously extended its plentiful streams?

59. So take joy in the honor of a caliphate whose realms
Have become compliant to the rule of loyalty,

60. And in your blessed, reverent, most satisfied son
Who has attained the heights and undertaken its comprehension,

61. With the appointment as heir that has been firmly established
However the Josephite has desired and agreed to it,

62. In the presence of the King to whose threshold
Feet hasten their pacing and slow their gait,

63. To which the delegations of districts and the proof of capitals have flocked
Casting and receiving through it,

64. With its constructor, making its loftiness lofty, and its buttress
That has reinforced its pillars and directed its perspectives,

65. If an area has intended to emulate it, it would coil
Like the sun if the plains have intended its concealment,

66. The house of peace - if this one gained independence
Al-Mansour would not visit its countryside,

67. And the preparer of Egypt - if it made you a benefactor
Its Nile would not deprive its plains of water,

68. And if the horizon sought your generosity, hoping
The clouds of rain would not abandon its downpour,

69. Is Joseph anything but equal to Joseph in honor
And beauties that guide the stars to quench their thirst?

70. It guides and is guided, its trait that
Has shown its brilliance to the world and its luminosity,

71. The delegations of diverse tribes have not met
His side except he has received them with acceptance,

72. It has not intended anything except the shadows of his bestowal
So he has given it good news the next morning of its return,

73. Would not the delegations expect from it a victorious caliphate
For which existence has been made its sacrifice?

74. For it there is the joy of the arrival of Eid
That has cast the tumult of its travel in its direction,

75. It has arrived while the days of fasting have passed
Bringing near a relation that requires their avoidance,

76. They have loved and been tasked with loving you - if they had
Inclined the path of bliss and renewed its continuance,

77. My Master - if not for your generosity of palm
I would not have been able to excel in my praise or its creation,

78. For it is to you, a description that the meteors of night
Had not appeared except its beauty and radiance had shone,

79. These are the virtues whose hearing
Seduce a people whom its sharp edge had turned,

80. These are the praises - by God, they have spoken
To be accepted in the garden of felicity and its freshness,

81. These are the grand, so great before their purpose
If they have raced, they would not have outstripped its bride,

82. The servant presents before you of it an elite
And your praise improves its excellence,

83. Poetry takes the two abodes as its aim
Notoriety, and it precedes courteously its poets,

84. If not for your bestowal, his tongue would not
Have excelled in its chanting or his mind its composition,

85. For your palm has surpassed the clouds whenever
It rains its life or grants its affection,

86. To you they have come - radiant, of refined sweetness
Having lived and shown you its shyness,

87. So it has screened the wandering of meaning, thus it has
Incapacitated how its admiration has required its eloquence,

88. An Arabic poem I have sent with its expression
Steeds that reply to the neighing with its shout,

89. You have remained a sun, and the kings are like planets
Whose appearance reveals the disappearance of existence through you,

90. And the people are in prosperity, while your honor turns
However the turns of fate have wished from what has eviled it,

91. Calling for your victory whoever fate's judgments
Have decreed - honor and favor - to answer its call,

92. My Master - if not for the generosity of your palm
I would not have found the creation of my praises or its production,

93. For to you, a description the meteors of night have not appeared
Except its beauty and radiance have shone,

94. These are the virtues whose hearing
Seduce a people whom its sharp edge has turned,
