1. Is it because the suitable mixture became clear
That desire called you and the landmarks misguided you

2. So lower your worries upon yourself to gain some comfort
For none attained the ease of living except the submissive

3. And leave your procrastination of wishes for they are
Deceivers that no resolute person listens to

4. And come closer to cutting off raging passion
For honor is nothing but the banners being brought down

5. If a female news bearer senses something from a tale teller
She says fancy has lent it the wings of blessings

6. We visit a young man who revived virtues after
A time when they were just withered bones

7. Su’ud son of the masters of the world, raised by kings
A kind hearted young man who trembles for the dew

8. And knows that stinginess destroys glory
A young man who in fright gave the sword its right

9. If there was nothing left but swords as protectors
A young man who has never spent a night conversing with a flower

10. Nor did beautiful singing women accompany him
But he is passionate about glory, coveting

11. Matters none other than the brave would dare to face
A young man whose forefathers bequeathed him glory

12. And whose sacrifice and fierce acts are the keys to sublimity
When banners bow to them one day out of dread

13. Are they not the folk whose mention flew
With their generosity, valor and overwhelming might?

14. If asked a favor, their palms were rain clouds
But rain poured from them was silver coins

15. And if they raged, then death was some of their punishment
And the mighty bow to them pleading and begging

16. The rule is yours by inheritance from your father and by acquisition
And do lionesses give birth to anyone but baby lions?

17. Is not your father Faisal the ingenious
Whose sublimity nurtured him while still toddling?

18. By him we wore the days’ new clothing while it exuded
Comfort and warmth, its harshness melting away

19. He has whiffs of resolute determination but also gentleness
By which good fortune comes to the rightful and misery to the opponent

20. Lenient if clemency has a place while for the pompous fool
There is an inseparable, incurable malady

21. Ever forgiving of the sinner when he repents
No matter how major his crimes seem to him

22. And how often for you one day a themed parade enticed
Both Arabs submitted obediently to you as well as foreigners

23. You made the gardens of glory a pilgrimage for people
So they performed hajj but virtues will never cease to attract pilgrims

24. Going back laden with your booty, riches and war captives
You mastered seizing glory from where it resided

25. Even if the pages had suppressed it in the folds of enormous tomes
There are men who sacrifice themselves for the sake of not

26. Having to offer the wealth around their necks, sealed treasures, to you
Oh guide, good fortune has singled out

27. Su’ud and no talismans have been tied to him
When the days smiled upon him auspiciously

28. Preempting and ushering in his fortunes
So no matter what role you groom him for he

29. Is ripe for your contentment, fate taking its sure course
And it suffices that among all the people on God’s vast earth

30. He had no critics
He cloaked himself with the essence of glory and its due destiny

31. Girded him for magnanimous, unwavering ambitions
Glories from Banu Nizar and Yarub converged upon him

32. Houses whose pillars are the protection of kings
How many helmets under a mail coif have they split with a spear

33. And how many chests their sharp swords have pierced where bravery resides
And what is glory if not aspiration and inheritance?

34. These two combined perfectly in him though he was still tottering
And may the most virtuous prayer and peace be upon him

35. By whom Hashim was ennobled amongst all worlds
Muhammad is the guide, intercessor, and his family

36. And companions no lines of poetry properly eulogized
