1. May God bless Amir Abu al-Abbas, the best of kings at Naurouz,
And may He allow his pure sons to enjoy a peaceful and mighty kingdom,

2. He is more deserving of it and more generous in it,
Than Afridun or Firuz.

3. They have in the new moon a fleeting kingdom,
While we have in you an eternal kingdom.

4. So welcome the freshness of time with a prominent, dazzling year,
Whose smiling days obey after long stubbornness,

5. The obedience of love.
And fulfill the right of Naurouz in it with an intoxicating cup

6. Whose drinking is with a goblet and jug,
In which is a colorful engraving by the hand of one

7. Whose faults did not resemble the deficiencies of painters.
The sun of his face rose under the darkness of curly hair

8. The color of blond,
From a meadow in which the youths

9. Fell short of the perfection of the beauty of the old.
Her bounty complains to the clouds,

10. While it remains racing in the plains.
And upon a newcomer of good fortune protected

11. From ill omens and harm, protected.
In Zubaidiyah, famed for its beauty and reservoir of pleasures,

12. And varieties of gems that appear every day
From its hidden treasures,

13. Jasmine that related the chastity of musk,
So smell its perfume with battlements

14. And water from its millstones, and water measured out.
And palm trees whose quality is superior

15. To the chatter of apes and monkeys.
And it has fruits like the eggs of partridges

16. That emerged from their nests.
And the barren she-camels turned away from it, so they were likened

17. To snub-nosed veils with pierced pearls.
How much pleasant time has passed in it

18. Where we spent nights like Laylat al-Qadr.
Before desires departed from us,

19. And journeys ended after July.
May He who is pleased with a kingdom

20. That strengthened religion greatly, be pleased.
For he, by God, is in a place of safety,

21. Under protection from destiny, protected.
May God support his kingdom with honest,

22. Pure counsel from which the times have gleamed brightly.
By a minister whose opinion is supported, who

23. Won the art of administration, the best of gains.
So the treasures of the fathers remain fixed through him

24. Renewed each passing day with treasures.
A pen that rules the land, so it is more decisive

25. Than a sword against enemies, well-honed.
And than an arrow when it snatches life

26. Forcibly, and a twisted fate.
God has ringed Mardawij with a limit

27. Embedded in people's souls.
How many enemies has he destroyed without being

28. Reproached, with the thrust of the spear and without being blamed.
And so he continues against every disobedient transgressor

29. And lowlife rebel, obstinate and defiant.
They planted like locusts the progeny of corruption.

30. May God obliterate that planting.
For he is like honey to sincere allies

31. And like a sword upon enemies, subdued.
He has not been vexed by matters, nor has he

32. Become confused in them like one distraught.
And Ali is likewise, not suspicious

33. In his dealings, nor twisted.
Rather, he calls enemies with an opinion

34. Neither deficient nor distorted.
The cloak of youth is ample upon him

35. While he has wisdom and judicious perception.
How many enemies spend the night because of him

36. On the ground, on an accursed night.
O best of kings in mind and knowledge,

37. Unparalleled, peerless.
You have a servant who prides himself on praising you

38. Whose clothes are the clothes of old.
The mention of genealogies and description

39. Under saddles did not tempt him.
From she-camels faster than others, with prominent humps.

40. The verses flowed to you with praise
Neither uncouth nor stunted.

41. Between saad and daad and seen
Then manifest zay.

42. My nature is radiant, my words are easy,
Not clouded by the darkness of frustration.

43. Abundant is his water, coming obediently,
Neither drawn with difficulty nor rationed.

44. Poetry returns from him when he competes
With a cleft nose, and a decisive separation.

45. Whoever attempts to weave the like of it
Gleaming pieces snatch it away from that embroidery.

46. The educated poet falls short of the expanse of enclosures
With repeated returns and versifying.

47. And so nothing compares between withered grass
Whose number exceeds that of a filled well.

48. I have won against a group of people whom I see
As poets in script and prosody.

49. They distinguish the diction of others in which
Is defeat, like the plunder of bandits.

50. With deliberate rhymes and affected meanings
And contrived speech and frustrated frustration.

51. They slighted him to catch up with him, but came
To a halt, stunted in ability.

52. Deprived is their nature, so they traveled
A path to it, unauthorized.

53. Strange that fate impedes the strong
From the step of the weak old man.

54. How can one whose heart aches from regret
Contain proper recitation and versification?

55. I do not see a contender for them in prose
Or in their seas, having waves.

56. I have no share to gain from what is
In their scales, or in their money pouches.

57. I have no foothold in their land, not a handspan
In their valley, nor defiance.

58. The jewels of diving are covetous of them
While we have the jewels of sincere old men.

59. They have cast the legs of greed into a saddle
That diminished their estimation and arrogance.

60. If we feared evil from them, we would stir among them
Like lions in a jungle.

61. Then they came to a good side
While we came to a baked side.

62. My soul yearns for it, thrown like a
Full-faced shield, sublimely decorated.

63. So my tears of sorrow flow
The flowing of the water skin's pouring.

64. The misfortunes of my luck have choked me
And my afflictions from my twisted luck.

65. My master has seen me standing confused
Like a worried cross-eyed one.

66. So remain, my master, with enduring survival,
Neither troubled nor disturbed.

67. And may happiness in your kingdom remain unabated
And undiminished.

68. Surpassing the prestige of every imam
Who conquered glory, undeterred.

69. You are, by God, in a position of safety,
Under protection from destiny.

70. May God support your kingdom with honest
Pure counsel, from which the times have gleamed brightly.

71. By a minister whose view gains victory, who
Won the art of administration, the best gain.

72. So the treasures of forefathers remain established through him
Renewed each new day with treasures.

73. A pen that rules the lands, so it is more decisive
Than a sharpened sword against enemies.

74. And than an arrow when it snatches away life
Forcibly, and a twisted fate.

75. God has hemmed in Mardawij with a limit
Embedded in the souls of people.

76. How many enemies were destroyed by him with no
Reproach, by the thrust of spears and no blame.

77. And so he continues against every insolent
Transgressor and despicable rebel, stubborn and defiant.

78. They planted like locusts the progeny of corruption,
May God obliterate that planting.

79. For he is like honey to sincere allies
And a sword upon enemies, subdued.

80. He is not vexed by matters, nor confused
In them, like one distraught.

81. And Ali is likewise, not suspicious
In his dealings, nor twisted.

82. Rather, he calls enemies with an opinion
Neither deficient nor distorted.

83. The cloak of youth is ample upon him
While having wisdom and judicious perception.

84. How many enemies spend the night because of him
Prostrate on the ground, on an accursed night.

85. O finest of kings in mind and knowledge
Unequaled, peerless.

86. You have a servant who prides himself on praising you
In radiant poetry, in the garb of old.

87. The mention of ancestry and description
Under saddles did not tempt him.

88. From she-camels faster than others, prominent in their humps.
The verses flowed towards you with praise,

89. Neither coarse nor stunted.
Between saad and daad and seen

90. Then manifest zay.
My nature pours forth, my words are easy,

91. Not clouded by the darkness of frustration.
Abundant is his water, coming obediently,
