1. The kingdom grew high with Abul-'Abbas
The highest of kings after decline

2. And happiness spread among all people
With the kingdom of the refined, generous one

3. God was pleased with his guidance so He chose him
So he is pleased with God and fate

4. Whoever knowledge fed, he grazes from it
In beautiful, flourishing gardens

5. Perfection and merits fulfilled in him
Before twenty years of his life passed

6. So he is, with knowledge and devotion to it
Better coming of kings and those passed

7. The caliphate inclined to him willingly
With the concurrence of all and contentment

8. And the hands' choosing, to attain
And the gathering of a loyal, determined resolve

9. Religion was sick before him, so it came to him
Healed with him from diseases

10. And time relished when the kingdom shone
And its darkness clarified with whiteness

11. Passionate with knowledge, passion of a lover
Who shuns whoever he loves with estrangement

12. People get from him plentiful generosity
Of good scent, meadow of ponds

13. They praised, from Muhammad, good kingdom
Fulfilling the right of people and justice

14. Blessings for the patron from him, he gifted him
And disasters upon the enemy, calamities

15. The command takes hold of determined opinion
The difficult yields to it without refusal

16. O Imam, to him the reins of glory gathered
And the knots of purposes dissolved

17. He attained with favors perfect glory
People clung to him with parts

18. And rose above the stars with a house
Lofty, prominent, high

19. You are God's proof, O Qibla of the religion
You cannot be repelled with dismissal

20. The sword has warned whoever disobeyed you
Of impending destruction and perishing

21. And of heavy punishment and sin
That breaks the back, whatever breaking

22. I am not one who wants, with praise, a state
That extends glory from it after withdrawal

23. I have been saturated from the abundance of an Imam
I will never be discontent with it as long as I live

24. Good tidings of his overflowing generosity
Like the lightning, guide of downpours

25. And I preceded people in my praising him
Despite those of hatred

26. And I culled the prime of the glory of poetry
So I subdued its difficult parts with plucking

27. And he fed me with his long lifetime
In my prior days, long, wasting away

28. It came freely without asking, promise
Or reminder to him the demander

29. Pure from the turbidity of expectation
Flowing like pure water over gravel

30. And I was honored by sitting with him
In a conversation he enjoys, shared

31. And I attained purpose and people gave me good tidings
With ample clothing from wealth

32. And I exchanged humiliation for honor
Despair beside him signaled dispersal

33. And worry slept after staying
Avoiding my side, shunning the tossing

34. And the enemy went back on deceiving me
And the eyes of anger turned calm and gentle

35. I see no troubler of my abundance
Even if he frowned upon me with displeasure

36. Nor a critic of time whom I complain to
About its wounds of misfortune

37. The Imam sufficed me from what distracted me
And saved me from the disgrace of collapsing

38. And I gained wealth with my singing protection
From hands to it dripping with wetness

39. I did not incline to misery, nor accepted
Demolition I fall upon in ruins

40. Scarcity cast itself to me sometimes
Like shooting of a lancer

41. After sorrows took my place
And the star of my fortune declined to setting

42. Loss took hold of me so it guided loneliness
From attaining like havoc of hail

43. And time showed me the estrangement of departure
To the bird, forgetting the estrangement of perches

44. And it forced upon me the debt of youth
In it unfairness to it and ugly demanding

45. My wonder at it, how it obligated a sin
That was not about borrowing and loaning

46. An unjust fair, swift, slow
Preceding whose running is without limping

47. So I was darkened with whiteness and took refuge
With it from joining with whiteness that wounds

48. And I wore dignity by force from me
And my complexion blossomed nights of tossing

49. And claws came to me from people
Like the falling of meteors in plains

50. Everyone weak, sleepy when people
Wake for the heights, oh shelterer

51. They left me to what I fear from them
A perishing, lethal instigation

52. God knows what agony I experienced with you
From suffering and discontent

53. The blacks of hatred roared me
That did not disappear in thickets and trees

54. And time separated me from them with sharp teeth
After you, tender youth, biting

55. And it crept eating my flesh and the bone was pleased
With me, with crushing, oh crusher

56. And I lined my eyes with wakefulness and constant caution
Fearing a fleeting, biting serpent

57. From an envious rival to me over you
For the seas of your backbiting, digger

58. One hating me because I parade among you
Praise, despite harm, insisted

59. So God showed me what I hoped for
And I was compensated, best compensation

60. O Imam of guidance, listen to a loyal one
Walking in your praise, oh pavement

61. Sacrificing himself, granting you sincere advice
From a family to you, ardent lovers

62. Every rebel disobeyed with his own folly
So they are rebukers, chastising with babble

63. He distinguishes people in courage and insight
Like the distinction of straight arrow in twitching

64. He is the Qibla of war when war is avoided
And its horses cast in the rugged terrain

65. He supported the kingdom in it with the knowing hands
Healing the sick with determination

66. Giving opinion, traveling the path of resolve
Where afflictions are not like pitfalls

67. The four corners flourished with an Imam
Killer of havoc, repairer of ruins

68. People knew his merits like the intention
Of arrows is known in twitching

69. Whoever saw his love like supererogatory prayers
I see it as an unfounded claim

70. God supported his kingdom with a minister
Independent in opinion, wakeful

71. Knowledgeable about the times, it was pleased with him
Rebellious, unwilling, to the pensioners

72. Doubt did not wander with his certainty
Nor hindered him with objection

73. Firm in the devotion of your patron, gone
And wakeful over your enemy, judging

74. An advisor who did not wade into the swamps of deceit
In past time with the deluded

75. God entrusted your house of money from him
With gathering, not rejection

76. Not what is heedless when sincere advice wears
The garb of an estranged or discontented complaint

77. From people whose pens are the arrows of the king
Yet they are without loyalty

78. Groups for the matter after separation
Menders of greatness after collapse

79. It saw no sycophant for separation except
It shackled his effort without mollification

80. It breathed with ink poison upon him
The breath of the fangs of a hissing snake

81. So remain, O Master of Kings, for him
Every withdrawal of opinion is belittled

82. And the New Year reached ninety years
Lofty, and the enemy is grumbling
