1. They pelted the Jamraat, while in my heart
I would ransom them from the embers of wrath flaming

2. When they came to Arafaat, they blamed us,
Though they made peace, why did they not make peace before?

3. On As-Safa he did not bid them farewell, though
A heart there is wandering and yearning

4. They attained Al-Munaa with life when they attained from me
Until when tied to Zamzam, they clung to Zamzam

5. They proclaimed Talbiyah openly to Allah, so it met
The flowing pearls, the organized pearls

6. And they turned to the Sacred Monument smiling,
Dazzling lightning flashing from it, softly laughing

7. Our faces on our circumambulation outshone
The morning sun, enviously melting away

8. They intended the Ancient House for our murder
Evil is their action, but good is the House they intended

9. When she glanced with eyes whose arrows
Make blood flow down cheeks

10. This is our treatment from them, and we follow their horsemen
Whether they decide rightly, or act treacherously, or blame

11. Is their pilgrimage approved, when not a moment passes
Except one of them kills a Muslim?

12. Between me and the people is Najm al-Din, a scholar
Who has mastered the sciences and taught

13. A sea, but filled with noble traits
A deep well, every other deep well has dried up before him

14. His pens give life to the regions; by them
The claws of disasters are trimmed

15. His resolves are meteors; through them
The devils of enemies are stoned from on high

16. Eulogies refuse to be composed for other than him
Loftily, and succeed when composed for him

17. The adversaries before him are lions, terrified
By his roar in the assembly, dumbfounded

18. Praise gushed forth, but I could not find anyone worthy of it
Other than him, so blame me not for blame

19. None can match him, and if an equal were found
In our time, no equal could be found

20. If he were empowered over the world, he would freely give it
To one who sought his favor, not regretting

21. When he saw the base world and its people
Whose god is their dinar and dirham

22. He abandoned wealth and built for himself the best building
He succeeded in his efforts, so excellent is that which he attained

23. Whoever this was their conduct in their time
Then Allah shall destine for them every good thing

24. Awake to earning praise, abstaining
From worldly desires and cravings

25. The finest manners were elevated through him
The religion is his gown, embellished

26. Firm, when the rash ones lost control
He established with the embrace of one weakened, nay mightier

27. And he tramples the heads of discord by resolve
Beneath his heel are the evils and horrors

28. The garden is not fragrant, its light smiling,
Outshining the morning sun, waving its blossoms

29. One day in clothes finer than yours in the world
Never, not even musk and fragrant herbs

30. I have gifted a sword to one whose utterance
Is pearls, its sheath beautifully adorned

31. If some people are guided by the star, then by
The star of religion, the stars themselves are guided

32. Baghdad envies Damascus for him, and its darkness
Submits to its disobedient one and serves

33. He is the son of a scholar, no Muslim would
Deny his superiority and loftiness in Islam

34. Everyone is preceded by his status
And through him all who progress make progress

35. You are the star of religion, a joyful auspiciousness
In which there is Abu Sa’d, and in which he is eulogized

36. O you who resemble your father in resolve and one
Who resembles his father is never unjust

37. You have a resolute, lofty, valiant spirit
So the meteors are meteors beneath which fierce sparks fly

38. Through you the Shafi’i can boast, and by you
His lights are renowned and cannot be concealed

39. To Abu Al-Barakaat we drive our steeds
Hoping for his abundant attainment, galloping

40. He continues forever enlivening the apathetic
And benefiting those ignorant of the knowledge of good
