1. And a fabricated tale about the well-organized pearls
Handed over, so handle it better than the deliverer

2. She blamed me, and said why did you delay intentionally?
While you have the tools of the exalted leader

3. A bold, eloquent garden in speech and saying
That the sunset prayer of a Western Mikhtham falls short of

4. You are the one whom every virtuous person in our time
Owing to his virtue, identifies with

5. And people have prevailed who are not noble
And the studious scholar is not like the student

6. My message reached the King Ibn Ayyub, the most
Virtuous of kings, Salah al-Din, it sang and profited

7. So I said to her enough blame and make it short
What you said is enough for me, so know

8. He is the king, so seekers have profited with booty through him
And enviers have incurred loss with him

9. His generosity called me so I answered him
A blessed oath, I have determined the best determination

10. He sheltered me so he sheltered me generously without refusal
Protective and praiseworthy in deed, flawless

11. I say, and hardship has turned its back on me
Where it pitched its tent, Umm Qasha’am

12. If not for the light of Badr al-Din
We would have been left in a pitch black night

13. He straightens bent matters with his opinion
And were it not for his opinion, it would not be upright

14. So his opinions were keys for the border
And locks from every stubborn one submitted to him

15. The kingdom of Salah al-Din, its fuel is his determination
Through which it remains stable, knotted and tied

16. The best governor, not of a family that shirks from nobility
Of the noblest family to which kingship is attributed

17. It attacked the chests of the elevated, called the called
It ripped open the fifth of the speckled highlands

18. Whenever its match approached all disheveled
It threw it slain, to the hands and mouth

19. Congratulations to our world, and good tidings to our religion
Your arrival, Badr al-Din, is the most auspicious arrival

20. You came and you quenched from the passions of the enemies
A slicing sword that was not quenched except by blood

21. Majestic, dignified in his rule, so he does not
Speak except with a smiling face

22. And his manners are sweeter than honey in flavor
And sweeter than the reddened ruby

23. For peace, he has the image of a full moon
But in war, he has the image of a formidable warrior

24. The form of the enemy shaking arms, so his opponent
Is before a lion whose claws are unsheathed

25. If the strings of praise are released in the land
Then they and Badr al-Din are like the hand to mouth

26. Through his conduct, his subjects have come to see
Prayer for him an obligation on every Muslim

27. So be his neighbor, O Lord, do not deliver him
For his neighbor is not safe from adversities
