1. May Allah bless the Prince Abu al-Abbas, the best of kings, on New Year's
And let him see his noble children succeeding with established rule and glorious power

2. He is most deserving of it and of generosity in it
More than Ibrois and more than Fairous

3. They have in the crescent Harmozerous
And we have the eternal in you Harmozerous

4. So embrace the vigor of time with a prominent year
Bursting with full moons and without eclipse

5. Its days laughing and obedient
Obedient to love after long sulking

6. And fulfill the right of New Year in it with a cup
Whose drinking is urging, with cup and goblet

7. In it an inscribed painting by the work of one
Whose faults do not resemble the defects of embroidery

8. The sun of his face rose under dark, curly hair
The color of red myrtle

9. From a meadow where one sees the youth
Old age was unable to attain the perfection of their beauty

10. Its generosity complains to free-flowing rivers
And it continues gushing in springs

11. Upon one approaching good fortune, protected
From misfortune and harm, reserved

12. In Zabaidiya, famed for beauty
And quarters of deliciousness, reserved

13. And types of jewels appear each day
From its hidden treasures, stored

14. Oh Jasmine! Quradha told of pure gold
So seek its perfume with clove-perfumed kerchief

15. The roses smile in it between Nisrin
And gardens - damn their makers!

16. And winds blowing fragrances
Spreading musk with ambergris

17. And in it zealous protectors
Overlooking beauty on carpets

18. And waters - the rivers complain of sorrow
Not torn by occurrences of visiting

19. And we built its impassioned, pure gold
And waters from its preserved springs

20. And palms whose quality is above
Conversing with dates and raisins

21. And in it fruits like the eggs of palms
That emerged from pollinated spadices

22. And the dead fronds separated from them
Are like turbans with opened fabric

23. How many delightful past days in it
We spent its nights like Laylat al-Qadr

24. Before the departure of passions from us
And the packing up of belongings after July

25. May He who is pleased, God, be pleased with the rule
That empowered the religion greatly

26. For with Allah he is in a place of safety
Under a protected plan of destiny

27. May Allah support his rule with sincere counsel
Whose gleam made the times most perceptive

28. With a minister of supported opinion who
Won with fortunate management the best gains

29. So the treasures of the fathers remain fixed through him
Each renewed day in treasures

30. A pen that rules the lands so it is more decisive
Than a sharpened sword against the enemies' necks

31. And than an arrow when it takes life
Snatching and an effective fate, twisted

32. Allah has granted Mardawaj victory with an edge
Amongst humanity twisted in their souls

33. How many enemies he destroyed without being
Held back, with havoc and unrestraint

34. And so he continues with each disobedient
And contumacious tribe, insolent and defiant

35. They roved like locusts, a brood of corruption
Allah has destroyed those miscreations

36. For he is like honey to the sincere loyalist
And like a sword against the enemy, made to bend

37. He has not been vexed by matters nor has
He become confused in them like one lost and wandering

38. And Ali is the same, not suspecting
In his caretaking nor twisted

39. Rather he calls out to enemies through
Advice not belittled nor obscured

40. The garb of youth adorns him
And he has wisdom and perceptive reason

41. How many enemies spend the night because of him
In a sick body on a twisted night!

42. O greatest of kings in mind and knowledge
Unparalleled in precedence, unmatched

43. You have a servant who prides himself on praise
Whose dress is the attire of old robes

44. Mention of lineages and description did not tempt him
Under the saddle cloth, piled up

45. On mounts surpassing others in speed
Their socks apparent, embroidered

46. Verses with praise came to you
Neither imported nor constricted

47. Between saad and daad and seen
Then a clear zay, Damascus-inscribed

48. A nature flowing, speech radiant, facile
Not shrouded by darkness of ambiguity

49. Its water comes obedient
Neither drawn out nor contained

50. Poetry turns away from it when it aspires
With nose held high, as if broken

51. Whoever attempts its quality is snatched away
By shining stars from that embroidery

52. The educated plagiarizer falls short
Of ascending the peaks of repetitive ambiguity

53. And so one cannot compare between withered grass
Whose number is abundant by a filled well

54. I have attained with them an arena I see filled
With poets of script and prosody

55. They distinguish others' words in which
There is defeat like a conqueror's plunder

56. With low verses and contrived meanings
And defective speech, ambiguous

57. They followed him to overtake him but fell
Back, too short of the goal, constricted

58. Deprived of nature, humiliated, they travelled
A path to it, unauthorized

59. Wondrous! And the predator lies in ambush, that one
Of strength, from the step of the feeble elder

60. How can one whose heart aches
With sorrow, twisted, contain proper recitation

61. I do not see one contending with them in a vessel
Or in their seas, unrestrained

62. I have no share accumulated from
What is in their scales or purse

63. Nor in their land a handspan
In valley or plateau for them

64. The jewels of honor attack them
While for us are the durable pieces, determined

65. They planted the legs of greed in a ride
That debased their worth and eminence

66. If composure were an abode
They would not have crossed its corridor

67. When it was permitted without selection for you
I said: you have luck's share with us so take it

68. A group of them won people
And my dependence on you in analysis

69. I do not hope for other than you, my God
In their composition, nor in order

70. And two ministers equipped me with kindness
They made me happy with that preparation

71. When time forgot my fortune
It compensated my want generously

72. You know poetry better than its speaker
So judge in it with wisdom and precedence

73. And so knowledge of vowel marks and letters
In its syntax and glottalization

74. It is only that which includes them, the council
For plagiarism and distinction

75. They are a cocoon to whoever sees truthful speech
Not shocking nor prohibited

76. So compensate me by your knowledge of poetry, O best
Of benefactors and gift-givers

77. With dinars - I do not refer regarding them
To ignorance or books of legends

78. And the loaf of affection with which they bound me
And enrich from that gift, prohibited

79. Thieving hands snatched it from me
They shook it, with their shaking, scattered

80. Predatory beasts beat me to it
Snatching with commotion and uproar

81. It was their prey like the disciples'
The sword of Allah - their crime prohibited

82. If we feared discord from them, we would have stirred
Amongst them like lions in the den

83. Then they came to a good side
While we came to a forbidden side

84. My soul yearns for it discarded
Like a discarded spear, engraved

85. So my tears of sorrow flow
Flowing, abundant, racing

86. My allotted fortune has frowned at me from it
And my afflictions from my twisted fortune

87. My lord has seen me pause in confusion
Like a bewildered marksman, scattered

88. So remain, my lord, with enduring survival
Not disrupted or prohibited

89. And happiness continues in your entire kingdom
Not diminished or banned

90. Surpassing the milestones of every leader
Conqueror of honor, unmatched
