1. You have reached the utmost limit of praise in words and deeds,
So take it easy, O son of nobility.

2. If the envious have appeared to you, how much have you
Appeared in the arena of glories and prayed.

3. You are the most generous handed and the best
For the days - a branch from it and the noblest origin.

4. You are the savior of mankind, a rain for the times
When creation was in dire need and you came to provide relief.

5. The grantor of thousands while they are still nothing,
And hundreds of gallant horses and camels.

6. You have contained both near and distant lands,
And you have ruled times of sadness and ease.

7. When you relieved the children of life
Of worries, some of which you took as a burden.

8. You are victory, O Victory, so if the King calls you
For any matter - you readily fulfill.

9. You are like Al-Samhari brandishing in the battle,
Unsheathing the sword and the brave warriors attacking head on.

10. The ever generous Hatim, the wisest judge, judicious Qais,
Courageous Amr, and just like Kisra in justice.

11. For you is an arrow from our praises,
And the wine cup raised to the most High.

12. Do not talk about nobles, for behind you
Among the people have clearly seen before.

13. What doubt is there about the full moon after
It has shone in the dress of darkness and appeared?

14. And for you are the silver pieces carried by
The black nights that are called arrows.

15. As if destiny's guaranteed provisions are
The white plains that gain more polish with decrease.

16. Every near one gifted by God guides to your doors,
And the ignorant come to you for life and death.

17. A blade sharpened, its edge wrapped
In kingship, just as the turban wraps the head.

18. Thus he is in a state more bitter than death,
And in a state sweeter than life.

19. Honey - its spittle for one enjoying good health, but if
He meets someone hostile, his situation changes.

20. He gives thousands money and status,
And benefits both friend and foe - honor and disgrace!

21. A silent pact - he grants abundant
Wealth and gifts compelling words and phrases.

22. Twins of the sword in war - he does not distinguish
Between words in jest and sincerity.

23. Dawn covers night which makes that
Night brighter than the dawn ever was!

24. What land whose armies you facilitated for the King
With numerous horses and men?

25. He is generous with them - battle line after battle line
Against the enemy - the lines recited and tested.

26. How much dust did it kick up so one can see
Above its height dust and sand!

27. If the matters were pressing, then copious
Rains poured and flooded.

28. It rains refined honey so everything in
Its valleys has become sweet.

29. Its mother is from African and Roman
Lineage - her children satisfy you as relatives and progeny.

30. She is sister of the valiant night - it dotted
Her with stars - horses and men.

31. Her blood is expensive - so if it
Once destroys something, do not despair from the loss!

32. If you lose it, not from destruction,
But separation, its tears flow and lamentation begins.

33. Continually watered yet still parched, without
Doubt straightens what is crooked.

34. It houses bare heads - so if it weaved
Garments cut from it shoes.

35. Oh opener of conquests - how many doors have
You opened while if not for you, an infant would stumble!

36. Most people in building this bridge have
Praised you, while you remain most high.

37. You are not one who seeks through it this
World - for you have judged it so nothing remains to be spent.

38. That which people wish for Paradise
You have attained with your actions before.

39. In fact, it has marveled from what the land
Leads you out of weakness, unable to carry.

40. Its helpless hands failed so you have appeared
From it to your open doors and pathways.

41. Your hands have guaranteed it - you build what you
Planned from it just as your planned the destinations.

42. If you travel between two seas - the highest
To us is nearest while in fate most high.

43. You reached the furthest limit of glory until
If the sky itself was rebuilt, you would not gain more merit.

44. If one's Lord appointed him, one won't fear
In removing him in due time from higher dignitaries.

45. Thus, the stars fail to compare to
My purposeful organising. Thus death meets death.

46. You have united God's creation so I said in order
To combine virtue between two likes - union.

47. You taught me so I excellently spoke
When you guided me so I excellently acted.

48. That my words that attest to their merit
Comprise all perfections and virtues.

49. And meanings - if the mind journeys to one
Day without a guide, it would certainly go astray.

50. Your envious people's complaints suffice me - an act
That has brightened my heart much more than jest.

51. What bitterness is in his heart for me if
He quenches it? Rather, he worsens it overnight!

52. Truth in public and private is no secret for you -
Your serious and playful words are sweet.

53. Without you, I would be the companion
Of feet and possessions that have wasted away in wilderness.

54. You are my home, not Damascus, and my family is
A favor from you that has become family to me.

55. You have been my supporter such that neither the intimate can find
An intimate, nor the companion, a companion.

56. Turning of fate turned away from me, so when
Your being turned to me, it turned toward me.

57. Thus, I have believed praising you is an obligation,
While praising other people after you - optional.

58. Perhaps, a praise for enemies returns
As a stab - a means and an end.

59. So remain - time tests the power of calamities with power,
Then does not reach your perfections with a test.
