Determined is resolve, and fulfillment a mate.

What remains of hopes so they diminish.

With tales spread by talebearers, who have their ways.

Though their secret love remains unseen to you.

And kindness thrives on sincere, open love.

Illuminating darkness and gloom all around.

8. The Caliph's face lit up with joy at the sight of you,
Composed, and he softened toward you in welcome.

Of firm, enduring affection made clear.

10. Doubts spread by the ignorant are many, but seldom
Do doubts remain when truth grows manifest.

For in some matters, doubt itself deceives.

12. Their provocations are a passing cloud
That passes like a wisp of vapor.

The Prince’s sword remains sheathed.

While enemies’ schemes are frustrated and fade.

15. Abbas, you are a fortress shielding
Against hostile raids, impenetrable.

16. When gripped by adversity, resolute will
Subdues the harshest blows until they soften.
