1. I swear by the softness of her breasts,
Blossoming on slender waists,

2. And the joy of days of union
After days of distance and rejection.

3. By the clover that grows lush
With rainwater in meadows,

4. And narcissus among roses
Like blushing cheeks.

5. By the fine drizzle falling
Like strands of pearls,

6. And clouds that rose to bring life
To the barren land.

7. By the rumbling thunder that inspires
Fear at the roar of storms,

8. And every tuning of the lute
That sings without musk or aloeswood.

9. She comes veiled by Love
In a cloak of splendor.

10. I have fallen for the King of the World,
Its one and only marvel.

11. Lord of necklaces, generous
With subtlety and tradition.

12. Hopeful suitor, refined and elegant,
Source of pure white deeds.

13. In fierce battle as horrifying
As the death of al-Walid.

14. Of sincere conscience and courteous deeds,
Loyal to all promises.

15. Quick to fulfill vows, slow to threaten.
God, increase his superiority

16. Over the excellent, from your bounty.
Make his glory flow forever

17. From the most fragrant aloeswood.
Vanquish all enemies with wisdom.

18. Family of the unique, the gracious,
Unlike any other family.

19. They established glory long ago
And ruled from lofty thrones.

20. They sacrificed fresh river banks
And settled the hilltops.

21. My Lord Majeed al-Din,
You destroyed the fortress of a stubborn tyrant,

22. And remained hope for the hopeful,
Refuge for the exiled fugitive,

23. In a state blessed with eternal
Nights of immortality.
