1. O what a wonderful garden is that of Qais the perfect,
With its radiance and integrated shades,

2. In it are fruits, perfumes, meadows and wonders,
Abundant bounties and attained bliss.

3. It brings joy to beholders and happiness,
With it are greetings and all-encompassing delight,

4. Palm trees and trees underneath which rivers flow
From its corners into streams and conduits,

5. As if they were Gardens of Eden for lodging,
What a good descent and what a good lodger!

6. No fault in its pool except that
The incoming resident forgets his loved ones.

7. My tongue falters to describe it
If I were wise I would be silent.

8. Its beauty and joy were bestowed by its Lord,
The King, the Just Imam, the upright Arab.

9. He is the Lofty, Sultan of the drawn sword,
Protector of his subjects, the doer and the potentate.

10. The people of nobility, the sea of brilliance, star of guidance,
Destiny's sword, the cleaving blade, the decisive.

11. A King, when his hands give to a beseecher,
The ignorant and the wise attest to his merit.

12. None who hope in you are disappointed O son of the virtuous,
Except those who complain and blame.

13. May our wellbeing and joy last
With his constant generosity for he is the noble and generous.
