1. The moon shone in the dark
Dawn came dispelling gloom

2. His face illuminated the dusk
And made the night recoil

3. The herald of morn arrived
My life for the full moon in human form

4. He came in beauty unmatched
His cheek grazes my glance

5. A cheek burnished by bliss
As though it would blush with my blood

6. O you whose beauty shades a inviolate abode
A branch and cheek that if darkened would rule

7. The curled hair guards the temple
And the guardian of the law made from it

8. Will you not learn from your love for me, O Scorpion
From the aided king, the son of Ali

9. The sultan of an era called Guardian of the Saints
Without his hands the world would not have united

10. As if the people were in a starless sky
A king whose meanings are sanctuaries for the world

11. Generosity reaches his highness
He flooded the people with his valley of virtue

12. A raincloud of munificence poured on the world
With no lightning withholding bounty

13. The guardians have become, through him
A refuge for mankind, hosting a king peerless among kings

14. A sea plunged in sciences
A king who guarantees people's livelihoods

15. So his generosity becomes proverbial among men
O you who gave before asked

16. And gifted us before we sought
Never shall your benefaction be forgotten

17. A slave created to love you intensely
Whether standing or traveling, over you perpetually
