1. The day of ascension when humankind rejoiced,
A day that broke the jealous people's hearts.

2. A just king rose for religion and this life,
Judging as he desires, as fate decrees.

3. The Lord of the Throne named him Abdülhamid,
And gave him the name of the shining moon.

4. It's right for God to erase troubles through him,
Like the clearing of clouds at dawn's first light.

5. And to make all people equal through him, so no
Sorrows touch the pure in his days.

6. I seek refuge for him in God's book from a king
I said opposed him while enviers grew.

7. And from one who threatens God's trustee in straits,
And from one empowered by his victorious sword.

8. May his realms be adorned with the pious,
So no danger knocks on his doors.

9. All sins are at the doors of his mercy,
Unless they are beyond God's forgiveness.

10. One like us, the Commander of the Faithful,
We rest in his shade and pride ourselves on him.

11. By God, neither sun nor moon that was extolled
In verse, neither nomad nor city dweller,

12. For he is the greatest mercy that was heralded
In scriptures, verses and suras.

13. The generosity of Ibn Zaida, a shade for his people,
And justice like Khusraw has no trace left.

14. His palms, if they touched a rock,
A rock no water ever touched would turn green.
