1. With your noble arrival, Damascus rejoiced
With a triumphant, delighted soul

2. The enemy almost arrived, but you came with the noblest stature
That no king other than you could attain

3. I have not met anyone like you, O son of Shalhub, a man
Whose resolute courage routs formidable trials

4. You are righteous, with generosity on your right and left
And an ocean of virtues in your possession

5. When I saw your radiant face I said, recording the date
How sublime! For your rank is peerless
