1. They said the full moon is eclipsed, so I said:
Then the kohl that the moon is jealous of has arrived.

2. For Michael's face is a radiant sun,
And the sun and the moons take cover in its light.

3. The most eloquent among them described it to behold:
With a verse it prides itself on its beauty.

4. I said it's the sun of the time, indeed,
The sea, the rain, the nightingale glorify it.

5. So they released a peerless rain,
A brave, generous chief, numerous are his envious foes.
