1. A king of time whose prey is kings unassailable
In East and West, lofty and low

2. The crown of kingdoms, protected by his defense
Preserving the king amidst the seven realms

3. A slender, sharp sword in the hands of fate
And that sword moves only in the grip of a hero

4. Without him, Baghdad would not stand on its feet
Nor would justice walk steadily in it

5. The vizierate is not fit for every lad
Except one not faint or faltering

6. The vizierate is but a hooded robe
None but you have worn it, enclosed and concealed
