1. He who was granted his wish by his Lord
And was spared what pained him, drew near.

2. You, best of creation, are most deserving
To enlarge him, O Saladin, with praise and grace.

3. From the Lord of the heavens, each day
Are favors that cannot be counted, we mention but a few.

4. Though matters grow grave, He will make them pass, and if
Called "O Ahmad", at once they are slight.

5. Success is granted to you,
Wherever you turn, you attain support.

6. Do not fear, for God is your Guardian, and he
For whom God is a Guardian, is secured.

7. You stood for God, to set right those
Who corrupted the earth, an excellent standing.

8. You sold the vain life for effort, and he
Who does not sell vainness, finds loss.
