1. The stallions of antelopes dance in the arena of play
The palms wave their banners, gently swaying

2. And the smile of dawn adorns it with its stars
As the dimples on the lip adorn it with seeds

3. Arise for your days which you rejoice in
For if a day of play passes from you, it will not return

4. For the breeze there are hints of its truths
Understood from the branches of acacia and bramble

5. And the birds above the branches of the tamarisk, crying out
The passionate cry to the gardens for play

6. And for hopes there are sayings, and the sweetest of them
Is that whose support is closest to truth

7. And do not let anything you aspire to prevent you
For long has what was a rose been covered in clouds

8. O sweetness of God, how I wrestle with my heart
To salvation, and it calls me to decay

9. It wanders in every valley of agony and love
With every bend filled with sweet violas

10. It desires even if its consequences are miserable
As the itch is pleasing and soothing to scratch

11. And the day wine is made forbidden to hands, a miracle
When the pure water wears fire

12. And the pearls of the dew rise, resembling
As if for the parting of the clouds it did not melt

13. And the lightning and the high clouds fertilize it
Like the mud around the blades of the noble swords

14. A king who protects the egg of Islam following
The definitive text of its noble verses

15. If He willed, and there is no difference of opinion in this
He would return kinds of milk to the udder

16. He began people with a truthful limit and strove
So his glory dissolved in a splendid lion

17. For musk without fragrance before solidifying is blood
And myrrh without resin is a kind of reed

18. The seven planets, his fingers make them rise
And his resolve makes the seven stars set

19. O son of the obeyed ones, and the heroes humbled
On a day of war with torrents of mud masked

20. From every red the edge of the sword greened
From generosity the face of praise and lineage whitened

21. The horsemen of steeds take refuge in the mud with it
As the stars of night take refuge in the pole

22. They had the intention to call its preacher at the border
To pray the Feast of Breaking Fast in Rajab

23. And assembling the army to deceive
To seek help against the Criterion with the Cross

24. When the vessels of resolve were overturned
They found no equipment better than flight

25. You prepared your army so its battalions
Were drawn to it mixing trotting with galloping

26. If he had delayed a day in his determination
The cups of woe and war would have revolved around him

27. God has a sign—glad tidings whose place was
Sweeter than manna in the innards of the fearful

28. It shook the mantles of all people entirely
As if their dawn with the grape’s daughter dawned

29. So the dawn in its face from its tidings beamed
And lightning in the sky shows a clenched bloody hand

30. And the sea, playful, shows from its wonders
Pride like your victorious banners, gentle

31. O you whose cry for relief reaches its obtainer
And saves the hopeful from the grip of decay
