1. O king who cannot be defeated
Nor can any goal evade you

2. You did not use to hurl armies in droves
Except that the enemy fled in fear of you

3. Until they said Saudi’s siege
Of it had been prolonged and difficult for him

4. But I knew that with war
Patience brings you admiration

5. And knowing your patience
They saw it better than a quick triumph

6. They saw your care for glory and eminence
And the concerns of the world’s kingdoms

7. Were it not for God’s will in you
Those false suspicions would vanish

8. With one glance you could erase with the sword
What pens have written

9. O Lord do not haste victory
For they have known your excellent patience and tested it

10. The new year has come for that blessed face
With good news that brings joy

11. Rushing to compete as if
Some ridden upon others’ backs

12. And Muharram passed, if you forbid
What you do not like forever

13. Be happy and live prosperously
Until you see eras pass
