1. He is the full moon in its orbit moving about
He comes to reside in it, felicity and departure alternate

2. If he travels, the heights and glory are his mount
And if he stays, relief and good news are his abode

3. The land where he stays becomes fertile after barrenness
Even rocks in it sprout and bring forth vegetation

4. It is not harmed that clouds came toward it
And ants in it crawl lazily and become listless

5. When the clouds of his generosity rain on a land
Neither is the rain withheld, nor the year made fruitless

6. And a land there envies, when he walks, a land
And his trailing robe touches its plains

7. O Abu Ahmad! May God sanctify the spot
Where horses yearn toward it with you trotting

8. Congratulations to the people of Syria! You are
A mercy from God upon them, coming down from near

9. Tomorrow the horses of justice with Mughira leading
Will raid the sides of injustice, capturing and killing

10. It frightens them away if it takes flight in the horizon
And in its tracks they grieve, running and slipping

11. It does not stop until it makes his place vacant
And washes it while injustice is washed away by justice

12. Clouds disperse and the blind see
And a door to clarity is opened, never to be locked

13. It suffices the open expanses to see your rising
One who contemplates sees your blessings in his abode

14. And an extended shade wherein affection took shelter
When the shades move about, it does not change

15. You answer from afar the scream of their supplication
And you carry from their burdens what they carried

16. You are more protective of them than a father of his son
And kinder to them in nature and easier

17. They live in prosperity through your blessings upon them
To you through it, he who aims does not miss

18. You continued being true to their good assumptions of you
Believing and conveying what is told about you

19. O Abu Ahmad! Congratulations on your son seeing you
The delight of a man's eye, a cub that grows up

20. Branching out from a branch that grew
So blessings upon the two branches, the second and the first

21. And blessings upon his birth from it, and you woke up
With glories upon it while he is a child playing

22. Whoever's origin was Ishmael, was brought up
In an upbringing wherein success is entrusted

23. And by the will of God, under your covenant protection
Angels and the Spirit descend upon it

24. Guarding him from every harm that may touch him
And watching over him while God watches over him from on high

25. And you, O Abu Al-Abbas, are to all people
A stronghold and refuge when they panic

26. You preoccupied the creation away from others
For they have no reliance except upon you

27. And you made them forget fathers and sons
One loved like you makes forget and preoccupies

28. Your love flowed in their souls' channels
No vein left without you pulsing in it

29. And in my innermost being is love, and I claim
It equals all the world's love and matches it
