1. Good fortune came bearing gems of praise
To fill your noble presence with joy

2. And endow you specially with happiness through that
Which we have longed to obtain since times past

3. Time lingered with it like a lover's promise
Until you signaled to it, so it obeyed, announcing

4. And it came with virtues you were loved for obtaining
Your loftiness witnessed as the most fragrant mine

5. It filled hearts with joy and tasted good
In our hearing, pleasing our eyes

6. Does any voice cry but lovers drunk with rapture
If not for propriety, saying "give us drink!"

7. Other than the supple walking proudly with their beloved
The water of life, relaxing, bending

8. Other than one enraptured by the adornment of the scene
Chanting verses of scripture like a fortress

9. Other than throngs going and returning
Hopeful, faithful, secured

10. Other than one calling upon the minister, his son
And his family to attain the ends of desire

11. The Greatest, my Master Al-Hilali Mustafa
Who has bound gazes, praise, and eyes

12. With attributes, merits and glories
Lofty deeds that the excellent doer pursues

13. Sense his lofty essence and limit those
Who improvise praise, talking endlessly

14. And comparing him to the full moon or a drop
Or the sea and precious collected pearls

15. The minister's traits surpass that, and my witness for me
Is my Lord showing him plainly, which suffices

16. The waist of the kingdom, the crown's jewel
His lasting treasure, most dear possession

17. The system of his council, the sword of his right hand
His lofty, sublime, protected pride

18. The pearl of a kingdom's necklace congratulates you
The excellent, esteemed knight, the handsomest of the handsome

19. The most fortunate, content, sword of attainment
Most splendid and perfect named and attained

20. In the rising of the auspicious stars that you may see
Their children like stars in brilliance

21. And you overflowed for two days with your register
Freeing all, each attaining wealth

22. Flooding them with generosity before their request
By God, your worth! As if they said "give to us!"

23. And you mended for the couples what destitution had prevented
From wearing the garb of wealth, the cloth of bliss

24. And you united a kinship for the protected sincerely
Who by thanking you proclaimed in the lands

25. The living rejoiced in its plains
And joy flowed with it to the people of eternity

26. May He who granted you fine manners reward you
For He is the Ruler, so be certain of this

27. And to you the deluded ones, if they say
"Who won on the day of joy?" She would say "I!"

28. No harm from the envy of the wretched ones when she came
From the very first servants, solidly built

29. Reciting your old and new pride
Since my thoughts from your eminence were derived

30. My lord lives in bounty and bliss
That the poet never sang or composed

31. By Muhammad, his family, his companions
And those who attained wishes by following their path
