1. We ransomed him from an awaited visitor
He appeared to existence in amazing view

2. The mountains tremble with his auspices
As the flexible branch of the willow trembled

3. And he adorns the seas with his ornaments
So from us are the cups and from him the seeds

4. The lighthouse of the grieved when it ascends
The lighthouse of the plains when it slopes

5. He came to us from the sea in a boat
Its oars adjoining from gold

6. So we said Solomon if he did not die
And Pharaoh if old age did not burden him

7. And Chosroes and his fire did not expire
And Joseph if he did not grow old

8. And alas they were not crowned with praise
Nor was their throne above the clouds

9. It floated on the water between it
And the mountains and the slopes of the hills

10. So it’s neither fearful nor apparent
Neither a traveler nor a passerby

11. And it’s not still nor moving
Neither far nor near

12. It disappeared halfway through the clouds
And halfway on a mountain unseen

13. Renewing a sign that has passed
And mentioning the birth of the best of Arabs
