1. O Prince of Excellence, your excellence is a verse
Your heights weave its lofty meaning

2. If splendor is the fabric of art
Its glow fills the vast universe

3. So your feats wherever you walk and strive
Are a flourishing poem that flooded the meadows

4. You speak wherever you pass, elucidating
What eloquence and rhetoric did not know

5. I loved your radiance and followed it with my verse
Proud that I can be its follower

6. I praised you, my rhymes’ capacity exhausted
So they fell short, all inadequate

7. My warbling nightingales disobey me
Habituated there to obey

8. I say to them, though they’ve wearied of palaces
Gently, be still, we cannot

9. People see you as great wherever you are
Generous in your tolerance and calm

10. You are the river, flowing powerful
If they intend, they cannot turn back

11. The glory of your blessings floods the meadows
And saturates their firm bastions
