1. Your status is higher than the status of the sun
So has the rival despaired of reaching it or not?

2. I did not doubt why he desired it
For he did not find the path to it easy

3. You have set out to collect the best qualities
So you gained both the rival and the elevated

4. An ambition carried you which brought you fame
And it carried the times while they were heedless

5. So seek any position you wish, for I see
All are inferior in this glory to you

6. You have ascended it while it rose high
And your dignity refused that an old man be brought near to it

7. And after keenness, not after reluctance
One who lags behind vacates his position from you

8. To them, exertion was added to seeking
So their lagging behind was more evident

9. So do not try to undo resolves when they
Wish to untie your rope and add discord

10. So who can blame misfortunes for sin
When you cannot move the rough ground

11. Are you not the son of the most high whose generosity
The sky of glory poured forth copiously?

12. When hope descended on them they removed
"Perhaps" from their words and "maybe"

13. They gained pride with wealth by giving generously
To its seeker and with dignity by being stingy

14. Hardships were placed in the meadow of sublime qualities
It grazed them loudly and grazed them silently

15. In a land that produced vines and valor
Glory harvested it, not vile people and vulgarity

16. They transcended the time of life so they were not transcended
And they transcended fate by obeying it so it was humiliated

17. They disappeared on immaculate pages that
The ages did not make disappear by reciting them

18. Sublime ones that the times were adorned with but
Were not adorned with qualities like your glory

19. Your ransom is a world in which you left
No frightened one from calamities nor abased one

20. When they sought refuge in your generosity, you poured generosity
And when they sought refuge in your forbearance, you poured justice

21. So O most faithful of kings in protection and forbearance
And most pleasant in scent and praise and origin

22. And most humble when your heart prays
And bravest when the swords clash

23. He who cares for us is a benign master
So honor the master and the one who has mastery

24. Since you arrived in this city, clouds that
Gathered fear have scattered and fallen apart

25. You did not burden yourself with any sin in it
Nor burden your honor with any weight

26. And you ignored any craving
As if you were, in generosity, hearing dispraise

27. You strove and overcame prevention
You made easy and poured abundant generosity

28. In a land that if others than you ruled it
The mighty would not have left the lowly

29. He who adheres to piety in words and deeds
God assumes protection of what he adhered to

30. I saw your decisive sword cutting
When it spilled prohibited blood

31. And your wealth never spilled unlawful blood
And how much rationality and composure you imposed on it

32. Virtues carry every burden from you
So you are found self-sufficient and self-sufficient

33. And if words grew long without propriety
I attained with you the best conclusion of speech

34. Clear explanation and brilliant insight
You overwhelmed with favor and dazzled with superiority

35. Sometimes you frustrate the wisest with words
And sometimes the most generous with deeds

36. Victory was not attained over the caliphs except by you
For they found you the most faithful of people

37. You will never defend reckless acts
That would make the minds of the sublime lose composure

38. You are trusted with the abundance which if
A king took charge of, he would betray

39. And their supporter against adversities which if
Death saw coming, it would retreat

40. And their sword that defeated the enemies
So sheathed every sword since it was drawn

41. It has silenced all who were hostile to you out of fear
That you may forgive those whose enmity it killed

42. Decisions that have often relieved distresses for us
With their resolute progress and decisive killings

43. You have left no wrongdoing in the heart of the religion
Nor any injustice against the excellent truth

44. You have united the cohesion of security among us
So days did not disperse what you united

45. The prince Abu Ali still wears clothes of glory
That have not worn out from constant wearing

46. His good fortune was chaste so it remained
As the ignorant supposed it to be falsely

47. Our supposition produced sincerity and truth
While their supposition produced weakness and miserliness

48. So hearts are watered with the water of success
While other hearts are scorched by fires of misery

49. He did not deviate from what he saw fitting for him
Though discord shook others from it

50. He authorized him, with favor, a title
To elevate his mention to the most majestic name

51. The standard pointing to quality has not risen
Except for the standard pointing to the shady one

52. It is not what the Khansa compared Sakhr to
Likening to him some impossible feat

53. There is no fire in this head but
Its luminous forehead dispels darkness

54. The people of Egypt saw something in him that was greater
So talk of him became their preoccupation

55. They said we never knew the sun to be a bridegroom
I said and we never knew the full moon to be a husband

56. Would that the coming of this security was
A drink of poison to those who detest it

57. Glad tidings have wearied birds so were it not
For their joy in what they guaranteed, they would perish

58. Some whose moisture is fresh and others
Whose sisters fill as soon as they diminish

59. Reports we knew with certainty
So doubt in them disappeared and faded away

60. Sweeter to listeners than singing
And than what is in the bellies of bees

61. They landed on the speakers so they thought
A pigeon that carried news had landed

62. The news of rapprochement became circulated
So it uncovered every darkened and thick place

63. It repelled what was reprehensible and attracted what was delightful
A drink for him from afar and a meadow up close

64. So do not allow a time for his arrival
The auspicious rising star is sufficient guide for him

65. I implore you to keep the stars that wish
To descend where he descended from plotting his affair

66. The palaces vie for him and if he complains
Of the pain of passion, he does not find rest from it

67. A palace of his in Fustat is vacant
And they furnished Damascus for him

68. May you live for him and may he live unmatched
Surpassing Tughlub in might and nobility

69. This happy holiday, you are the most faithful of people
In good deeds, testified by all who pray and give alms

70. And witnessed by all who attend the prayers
I intentionally prolonged this, knowing

71. That listening to your description will never bore
And oh, would that my words expressed my thanks

72. As long as I sensed life, I only perceived the beginning of them
Another besides you, the praiser increases his glory

73. While others are fed up by hearing praise
Aloe wood is heated so it may increase in fragrance

74. And nadd refuses to increase in fragrance when heated
You remain tilting calamities from us

75. Even if the enemy insists and tries to debase
This is the entirety of the English translation of the Arabic poem.
