1. The cure of guidance, O sword of wrath, is that you heal,
And stopping the crushing misfortunes is that you stop.

2. You have surpassed the utmost age of Noah, compensated
A thousand years from the years of his term.

3. The life of the children of this world is your life in peace,
So Islam was not changed from strength into weakness.

4. You made sleep the eyes of people after their wakefulness.
Thus every eyelid since you became ill has not slept.

5. Until God protected you gently for the sake of His creation,
So they did not miss the blessings of the Lord of gentleness.

6. And He secured them against all fears in you,
As they felt safe in your shade from injustice and despotism.

7. Hearts were delighted which confided their secrets in you,
Despite it had not been hidden in the past.

8. Can the favours of a Benefactor be denied
If the course of fate changed, it would have a change?

9. And he of disappointed hope has come back ambitious,
So the grateful fulfilled and the vow-maker has fulfilled.

10. Had there not been fear of death within us,
And had the earth lacked you, it would not have felt safe from sinking.

11. Do you not see the vegetation that the snake brought out?
When the snake turns away, its soil dries.

12. So the firm-willed days did not swerve, their purpose cured
Truth from its diseases after it had cured.

13. Nor did the wind of victory abate, it surely
Storms while kings are with it stormed.

14. Nor its fires cease whenever the floods of destruction raged,
The torrents of havoc float upon them and do not extinguish.

15. Due to your complaints, the atmosphere concealed its clouds from us
For a time, so when you recovered, it showed what it had hidden.

16. God wanted to show us your high status with Him,
And who is worthier of love and closeness than you?

17. Two blessings appeared so you stayed, and though
You were too high to be on our land, you were selfless.

18. The souls of angels would ransom a noble soul
If it isolated itself from them while the rest of them sufficed.

19. The glory of the eminent humbled whoever of them was eminent,
And the high-ranked longed to have precedence.

20. The strongest of them to ward off an affliction that occurred,
And the most generous if a wave of favors gushed forth.

21. And most clement in pardoning and piety
Toward those who pardoned after ability and those who pardoned.

22. Indeed your news and grants have filled
The noses of mankind with honor and their hands with bounty.

23. So O you who quenched us with security, justice and wealth
In the days of your rule which alternate between ease and hardship.

24. O you whose glories cannot be counted in speech,
Can the sea drain the water poured into it in cupped hands?

25. And the inability of efforts to obtain even a little of it
Is like the inability of poems to encompass it in description.

26. If you come back in the later era, following,
Your glory follows but does not keep pace, rather it surpasses.

27. And it is inevitable that fate will turn its face
Back to you until its front has become its back.

28. It saw miracles from you, O mainstay of guidance,
Which it sought in both worlds but did not find.

29. And how many desiring this glory tried to gain its good graces
But when it refused with pride, he turned aside, bent in humility.

30. The borders of the countries made you accessible to firm resolutions
That sheathed swords and softened the hardened heart.

31. And the edges of tongues gave you a position
That the Pleiades desire to last for it as a familiar friend.

32. Sacrosanct, which before you no rider accepted
And more sacred after you forbade getting on behind.

33. Had you wished to quickly overtake the kingdoms,
You would have been readier than fire for the oath.

34. Indeed their masters were unable to make them strong
Whenever you willed them while the victim cannot remove the oppression.

35. Had they been resolute, they would have given you half of what they possessed,
Yet that is beyond half that you take half.

36. You were forebearing, knowing that they are for you against them
While the seeker of the forbidden takes it suddenly.

37. You allowed me affluence, knowing that
What I entrust to pages will remain over days.

38. Gifts which I do not know if I sensed
The aroma of musk or lasting perfume.

39. So thanking for them does not oblige me to bear their weight,
For who do I have of poetry bearing what it concealed lightly?

40. And time has come that joined the distant ones to me
While your justice does not accept and your favor distinguished me.

41. By my life, I have indeed been given less than affluence
And in a tenth of a tenth of what I attained sufficed me.

42. And I have no motive to ask for more declaring,
Except my self-esteem that time split my nose.

43. Some horses are close in the race, while
The lead will not be reached by whoever lags behind.

44. I am the leader guiding you to strange wonders
Whose meanings point to an eloquent core.

45. Distinguish eulogy that will remain straightforward for
The eminent as long as its poet lives and stands firm.

46. Shall I leave this accumulated cloud exposed
To whoever intended its collection while I moan?

47. By your probity, God cured illnesses of wishes,
And from the favors of ungenerous people who were stingy and veiled.

48. So you always were for seekers in every crisis,
Life, and for enemies wherever they went, death.
