1. With your graceful neck, my praise for you flows at all times
Gleaming like a pearl necklace

2. Even if poets did not compose praises for you
The verses of the Quran would have sung your praises

3. Included in the prayer for you is a special prayer
Clear at the call to prayer and during the ritual prayer

4. Are you not the son of the one who conquered the enemies
And warded off the vicissitudes of time with his wisdom

5. And terrified every lofty and conceited person
A terrifying one, the lord of Teylasan

6. Whose father's fame spread among people until
Both near and far were talking about him

7. When the bold ones became insolent before him
They saw him striking and stabbing with his spear

8. In the morning he rides a fierce lion
And at night a biting serpent

9. When he left us, it was as if a sword
Had lost its sharp cutting edge

10. Although the status of people varies
The exalted are only a handful

11. Relieving the fallen, enriching the poor
And fulfilling the wishes of the deprived

12. And security not tainted by any fear
And bounty not marred by obligation

13. And spreading fear amongst rebels and dissidents
And establishing justice amongst compatriots and strangers

14. These are attributes that signify for you
That you are unparalleled in nobility

15. And that glory lies not in what
One person narrates about another

16. We have seen in you what was never seen in them
So we put aside hearsay in the face of evidence

17. They faded when you appeared
Just as sunlight obscures the light of crystals

18. Your conquest of those who once struck fear
Suffices you in boastfulness in this time

19. So no mighty person from the dusty land
Nor a demon from the verdant valley

20. Remains, because since you became bound to it
The impact of the Quran began appearing on earth

21. And even if praise goes beyond your merit
Until even the palm trees vie in praising you

22. Your delightful discourse is more pleasing
To a refined ear than melodies

23. You are the redemption for every person of honor
Whether hopeful or disgraced

24. You have brought life with al-Wahadi and al-Rawwas
With flowing water before cups

25. And with horses and wild game
You have made meadows of praise needless of irrigation

26. Gifts came to me, so I imagined it was Kisra
And days like festivals

27. Neither delayed by procrastination or compelling
Nor preceded by a promise or guarantee

28. And if your munificence has enriched me
Then so have the rhymes I devoted to you

29. Taking me to the lands of Nahrawan
And to the edges of Qayrawan

30. Marvels that have no intercessor
When they befall a wrathful king

31. Wonders apart from you are averse
As old women are averse to youth

32. I have presented to you all prime poetry
And not allowed others to share in it

33. Shall I praise one in whom I doubt
And abandon one who initiated his favors to me

34. And call upon one who is stubborn and unaware
And refrain from answering one who called upon me

35. I do not see holding back my tears
As your bestowal preventing their flow

36. You have been exalted in deeds, and I in words
So one who saw you, and one who read my works

37. Was certain that you are the lord of the pinnacle of glory
And that I am the lord of the pinnacle of meaning

38. So the nights do not cease surrendering to you
And all that the two horizons contain bow to you

39. The vast desert was not obscured by darkness
But rather illuminated by your glory like fires

40. You spend each year after year
Vanquishing it with never fading life
