1. The white hands are immersed in generosity for you
Abundant rain and a wide open valley

2. Every day, you receive constant care from it
My covenant of gratitude for it is firm and binding

3. Its blessings have made for me a garden of Eden
Whose virtues the eloquent poets have described

4. A shaded, civilized retreat and cool shade
And a breeze that heals troubled souls

5. Waters that have shamed the roses, so much
That their gilding seems to them excessive finesse

6. Whenever the doves coo, we say
It is a temple whose prayer niche echoes with calls to prayer

7. Adjacent, a well-built dome flashes
With the radiance of its marble

8. A marble that dispatched its sculptor to it
A chain whose sea of pearls overflows

9. In its midst, a statue whose graceful posture
Charms all who look on it and captivates with its proportion

10. A radiant face, soft cheek, charming smile
Lively eyes, and delicate glances

11. A figure erect as a firmly planted spear
When its notch steadied it in loose ground

12. A smile that were it to express wonder,
Its conformity would be wondrous amusing

13. A glance as if, out of the excess of its charm,
It were with coquetry making an allusion

14. Brilliance of life that, were desires to swerve
From it, there would be no compensation

15. The breezes of its pleasures have made me taste it
With the wishes from its clouds being gently guided

16. It was followed by the hand of the illustrious Abu Amr
And so being immersed in it is no cause for aversion to me

17. A king who defended the sanctuary of religion
To whom its victory was entrusted

18. And took care, from the glory of this world
That its seeking would be merely a slight glancing

19. However much the times turned foul, he acted well
Just as opposites are made clear by opposites

20. O pillar of guidance, whom no hearing
Turns aside from its path or deflects

21. O you who replace the positions of stars, no matter
How low they go, with sublime celestial bodies

22. If I gain the easiest of wishes through it
I will be satisfied with the cream of the bowls from me overflowing

23. Were the orbit of its stars to be blocked, it would be lit
By its moon whose rising its disappearance would compensate for

24. The luck of one who turns from you is misfortune
And the pinnacle of his success is abasement

25. My sincerity, affection, and gratitude are enough
From it musk has perfumed existence and been abundant

26. May your protector live as long as the world lasts
As your deeds last and the enemy becomes broken

27. So the kings' admission that you are their master
Is a constantly reiterated story between them
