Or is it from the hundreds I presented as benefitted?

Like despair from attaining it allures greed.

A soul once deceived is not appeased by deceit.

For its conditions are states whose days pass.

5. Misfortunes come systematically from their events,
As opportunities are radiant amongst them.

6. The wise like me for their time,
Are below the ultimate wishes and passion.

7. Were it not for the children of valor my ambitions would not have shone,
Like the whiteness of nights beneath the coat of mail.

8. They are the kings, kings of the earth beneath whom,
The weaves of narratives with their generosity vie.

9. If anyone were to surpass them it's no wonder,
Like the month amongst its days is the total.

10. When describing their munificence if celebrations occur,
The description takes but some of what it leaves.

11. They frowned at fate, so secrets listened to them,
The water of eloquence in its mysteries gushed forth.

12. Their faces shone and modesty from nobleness,
So whenever a glance was cast it was beautiful if heard.

13. Cypress trees vie in weaving eulogies for it,
Until the beauties of poetry amongst themselves clashed.

14. Abu Al-Waleed fully enumerated their merits,
So the separations from those in him are collected.

15. He is the noble one whom nobleness legislated for,
The flowers of effort so transgression did not allure him.

16. From a dynasty that deluded him in its succession,
That virtues were a legacy through it legislated.

17. Cultured whom his natural disposition purified,
Like a sword complete in its creation the making.

18. Swords when their essence is good during the first imprint,
No imprint then adheres to them.

19. Jadhlans laughs at days due to traits,
Like a meadow laughs at them during watering from sections.

20. Cool and fresh its tastings appealed from its springs,
To a thirsty drinking it the reverberations of echo quenched.

21. Say to the minister whom my ministry hopes for,
If troubled shrinks or hesitates the rising.

22. Ignore the rebuke's whisper underneath which is irritation,
And obligate the self beyond what it can endure.

23. What of the twisting you knitted its knot,
Grief at losing it crept into the heart.

24. For me in allegiance are followers made happy,
That I for them in what we are rewarded am a follower.

25. Am I not worthy of exclusivity from you that adorns me,
Either the beauty of its mark or is it in me pretentious?

26. I have not attained in my state from my efforts through you misery,
But in ancestry soars the state or settles.

27. Do not demean the status of my position after you raised it,
For God does not raise a position that you demean.

28. Your favors advanced to me, my hopes returned it,
To a side that for man is a refuge.

29. My gratitude continues to ripen in its positions,
Like the farm ripens in the traces of irrigation.

30. Gratitude that satisfies, the goodness of its taste,
Amongst its folds the wafts between them split open.

31. The enemy thought when they were absent that they were cut off,
Alas, the sea's flow is not cut off.

32. No problem if the matter was bad in its beginnings,
The caring soul if it was pleased by the return.

33. The previous kin before their disgrace I was,
Like gum resin in their jaws not extractible.

34. I did not notice when hostile enmity was decaying,
Except as I noticed when they were supporters.

35. Nothing provoked them except what I circulated in praise,
In your fragrant musk from its breath artistry.

36. How many grudges against me their hearts harbored,
As the spark harbored the burning ember.

37. If you contemplate my love the concealment of their deceit,
It did not escape the dawn's splitting as it cracked.

38. Those bells were not suited for any scent,
So the easiest thing it obtained with was barrenness.

39. You made your favors from them the evilest of trees,
The tree will not give fruit until the land is fertilized.

40. The turns of fate compensated them for blessings,
It was chaste so no devotion from it discouraged them.

41. Your grandfather continues to fell them with enemies,
If there was contention between people's ancestors.
