1. The prince went away, so his return did not linger
Like the full moon in its orbit, it disappears then reappears

2. His arrival in the west of the country caused turmoil
Its expanse was troubled and ached for him

3. A man accompanied by good fortune wherever he went
And if he stayed, prosperity was under his protection

4. The Most Merciful did not waste the name of Mohammed
In him, and indeed Allah does not waste

5. He inherited his father the Trustworthy one, making him
For himself a root, so he started branching out

6. It was as if He gave him capital for trade
So his wealth through its profits started expanding

7. O you whose trade is the virtues of your soul
You are never content with anything less than glory

8. You are satisfied with easy gains but not
Satisfied with easy supreme success

9. You are not of the people of this time even if you are
In it, for you are not one who follows

10. The lands of knowledge flourished through you after
The winds had almost torn them apart

11. We are in a time when knowledge crawls on a stick
In it, and it can stand up and be knocked down

12. He threw at it the awe of his sword
So it walked crying "Woe to those who hear!"

13. This is the great King, for all creatures
Serve him on earth altogether

14. He is the Almighty, the Commander, the Forbidder whom
He forbids and commands whoever He wills to submit

15. In all the whims of souls there is pretense
Except his whim, in it there is no pretense

16. And for every desire of the desirous there is satiation except
Who desires Him, for he is never sated

17. Far it is for the prince to be blamed, for he does not
Hope for virtue he did not earn

18. Do not think the impossible is just three
For its like squared is the impossible

19. O high flag whose status
Is lofty in every matter but he does not become arrogant

20. If you say this poet exaggerates, even if
The whole world testifies with me, what can you do?
