1. Today I say the East has become East
The sun of truth has risen from it horizon

2. Indeed Allah makes all justice
And gives every servant what he deserves

3. That crown rejoiced with elation
It would have praised had it gained speech

4. The staff is about to turn green with fertility
To give us fruits as sustenance

5. Time has left behind today those
Who passed from us, and which of people remain?

6. Stars whose some set not until
We see others rising in their mansions

7. The best shepherd wore leadership
Watering his subjects with the water of righteousness

8. Closing the doors to the wastelands
And opening paths to the green pastures

9. We see him the most righteous of Allah's servants at heart
And the best of His creation in manners and ethics

10. If you adorned his forehead with a crown
You would see it more glorious and pure

11. It appeared black so I said a full moon
Its perfection lasted so I found it shining

12. We examined his chest and found it an ocean
When we saw the pearls the similarity was complete

13. In his mighty right hand a scepter
That crushes the arrogance of tyrants to pieces

14. He has an eye on the farthest parts of Syria
And another on the outskirts of Egypt

15. I see Alexandria everyday
Congratulating Damascus after its desolation

16. Its heart purified from all sorrow
And happiness has overflowed within it

17. The carrier of the throne came pridefully
The possessor of authority decisively and confidently

18. Restoring wellbeing and stopping war
Demolishing falsehood and establishing truth

19. His intimacy makes laugh who wept
And his kindness makes happy who suffered

20. A dawn thereby rises in history from him
Saying today the East has become East
