1. Some lands shone as their women grew bright,
While the rough and smooth terrains narrowed for them.

2. Few became the buildings and cultivation and crops for people,
While the high and lowlands narrowed for their inhabitants.

3. The wells dried up except for a few,
And all people grew hungry and the families dispersed.

4. Some headed west seeking their livelihood,
While some headed east and the groups got disrupted.

5. You see people humbled, pleading submissively,
Due to scarcity, even a baby wouldn't cry for them.

6. I knew some who picked date fruits to eat,
And drank still, tasteless water that wouldn't quench thirst.

7. Some turned to ask people for handouts,
So the disgrace of their shameful request befell them.

8. Some have supper with very little and don't ask,
While some appear asking though they have it all.

9. Some don't cry nor laugh,
Bearing worries that don't cease.

10. Some wished for pigeons due to their poverty,
And what they saw of adversity and dearth that befell them.

11. That was in the year eighty pilgrimage,
And a thousand accumulating with eight they didn't improve.

12. Were it not for you Sultan bin Saif bin Salik,
Weakness for what afflicted us would've befallen us.

13. So you rained upon us from your palms' generosity,
A rain that settles in place of one that wouldn't settle.

14. So I congratulate you for reviving God's land with justice and blessing,
Until ignorance passes and justice spreads.

15. This is old from you not new,
That's how your glorious ancestors were before.

16. They are a people no seeker of their help was disappointed,
For them is a sea of generosity no cloud dirties.

17. And he whose ancestors were generous and honorable,
Thus would the cub be; fierce lions.

18. So live on, my praise of you is true and effective,
While praising others than you is ignorance.

19. I prayed my God to immortalize your reign,
And quench us with a rain that would unite us.

20. So oh my Lord, my Master, we call upon you so quench us,
With lively youth, the death of dearest wishes.

21. And oh Best of those called upon, we called you so answer,
And Most generous of hopes, in you we trusted.

22. Your servants oh Lord of servants, save us
With your grace, oh You from whom grace covered us.

23. We called upon you firmly trusting,
In your generosity, oh You whose words are truth and justice.

24. And oh You who is the Almighty Lord, Majestic His glory,
And in whose hands are creation, command and action.

25. So You are the Wise, Creator, Sustainer of people,
Relieve us for from You are generosity and grace our Lord.

26. You are the Knowing, Able, Giver, whom
Whales in sea and ants praise.

27. You are the Bountiful, Master, Eternal, whom
None can equal His pride or be like.

28. Exalted is God of creation, beyond any description,
Of His might or that a mind can encompass Him.

29. And bless God of creation, Exalted His praise,
Upon Ahmed the Chosen, for whom camels walked.

30. Blessings uncountable in number,
Like drops, twilight, and sand can't be counted.
