1. My resolve, my determination, and my unsheathed sword
Have guaranteed the fulfillment of my true promise

2. If adversity keeps me seated, my rise
So many soaring and plummeting cycles

3. I have a wing that does not falter
And the past has seen my candlelight

4. Dazzling the meadows to exhaustion
Another may show anger while content

5. Procrastination distracts him from collection
But I carried on, an insistent seeker

6. A firm resolve the meadows’ dwellers rejected
So they continued with unbroken succession

7. Adding ruins upon ruins
The scum must eventually clear

8. While bodies are for intentions
No lions settled in the thickets

9. Where are the brave ones from Mikhāsh’s sons?
The might of arrows and bonded resolves

10. Had misfortune’s strike not caused them to disband
How much conclusion came from uprising

11. And how much spread that once met objection
Lighten up, for I am no lowly being

12. I flirted with the tender, aching eyes
Of a black beauty shining in whiteness

13. Have you not seen Munayqa’s meadows
From it I strung for Abul Fayyādh

14. The owner, the possessor without objection
A sick one recovered without relapse

15. Wandering in his flowing robe
Rattling in his jingling chains

16. Rising high on his prancing steed
Combining garden and pond

17. More generous to him than a bargaining lender
Of steady insight and tolerance

18. Vanquishing the epochs’ afflictions
In its nights when time had passed

19. He tested me, and what a test
So I took the best precautions from him

20. Many a sorrow dyed with its years passing
He poured on it a sharpened sword’s edge

21. And met favor with disfavor
As you brought together the twin shears

22. A concord born of objection
Tell the unjust, his generosity spent

23. “Sit, for one risen against you has come
Needing no pleading for forgiveness”

24. An extra duty beyond the lawful
Made evident by the jeweler’s polishing

25. Casting foes with intention
To remove the door of the biting crisis

26. Casting the feathered and the lances
You’ll find in me a might no riser can match

27. Fearing resolve no dissenter can shake
And if enmity flames with insistence

28. Make them of the class of maladies
No conclusion ever undone

29. Nor expansion and contraction ceased
Amen - in a future like the past
