1. Stand at the abodes and the verdant expanse
For people range between harbinger and harbinger

2. And birds of joy, their rhyming delights,
Came to you between prolix and concise

3. And leave the clamorous birds be, for they
Have overtaken you between melodious and murmuring

4. And let the traversing winds pass, for they
Quake between parting and retracting

5. From all the waving of stature as though
It yearns to you with its crumbling gaze

6. And the atmosphere joyous with tidings became
For your brother of beautiful and splendid aspect

7. He came with ample reward and safety
And bliss that exceeded Caesar’s bliss

8. It came to Abdullah of bounty he showed
And the noble and luminous face

9. And the florid chastity and the soul that
Was clement with what it owned and is no impostor

10. My patron of bounty and propriety in an age of villainy
Who hosts guests with white and yellow

11. Meets thousands with his face and his motto
My foes slaughtered me if I do not slaughter

12. So he saturates them with abundant benefits
And surrounds them with incense and perfume

13. Thus you see his processions like a gloomy night
And you see his light like pouring clouds

14. And you see him in those gatherings standing
Like the sword, adroit, and the Indian steel

15. So when you drink the sweet from his dictionary
It enriches you definitely without need for lexicons

16. He mastered chivalry from generous men who
Their deeds became like the lucid dawn

17. From a group who built domes of their homes
For visitors, what a group indeed!

18. A house tracing its origin to Qahtan
Descending and chronicled from Himer

19. Of every audacious and valiant lion
That grew in Lahyderah and Qarm Qusur

20. A lineage the clay pots now chant proudly
Of the best ancestry and finest stock

21. O you who cockaded his belt of the constellation Ophiuchus
Until he towered above the horns of Capricorn

22. You became peerless in your time, unique
And the beauty of your grace in the land was never contained

23. And if a bondwoman is sold or bought
None but you as seller and buyer

24. And if a gloomy time befell us
Your condition lit it with a moonlit face

25. I did not count in describing you my master
So accept by your right as I praised you and pardon

26. Upon you, Abdullah, the best regards
Continuously renewed and recurrent
