1. Peace adorned with longing, sorrow and charm,
Its breeze blew gently fragrant and serene.

2. It wore beauty and so every hearing reveled,
Nay, every being enchanted and keen.

3. It walks upon the page dark brown,
And recited upon those beauties radiant and sheen.

4. Embroidered with sheets of praise,
Extended upon the garden of eulogy adorned and cleaned.

5. The face of love gains more gentleness from it,
And the visage of every enemy turns blue and lean.

6. It is encircled in gatherings like a sealed chalice,
And paraded over all people, clad and preened.

7. To the master whose sublime clouds I revived,
So the clouds of generosity and bounty dispersed wide and careen.

8. The traits of merit embroidered his traits,
Which was a garment ever ripped and torn I ween.

9. He commanded a lofty abode with brilliance,
Its fence made with favours and a moat in between.

10. He climbed to the peak of all knowledge sprite-like,
And refused to carry superstitions and charms so routine.

11. By him the perilous fate became illuminated,
And by him the lightning of sublimity sparked and gleamed.

12. The age refused but to kiss his palm,
And the full moon of darkness yearned for him it seems.

13. Thus is my master who remains forever guided,
And was created only for righteousness, so esteemed.

14. We learnt his noble manners old and new,
By which the neck of this fate became lashed and hemmed.

15. Inherited from ancestors, son of an ancestor,
And from youth who gained generosity and piety that teamed.

16. By them the abode of peace shone and so became,
Boasting by them over Egypt, Homs and Aleppo undreamed.

17. Peace, peace, its aroma never ceasing,
Upon Ahmed of most gracious deeds pure and supreme!

18. My brother is Mousa of overflowing merit, from his stick were picked
Serpents of poetry from East and West it seems.

19. For him the sea split which pure rose water flowed
And its Pharaoh in ignorance became sunk and streamed.

20. And peace flows like perfume to the master,
Upon the plains of merit and glory soft and creamed.

21. That is Abdullah the slave whom diversified glories,
Among all people in East and West gleamed.

22. Who from the intimate friend is sweet and affectionate,
And who has a heart aflame with parting and estrangement beseemed.

23. Moved by ardent longing as if it saw,
A place to cling unto the train of the breeze it deemed.

24. Until came from you all a herald letter,
Informing of your health and so all became adorned and teemed.

25. Then joy came unto us from every side,
And the announcer of bliss called out loud in the air it seemed.

26. The doves upon the branches of gardens chirped,
Calling unto doves in foliage greened.

27. So I remain in pleasant living and bounty,
Overflowing upon all people, and for you is eternity.

28. And the Merciful granted you every moment,
A peace adorned with longing, sorrow and charm serene.
