1. O lamp of mankind, wing of darkness
And vanquisher of enemies on the day of battle

2. And the one too exalted to be compared to a sun
Or the full moon at its fullest

3. And the one whose generosity and gifts encompass
All people with abundant bestowal

4. And the one hoped for, for religion and world
Purified of every flaw and blemish

5. And whose view, when pens wander
And minds tire, is firmer than an anvil

6. And whose attack, when he charges in battle
Against enemies, is like a hungry wolf's

7. This day, as you take medicine
Is a day of the best days

8. In moderate weather and pleasant
Time, clear as clarified wine

9. At a time when roses blossom in it
With efflorescence of its light and smile

10. So it is free of heat and chill
And empty of gathering clouds

11. If you take medicine on two feet
You would be to the dying their life

12. Live long, safe from time, mature wine
That flows in the vat like a dove
