1. O supporter of the faith whose merit encompasses,
And whose fine qualities have showered us,

2. This land smiled when you were present,
Its streams flowed and its rivers ran.

3. In every garden there is a bubbling spring,
In every flower there is one like it.

4. Time envies me for you,
When I try to meet you its preoccupations continue.

5. I have a time when I did not see the master
Who, when we did not visit him, visited us with his gifts.

6. A generous one whom we approached to dispel
A calamity from fate, so its disasters descended upon us.

7. From his generosity there are necklaces on every good person
With which beauty is enhanced over anyone rivaling him.

8. Glory is only what his thought domesticates,
Estrangement only what his fingers drip.

9. And this Nile neighbored the Nile of his qualities,
And aspired to emulate one it cannot match.

10. How can one equal ten fingers
Extending from the great sea gifts overflowing?
