1. Messengers of culture from Mudar
The face of Iraq has become radiant through you

2. Fate was keen on you
And the eye of destiny protected you

3. You came while the clouds were pouring
Together you came and with the moon

4. The sky sprinkled your path
Does even the rain love you!

5. In the heart is your abode, and between
Our hearing and sight

6. We are the calves and you
Are the gems in every prominence

7. The night of the peninsula would not have been
Were it not for you, filled with magic

8. My masters, all of Iraq
Has prospered through you

9. And those celebrating you, even if
They are honoured and virtuous

10. And all of them are people of the country
And cannot be compared to the rare

11. The best of all groups that received you
Were hidden groups

12. And the best of those who led them
The love of appearing made them conceal themselves

13. Many excellent souls hid
And some forms appeared to you

14. And whoever managed to meet you was removed
And whoever Fate destined came to you

15. The clubs are filled with admirers
Of your virtue, filling the rock

16. As if they never possessed
The right to sit on the beds

17. It is inappropriate that someone who is unsuitable
Would touch the silk of our noble masters

18. So if you want it to be possible
For them to join your company and ties

19. Then place on the side of the road
For them, houses made of hair

20. And they will hear you greeting
The conclusion of the chapters

21. Take Iraq's condition from
The sweetest pens of others

22. And for safeguarding their freedoms
From being trampled and disrespected

23. Your hours will depart to Egypt
To bring you from there news

24. They are exhausted because they
Do not relent to he who commands

25. And strained because they
Have no weakness in their resolves

26. I have an article that suits
Both the critic and the exonerator

27. The fruits fell to the ground
And the trees came walking to you

28. What can I tell you, talk of
A heart burning with embers

29. All issues are bitter
And our silence about them is prudent

30. Does anything escape you, while
The news has spread in all the land

31. You are not of those people
Who are deceived by appearances

32. That we would delude you and claim
We are above mortals

33. Messengers of culture, because of
Your qualities, have far sight

34. Our traits, in any benefit
Or harm to politics, are covered

35. My masters, the skin of a tiger
Has covered us and you alike

36. And equally for us as
For you, things are plotted and deliberated

37. And on the same scale
Pits were dug for you and for us

38. You are a lesson for us, and in what
We are in, there is a lesson for you

39. About anything you ask
Everything is reserved

40. No path was without obstacles
And no passage was safe

41. And ask the expert, for I
Am of those who stumble at one

42. I even worried that
A rock would impede your journey

43. Our chants go wild and stray
And the one who brays succeeds

44. In every circle, a tune
And for each finger, a string

45. And the one displeased by the influential survives and endures
The poisons of the biased creep

46. In our plains like snakes
They bandy about our minds

47. And hearts, a plaything of bats
And we do applaud the orator

48. While we are wary of him
In the name of the country, glorified is he

49. Who dragged the country into danger
My masters: the outpouring of feeling does not end

50. When it erupts
And so that I may relieve you, I will

51. Come to you with something concise
Politics did not remain

52. In the country nor did it pass through
And despite the tribulations in the two rivers

53. And despite that even cows
Have taken leadership among us

54. Whose vigor is one of the greatest
Masses that are energized for life

55. Led by an arousing leader
They walk in the light of culture

56. With the gait of the confident victorious
In them is the courage of Ali

57. And the politics of Omar
And if you command me to converse with you

58. Then conversation is delightful
About a literary awakening

59. That cannot escape from you
Were it not for you, the poets

60. Would have no impact among us
The tomb of the brilliant writer

61. Is spread here and in Egypt
May God reward those who benefit

62. And those who help and spread
I ask you, and I know

63. The expected answer
Would you accept it being said

64. The writer of Egypt has become deprived
Or that "Shawqi" is

65. On the verge of death from seeking his livelihood
Or that "Hafez" has fallen

66. So you respond: to hell!
Never! That would be a sin

67. And crime that cannot be forgiven
"Shawqi" lives in what befits

68. One who contemplates or composes poetry
Amidst flourishing palaces

69. And fragrant flowers
Under the care of the most precious nation

70. And the zeal of the dutiful king
And Ibrahim is protected by the affection

71. Of the prince since childhood
As for here, poetry is something

72. To be stored for witticisms
Equally, whether our excellent

73. Poet was present or absent
The wares and his excellence

74. When needed are bartered
In every corner a writer

75. Has concealed himself in despair
And a talent they envied

76. That did not flourish or thrive
To the meeting, and our concern

77. Is that guests are leaving
May God gather our fate

78. And Egypt's fate as destined
