1. Upholding the most noble covenant with them
Its nobility and loyalty are too lofty to be scorned

2. And it has reached a status below which
The stars and constellations bow down in worship

3. And in those aspirations I have raised banners
Time walks in their shadow, boastful

4. So I sought knowledge without concealing
The evil of enemies or the lion of bravery

5. Avoiding the steps to arrogance, riding
The mounts of glory and might unbridled

6. For the son who destroyed thousands with his palm
With resolve and purpose, aiding or destructive

7. For the son who led armies to enemies
With his steeds, overpowering them

8. The tribes whose gifts and intermediaries
With justice gave life and destroyed souls

9. Who attained the utmost with ambitions
That brought about feats of which Alexander dreamed

10. Whose buildings and soldiers in their loftiness
And growth surpassed gravel and earth

11. His nation saw kingdoms as possessions
A king whose sword's edge has a minister
