1. Now my hopes are fulfilled, days of yearning past
With acceptance my deeds are adorned at last

2. Fate greeted me kindly and blessed me with ease
Granting continuity to my fortune's increase

3. When the loyal vizier's time of knowing came
With the noble Sa'id, of lofty acclaim

4. Oh what a return, with triumph from travel
To Egypt where glory and honor unravel

5. How not, when he's valiant, his radiance pure
Dispelling darkness, misguidance, unsure

6. Sustenance he for souls, through him known
Ways of guidance, graced with favor fully shown

7. Worthy he of high station, exceeding in grace
His father heroic, and uncle of place

8. Renowned for bold deeds, to him lions concede
Of beasts ferocious, all made to recede

9. Ever destined for triumph the king's horoscope
Constant in motions, and traveling's scope

10. Not since the leaves sang, chronicling the best
Of returns, good fortune's welcome bequest
