1. The virtues of Khayr al-Din, pillar of generosity
Transcend enumeration in the verse of any poet

2. And his views in warding off every blemish
From religion and worldly life like the blow of swords

3. And his vigilance in ruling justly is guided
By it every commander to redress injustices

4. And his brilliant rising star that glitters as though
In Tunis a sun in the sky of tribunals

5. And his mastery in every art that he practiced
With precedence and superiority over every sage
