1. Your servant has ceased in praising you a second time,
For you have no equal in nobility.

2. O best of nobles who have given freedom
To my tongue to speak beautiful words of thanks.

3. It translates the sentiments of a heart rebuilt
With a conscience of pure faith.

4. And you know best, O precious one, what
My innermost thoughts and soul contain.

5. Have they ever contained aught but praise
For your sublime character and fine qualities?

6. Or musing on romantic passions - when my thoughts
Are busy spreading your fame through the universe.

7. I have made praising you an eternal duty,
And have aspired in rhythms and odes.

8. And by the chosen subject my poetry
Has always had the privilege of being recited everywhere.

9. I have applied myself to rhymes expressing
Gratitude for the favors you have bestowed.

10. And in the arena of praising you I have come forth a knight
Girded with sword and spear.

11. And I have followed the path of those who rode high
With zeal and excelled in the field of endeavor.

12. Until when asked, "From which sea have you brought us
These pearls and corals?"

13. I replied, "From the blessed ocean of Muhammed
I have retrieved the necklaces of chieftains.

14. I have brought out every precious hidden
Pearl and brilliant gems."

15. And I am told, "You have revived us beautifully with what
You were granted of wisdom and magic eloquence."

16. Blessed indeed is this master, hero whose armies
Have surpassed all others.

17. They are the lions, and whoever desires battle with them
The eagles of destruction swoop down upon him.

18. It is they whose enemy wakes and sleeps
In the shackles of humiliation.

19. Who succeeds except he who obeys them and comes to them
Seeking refuge and security?

20. O mighty victorious one, how can you but rise
Above all others sublimely?

21. Clemency turns a blind eye to any slave
Deserving of punishment for his crime.

22. And justice raises its flags with you
Above the high hills and plains.

23. You are like the Nile, ever making fertile
Egypt's life by the will of the Compassionate.

24. Glory to you over all lands as to it
In every kingdom over regions.

25. May God under your auspices make it a paradise
For people in this world for all time.

26. And may He grant it prosperity in an age of bliss
As long as a traveler journeys to homelands,

27. Or your descendant Tusun follows your example
In nobility, generosity, and grace,

28. Or caravans travel to you with finery
And congratulations from the Gulf region,

29. Or your servant says of it, recording history,
"The noble one made the streams run sweetest."
