1. None was more inclined to revelry
At the festival than Ibn Yahya

2. For he resembled generosity
With which he enlivened all the living

3. He renewed the covenant of the Prophet
Through the virtue of Ibn Yahya and his pious excellence

4. And the covenant of Chosroes, the life of pleasure
Through the son of Chosroes and the beauty of his pastime

5. So he remained at the festival a feast day
That brought together for him religion and worldly life

6. And it is no novelty or wonder
That meaning should compose the two meanings

7. So may God make him live a thousand years
And he has not seen in living any remainder

8. At times his grandfather ascends through him and attains eminence
And at other times his glory rises high

9. And the eyes of the enemy have not ceased
By God's blessing to be hurt through him

10. By him the arrows of death are warded off
When they afflict him, and he is ransomed
