1. I see myself made happy through his great deeds, O son of Sa'id
And my gratitude to him is no small thing

2. I will begin my thanks again and repeat it
Based on principles known to the virtuous elite

3. A young man whose actions started me off
With which I forgot my morning loneliness on the feast day

4. The ground, vile as it is, smells sweet because of it
And the already sweet become sweeter still

5. So do not hide my praise with the thanks, for it is
Clear to both the sedentary and the active

6. When my soul feels safe from the threats of fate
Through ibn Sa'id, it has no fear of threats
