1. Al-Qasim rewards Al-Hasani, beautifying his face,
And making him of those with a sweet scent and prosperity.

2. A young man who does not count perfume as a striking blow,
But he himself is naturally scented.

3. A brother to a bird - God does not dislike the like of it,
But he is of those who are loved and preferred.

4. If we say praise of him, then he
Deserves praise that has not been matched by one who excels.

5. Even if praise is not rewarded, it is a eulogy
For a dead person, even if the dead is not buried in a grave.

6. If the praised one were to wake alive, his own soul
Would choose for him what the choosy would select.

7. Of the best of things, lasting, which he obtains
With one who passes away, when contemplated by the observant.
