1. God has granted you a neighbor
Who withstands adversities and their times

2. The enemies resent that you are a faction
Whose balance has proven correct

3. You and your sons have become a fountain
The sanctuary of mankind beneath its branches

4. Thus propriety was sustained through its manners
And perfection through its branches

5. Time will not pass until Suleiman
Is seen like his namesake

6. I say to one inquiring of you
My invocation depends on its proof

7. Those are the substance of our nation
Anciently and the adornment of its decoration

8. For they are its swords in tribulation
And its crowns in prosperity

9. I have not fully represented them
Straying for myself and forgetting them

10. They are not like an eye and its sight
Nor the worth of an eye and its vision

11. I elevate the status of their similes
With what God has raised of their distinction

12. They are the spirits for the King
While people are like their bodies

13. Thus the caliphate enumerates them
The hand of time the pillars of its building

14. And with four of them present
God has refused the pillars of its edifice

15. But it has from them a number
Like the rain of the sky and its inhabitants

16. Their pens with our rulers
Are the tongues of the spears of its horsemen

17. Their ministries yearned toward you
So they yearned toward the best of homelands

18. Were they commissioned to guard our masters
They would guard them like their eyelids
