1. My Lord, grant my father Al-Fadl the dew of health, O best refuge!
And make him prosperous, for he is worthy of prosperity.

2. Magnificent, executing wisdom in his judgments,
And exerting righteous efforts with full determination.

3. God has graced his character,
And nourished him with the bliss of pleasant living.

4. He is of elegance, forbearance and brightness,
His deeds as even as threading pearls.

5. He repays the lute for its right,
When it raves deliriously in response to the lute.

6. Give me a drink for his health’s sake,
For it is a morn of joy and delight!

7. Of diverse hues, like the rubies of Yemen,
Colored by precious gems of Ja’daan.

8. Sorrows descend upon its decrees,
Then you see the judgments of Sa’d ibn Mu’adh.

9. That one is yellow, pure of color,
Freed in the days of Chosroes son of Qubadh.

10. My father Al-Fadl, his oaths are indeed
For fulfilling, not vain binding.

11. The people of elegance sought refuge in a youth,
With pierced armor, and found sanctuary.

12. May God perpetuate the delights through him
In the days of his name, which are dewy.
