1. O long-suffering student
You hope for the fortune of one who surpasses you

2. Without realizing Ahmad bin Suleiman
Loftiness that exhausts men in its ascent

3. We did not intend nobleness except
His land flourished and his sky poured

4. Good deeds and narration, how many implied
The nobleness of the honorable narrator

5. The water of a face when it sparkles gives you
Security from the prophecy of time's water

6. Its light manifests so it clarifies
The darkness of distressing events, its light

7. We found him noble so we lowered ourselves
Where the hopeful's hope does not lie

8. And we shook him into action so he showed
The essence of the resolute, decisive sword in its sheathing

9. By my father you are the successor of time
Its morning and its evening

10. And to you is success in what one suffers
A hopeful whose waiting has been prolonged

11. You began bestowing and the generous one
Whose inquiry precedes request's beginning

12. So walk on, for the sword desires after agitation
Nothing but to be drawn
