1. If the estranged found solace in the intimate
Or the ardent's yearning quenched by the indifferent

2. I'd be abashed by my weakness and tears flowing
And my aching heart pierced by confusion

3. At times I withdraw into seclusion though
Your love distracts me from all else

4. I cast off blame yet find no favor
With the critic or the one who condemns

5. If you remain in a distant land after
Tying my heart with bonds before departing

6. What of days should they allow us to be
Together again even for a short while

7. My arms would struggle to wrap around
Your slender waist through your flowing gown

8. May our protector reign so guidance prospers
And falsehood fails, truth reigns overall

9. He still defends our faith, shields it
With glory and power though enfeebled he be

10. On days of giving we see his kindness pour
From open hands that overflow bountifully

11. When promising good, his cheerful giving
Follows quickly with gifts for the needy

12. Like lightning in the rain, his splendor's flash
Clears away clouds bringing rain or hail

13. Our souls we'd sacrifice, too paltry a price,
For you against time's calamities and trials

14. You perfected judgment and resolve so
To build with wisdom a structure grandiose

15. You rose amongst kings to prosper so fated
In glory, rank and dwellings elated

16. A fearsome sight, your palace appearing
Where doves nestled high, now trembling

17. For piercing winds, your lofty abode is built
Marvels of beauty and grace within it embossed

18. Its glass panels like brilliant lakes gleaming
Along shores of marble waves streaming

19. Tile patterns interlocking in the ceiling
Arranged in sequence, matching and reeling

20. Gilded panels shine bright as the gloom recedes
Lighting darkness, shadows long and far reaching

21. Eyes are dazzled by the resplendent scene
Of soaring ceiling and floors pristine

22. As if brocade were draped over the garden stems
In patterns seamless, refinement supreme

23. Euphrates serenades, water rushing in tides
Like ample rain from congruent clouds gliding

24. The breeze breathes through, trees gently dance
With lush branches and fruits enhance

25. Maidens float gracefully in the eve
Between blossoming trees aligned

26. Goodness gathers where your hall inspires
Welcoming company, joy to find

27. You arrive as roses bloom in time together
Your presence blessed when spring is here

28. With Nayrouz bringing fortune renewed
Another year passes since your palace imbued

29. You lived long in the comforts home provides
A thousand years of your reign now abides

30. Saw Abdullah in his aging stride
Many by his years more would hide

31. A moon they await to fulfill at last
What hopes had craved and dreams forecast

32. Yearning he'd prove his noble traits known
By witnesses' proofs and signs shown

33. His generosity rivals any other
The meritorious surpasses the mediocre

34. A venerable man whom wisdom extols
Dignity radiating like grey hair that folds

35. I've tested his character time and again
Finding virtue from your guidance attained

36. I asked him for help and he offered his hand
Readily providing aid on demand

37. Your noble deeds he recounts with care
Matching your magnanimity, compassion and care

38. You showed me kindness beyond measure
My needs and hopes your favors did treasure

39. Your pledge of loyalty and word I see
Can only mean success soon for me
