1. With joy for one who is for us a leader
The seas draw from his sea,

2. A caliph to be hoped for and feared,
As though he were paradise and hellfire.

3. Both his hands overflow with bounty
As if competing in generosity.

4. So the right hand brings nothing
Unless the left brings the like of it.

5. Thus sovereignty in him and his sons
Lasts as long as night and day endure.
