1. Grant respite to the yearning lover some of his rest
Or make him share the intimacy of his dreams

2. You kept him up until when he evaded people
You abandoned him and slept instead of making him happy

3. And your heart hardened to soften to the agony
That raged in the core of his heart

4. You made him mighty so he yielded willingly to passion
And avoided him so you saw the disgrace of his leadership

5. Who does justice to me from an unjust possessor
Whose love I own yet I do not own the loyalty of his companionship

6. If I know nothing but his former love
Then I was afflicted, after his aloofness, with his remoteness

7. I told the rumbling clouds to pour down
In their flashing and insist on their thunder

8. Do not behave, resembling the dew of his hands
You are not of his peers

9. God honored him and elevated his mention
And saw him as a rain for His servants and country

10. A king who emulated the caliphs among his forefathers
And humbled the nobles among his ancestors

11. If the gratitude of the distant ones is little, then he
Is bestower of the greatness of its borders and lands

12. He increasingly remains over his enemies
Forever, and is generous to his enviers

13. He ordered generosity so it overflowed from his bounties
And forbade miserliness so it diminished in its burrows

14. O you who maintain Islam in its negligence
And establish the path of his pilgrimage and jihad

15. Congratulations to the honored, good tidings that clarified
Through us the merit of his guidance and integrity

16. Maturity has been attained that he demonstrated to us
Of his patience, dignity, and rectitude

17. And blessed is the birth of your kingdom foretelling
Of an era near to his birth

18. Perfect bounties have been completed for you in it enjoying
The loftiness of his determination and abundance of his armory

19. And you remained until you are illuminated by his opinion
And see old age in his children
