1. O Abul Abbaas, you have excelled over people
In manners, morals and distinction

2. If you were made of anything other than human
You would have been of solid gold

3. And nothing raised you except your noble soul
Yes, you became greater due to your dignity

4. So you are rain when it pours, and a lion
When it attacks, and a sharp sword

5. As for the field of poetry, you master it
Naturally, with distinction

6. With solid structure, and creativity
Of meaning - nothing convoluted

7. If you use metaphor, you don't dislike the words
If you match them, you embroider an embroidery

8. None who covet it reach your level
All fall short and fail

9. As for those who reject your superiority unjustly
We allow that, such allowance
