1. With your virtue raise the eminent edifice
Nothing remains but the seal of benevolence

2. Repay the favor to the son of gratitude is his nature
He who You have appointed spreads it at all times

3. As for my tongue in accounting it is one
And in you it takes the place of a thousand tongues

4. Do not estrange me from you, the relation of those who are
Your nation's caliphs, the Bani Shayban

5. My lineage, by my life, among Rabi'a is a badge of honor
In it I have a heart that loves Yemen

6. Yemen has taken all the glories
Below the people of pride, below Nu'man

7. The God has mixed with the palm of your hand the dew
Two seas meeting in benevolence

8. This overflows with silver and worn out rags
And that overflows with the most precious coral

9. And God has perfected for you all praise
Completing for you all humaneness of man

10. He raised the sky and glorified your pride before
Laying down the earth and scales

11. Since a while back I lost my father, so you made for me
After that a father who attends to my affairs

12. I compose poetry and create its worth
Among people, so what is my mother in steeds

13. However much you debase the pearl, you honor it
So cut off your gifts, for it is my incisors

14. This fortress does not protect me with a pickaxe
I resort to it while you are the fortress of my wishes

15. I have come to bid farewell, and I say: Had I not
Come for your grace, it would have come to me

16. And when I seek you again, another
Is more worthy and farther from the intimacy of the young

17. So strengthen, Abu Al-'Abbas, your palm with elevation
Indeed, elevation is the most honorable of crowns
