And happiness shines for the exalted a lamp.

2. Our good fortune appeared with a radiant face,
Shining above the stature of its pillar.

3. The leaves of glory sang, each
Raining drops of joy in its measure.

4. With the cycles of joy there shone with justice,
Each of the people kindled its sparks.

5. Glories are dwellings, and for each
A planet in which its hawk nests.

6. The position of leadership grew in glory
With Rashid the Sublime and the Full Moon of Politics.

7. Yes, my Master whom the loyalists acknowledged
To be uniquely wise and perspicacious.

8. A lord whose nobility brought warmth,
O may God protect with the Sublime his companion!

9. Skilled in affairs, clear in opinion,
In intelligence surpassing despair.

10. No perplexing matter arose
Except with little, it pleased its clerk.

11. And if a complex riddle appeared in confusion
He solved its problems and confusion at once.

12. O what a formidable and excellent minister!
He established justice, raising its scales.

13. I know not if his sword or his lancet
Is keener in formidable affairs.

14. Gentle to the pleading of a helpless supplicant,
Yet he is a lion fearing the claws of leopards.

15. He rose to oversee foreign affairs,
His praise sufficed it papers.

16. Through him the position was exalted,
Raising his head above the rising of stars.

17. O you whose glory overflowed with munificence,
And clothed the age with joy and wisdom!

18. May God extend your good fortune and destiny,
And grant you favor and protection forever.

19. A servant came to bring your gate poetry,
Its description of your beauty gave it value.

20. With a prayer expressing congratulations and praise
That adorned people with harmony its foundation,

21. And congratulated the leadership whose banner
Rashid raised above the heads of leadership.
