And the poems are adorned with your eulogy.

Incapacitated due to being too brief, though they try.

And the flowers have become aromatic with your praise.

5. It is as if the world is a bride being adorned,
And your abundant gifts are scattered about her.

Your way is destructive and your resolve is fire.

Are servants, and some of your armies are fate.

Surpasses the meaning of the word in splendor.

In every land has a great victorious army.

In every place there is a yearning soul.

11. O withholder from the generous, your benevolence
Is easier, as if their good deeds are burdens.

12. Perfection denied existence, so when
Your merit appeared to people, denial was rejected.

13. If this creation's origin of existence
Is clay, then your origin is essence and freshness.

14. No doubt, when your origin was good in the heights
And glory, these fruits became good.

15. An offspring with roots nurtured by your armies is superior,
For in him are the symbols of the two excellences.

God has granted all he wishes.

Through your might, it gained lights from him.

18. He came with what discernment necessitated his action,
So opinions competed in his merit.

19. You made him a neighbor in an abode to abode, so they became
Majestic through his magnificence in every heart and home.

20. You made merits of him manifest to the people,
So the minds of the people of earth are baffled by him.

21. You showed him to the people at his peak of perfection,
A merit which produced that contest.

22. He recited your noble qualities to the Most High
With dedication, so he is the leading guide.

23. You paired him with the sun - the act of the wise -
Indeed, suns take moons as husbands.

Endures forever, as if night in it is day.

Egypt and the lands are equal through him.

26. Al-Muqattam almost tilted in elation
Had he not been given dignity from you.

27. Your generosity flooded the land before him,
And this wedding is an additional sea.

28. Your gifts in it spent every precious thing
Until it was certain for the fresh that there are heavy clouds.

29. May God perpetuate his life through your continuance
As long as there is orbit for the eternal celestial sphere,

30. Until your children extend your kingdom like him
And the righteous sons extend it.

31. God, make us your ransom, for were it not for you
Our lives would not be pleasant.
