1. With the majesty of Your decree, time takes pride,
And the most prideful of it is Ramadan.

2. If it could speak, it would say "Make me glad with it,
But a mouth and tongue fail it."

3. If not for Your swords, neither fasting nor devotion nor Quran would settle for us.
Your blessings have encompassed it, so it is devoid of none of them -

4. Neither a month, nor a human.
It did not arrive until Your bounty arrived above it,

5. So it has a lofty rank because of that.
O King, by whom times and minds and bodies live,

6. You are the Bountiful - though bounty does not know You,
A bounty too majestic for evidence. Does the proof of

7. The midday sun need to be sought?
Your attributes were made great in hearing for the absent,

8. But seeing made hearing worthless for those present.
You manifested a beauty in the beautiful craftsmanship,

9. So beauty and benevolence were rendered deficient through it.
Your gifts encompassed all people, as though

10. Every living being is provided for by the palm of Your generosity.
You commanded, so kings obeyed as if they were

11. The capable limbs, and You the resolute soul.
You forbade, so time was wary in awe,

12. As though You were raging seas, and it, gardens.
You intended, so the celestial sphere was as if

13. It followed You, or as if its reins were in Your hands.
You outsped it, so You surpassed it,

14. And all existence became a wager for You.
A resolve, most perfect in scope and longest in duration

15. In every expansive abode the present moment contains.
Your rule pleased the lands and their people,

16. As though it was a mother, and they, brethren.
You concealed the vastness of enmity - their graves

17. Became their homelands, and their shrouds, their garments.
And fear migrated, while Your sword gives drink,

18. Each of them solitary, and all of them thirsty.
O refuge of the generous, Your palm sufficed, it filled

19. The sea of bliss, so betrayals became insignificant.
Behold, the palm of the King of Kings overflows with dew

20. Generously, and I reckon it to be the flood.
Do not hoard for tomorrow, for its bestowal

21. Will forever accompany every precious gift.
Your continuous generosity, throughout time, upon mankind

22. Is flying. No place has been specified for them.
So it is as though, in every land, they are its thankfulness,

23. And for every language, its addict.
Breaths repeat, while it remains before them

24. Forever - its range is a field for it.
Farfetched! No praiser adorns Your attribute,

25. Rather, his praises are made graceful through it.
From You we derive what we say, yet

26. Your attributes only increase in weight.
You have, in the hidden sublimities, an alert conscience

27. No matter how heavy eyelids become with sleep.
And an intuition, sound in judgment,

28. That will suffice when endowed to Luqman.
Sword and pen have pride whenever

29. Your palm and fingers touch them.
Death and hopes set out from them -

30. One, a breath; the other, teeth.
O You who is too transcendent to be compared to ones passed,

31. Where are the non-Arabs to You? And the Arabians?
Who is more clear-sighted than Hatem? More eloquent than Antar?

32. Stronger than Qays? More defiant than Sahban?
Than Aristotle? Than Alexander? Than Caesar?

33. Or Anushirwan?
Farfetched! A portion of Your perfection falls short

34. Of encompassing it - either human or jinn.
O oasis of bounty, in whose shade

35. Mankind have safety from the tyranny of time.
Your origin in generosity is well-rooted and implanted,

36. And peaks of splendor have flourished for You on high.
The clouds of every virtue watered Your goodness,

37. And the meadow of Your bestowal rose above it, quenched.
Hopes and wishes became, because of You,

38. Mere play and jest, and left You in loftiness.
Hopes compete in You, so no delight came

39. That did not bring joy, nor left, bringing sorrow.
Like the joy of the fasting month when it meets You,

40. And sorrow that bids farewell with Sha'ban.
So You remained, for however long time continues, felicitated -

41. Through Your hands, safety and faith grow stronger.
