1. With God's revelation, glory boasts,
And through you, praise, gratitude and laudation are justified.

2. Poetry extolling you has no limits,
But it is enough what effort can attain.

3. If God sent down the Book praising you,
What more can a poet thereafter bring?

4. Longing for you, Commander of the Faithful,
With meanings and words strung like a necklace.

5. So they came like a breeze blowing over the dew of gardens,
Greeted by lilies and roses.

6. Their sweetness was fragrant with perfume as if
Vying in its words with musk and honey.

7. The deaf heard it from every mute,
And the blind saw it in the darkness of eternity.

8. And the mention of you ennobled it, so it took pride,
Had it not been for the sword, the sheath would not have been adorned.

9. The meaning of God's Book ennobled its script,
So its ink, parchment and leather were kissed.

10. You were given the caliphate that made your enemies age
While its days turned young again.

11. If its best is delayed, that is just the beginning,
And after the flint stone collision, the spark catches flame.

12. People are but like the darkness, and their daybreak
Their leaders, and the sun is the last to appear.

13. When the Victorious Commander is for a nation,
It has no absence or loss.

14. Whoever lives, his closeness gives him life,
And whoever dies loving him, paradise is his dwelling.

15. An imam has appeared to all creation with a brilliance on his forehead,
By which their obscured visions are healed.

16. He is the ultimate purpose, he is the goal by which
Success and fortune are sound for the steadfast.

17. He is the greatest authority, he is the goal which
The insightful reaches through him the solutions and necklaces.

18. The secrets of hearts obeyed him as a religion,
So no man who did not believe in loving him has sanity.

19. O son of God’s Messenger, this is your time,
You were promised it and now the promise will be fulfilled.

20. You will take vengeance for Islam which
Through it the damned covenant against it grew old.

21. As your swords did in the day of Badr
And plunged into polytheism without hesitation.

22. You have resolute decisions, so when they set out
To an objective, neither white nor black prevents them.

23. And if your red flags fear,
The angels glorify your victory, the supreme among them soldiers.

24. Brown sword blades, white swords,
Polished Dhu Al-Faqar and sharpened Lu'lu.

25. And a people whose death place is their glory,
When your satisfaction requires it, and to them good living is asceticism.

26. So Damascus smelled from you a lightning that will encompass
The kingdom of Constantine by its torrents.

27. It shook whatever the Franks possessed mightily
So its foundations quaked and sighed.

28. And God has a secret in you which its appearance is due,
So the skeptic may be certain and the apostate may return.

29. You covered all creation with justice so aggression ended
Against beasts and birds and tearing lions.

30. And if an audience with you in your carpet was fortunate for them
Every species would have sent a delegation of loyalty.

31. And you purified the actions of time and its people
So there is no error in what harms nor intention.

32. Indeed, traces of your determination terrified Sindh
As a warner to whom the crowds and multitudes deluded.

33. And when its devil transgressed and that
Affirmed against it an indefensible argument.

34. It tore in their hearts passageways
Of hatred, so that hatred cannot reside in them.

35. So its traces of your sword thanked you in them
With skeletons reciting them, writhing necklaces.

36. Whoever lives among them by fleeing,
Your sword above him is death wherever he goes.

37. Indeed, there was in the horizons of your justice a pasture
In which, had they not betrayed, there was for them an easy living.

38. And in justice is the reform of all creation
But the delinquent corrupts among it.

39. Had a prophetic mercy not saved them
Bequeathed from you to the son from the father.

40. Not one person of Sindh would have lived
And had he lived, captivity and chains would have wasted his life.

41. So if they repeat, the lesson will come itself
To examine it in its burrows, the lion tears the flowers.

42. You are the Imam, the Just Ruler by whom
The upright religion is supported and strengthened.

43. Binding on the people are four things:
So no person has release or escape from them.

44. His obedience is a duty, serving him is piety
Supporting him is religion, and pleasing him is resolve and determination.

45. To you belongs the land, by earning and inheritance
And however much property it carried and people it gathered.

46. Your praise lasts as long as meadows bloom
And were it not for it, neither chamomile nor anemones would emit fragrance.

47. And your light lasts as long as the morning appears to the viewer
And were it not for it, people would be lost and goals unattained.

48. Your virtues are the pearls which if
Its necklaces materialized, no polished surface would remain on earth.

49. Alas! The description cannot fully capture some of it
When it aspires or comprehends a limit.

50. How can the sea be measured? Or how can mountains be weighed?
Or can grains of sand be counted and grouped?

51. And it is not strange you have exceeding virtue, but rather
Your life in the world is bliss and your comfort is infancy.

52. My praise of you will be spent knowing that it
Reaches you at the essence of refined jewelry.

53. Ibn Hani has excelled in praise of al-Mu'izz
Guided to it by that honor and glory.

54. So too my praise of you flowed when I saw what
Al-Qadi's son saw, and the two praises equated, the son to the grandfather.

55. May you have an Eid that came yearning for a glance
At you, for which sake a year goes by.

56. Informing through it the one whose worth is lofty
Of various merits, none other has fatigue like it.

57. So he sees a face every light is its rays
And kisses a palm every generosity for it has splendor.

58. And the perfection appears to him from you which contained
Innumerable beautiful attributes as if singular.

59. And he knows that God ennobled His land
By your existence in it, so the bright star took pride.

60. Congratulations on the Blessed Eid for you have heard
Greetings for it loudly rustling the coat of mail.

61. It shakes rhymes of pleasure and vigilance from you
As the twigs swayed from the eastern breeze and bowed down.

62. So you still receive every Eid and season
While your empire remains supported, aided and strong.

63. And you lasted for it coming and going
A remaining that eliminates enviers and extends.
