1. The light of grandeur has returned, and return is most beautiful,
And this is its greeting, with which it exults,

2. It appeared to the exalted, adorned with the finest spectacle,
Imagining its meaning imprinted on the mind.

3. Upon it is a garment of pride, magnificent,
Wandering in its loss, it sways gracefully,

4. More precious than carnelian, a necklace around its neck,
Strung with good fortune, and most superb.

5. It shakes the frame of wonder with ecstasy through it,
My people have attained from its time what they hope for.

6. Yes, joy has arrived and sorrow departed,
And calamities receded while serenity draws near.

7. And the full moon of glory rose through it,
For it is the orbit of sublime deeds and the abode of might.

8. And the light of the garden of generosity has diffused its blossoming,
With the sweetest scent when the east wind ignites.

9. And the breeze of victory blew to the people their wishes,
On a day through which the honorable one excelled.

10. The world has adorned itself for it and the noble ones dazzled by it,
And hopes became fortunate through it for the hopeful.

11. As long as I live I will sanctify it as a great celebration,
And bequeath it, when I die, to be made so.

12. My friend, time has become good, so hurry
To comfort, for companionship in comfort is most complete.

13. Turn, O cupbearer, the cups, for they
Are for every breast the burnisher of the heart's essence.

14. With them, fine features increase in refinement,
And the ecstatic heart rests in joy.

15. When it emerges from its flask in the cup,
You would think the full moon a temple for the sun.

16. It tells of the old happiness and succession,
In the most eloquent meaning of what adorns drink.

17. Conversations which if recited to the devotion of youth,
To it and about its taverns, nothing equals.

18. Congratulations to moons whose crescents keep company,
With the house of the light of comfort, tarrying and accepting.

19. By my life, they have succeeded just as you succeeded in attaining your wish,
Through the proximity of a generous one whose favours cascade.

20. Most revered, most awe-inspiring to his enemies,
And most auspicious for one who hopes when a problem arises.

21. For the grandeur, signs point to him,
Beaming, and the banner of glory is not concealed.

22. He has an ambition that brings near everything far,
And makes easy the difficult which cannot be easily resolved.

23. Swift, slow, forgiving, and his punishment,
Far, near, when he intends and asks.

24. For him is the penetrating wisdom, when the darkness
Of a confusing affair darkens, perplexing the mind.

25. Through it those who have helped his forefathers are guided,
And the wretched doubter is abandoned and fails.

26. His mind depicts the forms of truths,
With the instrument of thought and insightful heart.

27. So he knows the essence of a thing before it exists,
And decides what he chooses of it and acts.

28. And no doubt the faithful seer,
Sees with a light from The Merciful, no metaphor.

29. Miracles transcending normalcy, signs of his glory,
Perplex minds and reason comprehends.

30. Through his mission, wonders appeared to us, enduring
Through them, narrations to the world are conveyed and circulated.

31. They say who is this generous one who came,
Is he an angel or one sent by God?

32. Blessed is He who gave him what he deserves,
Of kingship what He gave Solomon before.

33. Elevation, guidance, glory, joy,
And wisdom upon which is relied in important affairs.

34. That is the grace of God, He gives it to whom He wills,
And He singles out with preference the one who is superior.

35. So destruction to one who vainly aspires,
Like the companions of the elephant, hopes.

36. Audacious in the face of dangers, not fearing adversity,
Steadfast on the day of calamity, not wavering.

37. If they transgress the limits into aggression,
He will overwhelm them with the torment of the convulsing.

38. If only they would abandon him as refuge,
They would flee but for them from him there is no refuge.

39. That day, where is the escape for them, while
The night of woe has encompassed them, endless.

40. Through it ambitions are snatched, as if they
For the grandeur, are insects and locusts.

41. And victory, mighty, has descended for the one of glory,
While the transgressor, wretched, disappointed, laments.

42. So O eminent above peers in generosity and joy,
And most felicitous, for whom fortune is set lofty.

43. Whose awe is feared and struggle deprecated,
Vanquishing one opponent after another, excelling.

44. And if anyone were called other than him one day,
Because of his reverence, the opponent’s feet would not carry him.

45. Upon you is the victory of truth, God is sufficient,
And be just in your rule, yourself you must judge.

46. Shepherd the flock with care and insight,
And endow them with virtue, O most virtuous.

47. And be among them of Umar's conduct,
For you will, by God, be questioned about them.

48. And fear the supplication of the oppressed, for between it
And God, no barrier, do not be oblivious of it.

49. With firmness, hasten against every recalcitrant transgressor,
Obstinate, for him the path of truth altered.

50. And mete out for them a roaring, raging sea,
So whoever is tyrannical, it tosses him like a wave.

51. And unleash upon them raid after raid,
On a day through which a mother is bewildered of her child.

52. And the trusted one judges between the two parties in dispute
For he is in judgments most determined and excellent.

53. Until you see the wicked fallen dead from the calamity,
As if they had risen intoxicated and drained it.

54. And I have returned from the house I spent the night,
And came hastily to your abode speeding.

55. In it I was enamored reciting your praise
Upon you, and for reproach in that there is no admission.

56. So I said to the reproacher, gently, I
By the truth of the most high, am travelling to him.

57. So do not blame me for praising the father of glory
With what virtue in him is, as if you are ignorant.

58. For in the son of Suhayl my poetry rises gloriously,
And by the son of Suhayl every hardship will be eased.
