1. O you, the sublime youth, the noblest of the noble,
O you, the fairest of the fair, the most perfect and complete,

2. O you, my master, who excels in virtue,
And whom none can match in excellence and perfection,

3. O you, who never strayed from the path of righteousness,
Or wavered in your kindness and benevolence,

4. O refuge of the seekers, oasis for all who depend,
On you from every corner and land they turn,

5. O you, whose brilliant qualities in every region are known,
Your wisdom is not hidden, or excellence unknown,

6. When I seek to describe your traits, ideas overwhelm me,
And I am blinded, unable to grasp or tell,

7. If I, your hopeful admirer, desire your support,
Be glad, o hopeful one, for you shall not fail,

8. Among the people of knowledge, wisdom and excellence,
And open handed generosity, you undoubtedly are first,

9. Yours, by God, is the purest and noblest purpose,
And the best in all you undertake and contemplate,

10. To your abode, o son of sovereigns, I sent her,
To spare me from praising any other than you,

11. Praising you is an obligation, o generous one,
And praising others, mere frivolity,

12. You encompassed a pride no ambitious one attained,
With clouds raining your gifts link after link,

13. You are the sun, but I see it prudent,
That I not turn away and leave you,

14. So stay perfect, lofty one, your excellence is complete,
Your resolve victorious, your view is best.
