1. My tears flow from my eyelids
Melting in my cheeks from my sighs

2. I moan as a dove moaned mournfully
In a green garden midst its trees

3. The breeze whispers to the branches
That gently sway responding to its calls

4. A dove flutters its wings over my heart
Frightened, rushing lest it sees its hunter

5. My color has faded from the air I buried
My eyes are blind and my fingers tired

6. Of a strong-armed little girl whose glances
Kill the kings of strife in their moments

7. The bend of her neck shames the banana trees
The flutter of her eyes disgraces the gazelles

8. Her cheek's taste surpasses pure honey
Her blossoming cheeks and red roses gardens

9. Strange that the gardens with her cheeks
Are chaste but exude aromatic fragrances

10. She shone though the night of hair hides her light
Her sun-like face banished all darkness

11. Together we quartered in a square
While forgetfully gathered its tents

12. In joy that fears no envier's plots
Our times blissfully heedless of missteps

13. Our nights white with the light of our union
Our happy days mounting their steeds

14. Our hours blessed, unspoiled by sorrows
Never sensing misfortune's steps near us

15. The world flourished for us, adorned
Its blessings encompassing all lands

16. As if the Sultan's dew spills its bounty on it
His flowers igniting flames in the sky

17. Happy is he whose heart's echo is his name
Sight of him cures the sick of their ailments

18. The standard of the august Sultan - its rivers
Flowing for every lofty summit

19. Under it lions roar in sorrow
And pythons coil in knots

20. As if the stars of the sky were his enemies
Raiding with armies stretching endless

21. Unsheathed are his swords dispensing fate
Vanquishing the might of the many foes

22. Grim facing the feet of Death in fray
Laughing when enemies retreat terrified

23. His spears bow in the hearts of enemies
Prostrating on the ground before his might

24. His face shining brightly with good news
When fierce fighting makes his forehead sweat

25. His wisdom and his horses dazzle his enemies
Their foreheads glistening with his victory's light

26. A leader whose rule and law filled God's land
Its chieftains and governors bent to him

27. I ask my Lord to eternize his reign
And raise its rungs higher for him

28. That he remain honored and blessed
His light ever luminous for us
