1. O sea, you have sprinkled the people of earth
And my feathers are cleaned by time and fate

2. And how can the events of nights intoxicate me
While your existence is an armor and veil for me

3. And if the atrocious heart shatters my ribs
Your generosity, my Master, mends them

4. Saif Bin Sultan, you have illuminated the heights
Your white flags, none can deny them

5. You are a full moon whose light never wanes
Generosity is your horizon, and grace is your month

6. Your virtuous pens tremble for the dew
In their deeds at times of clamor, they dumbfound the wakeful

7. You have ruled the necks of people gently and left
No free man on earth who can be called free

8. With your palms, fires blaze on the enemies
And gardens - their meadows green - for the hopeful

9. When you attack a foe with sword and spear
Wolves, lions and eagles vie and gobble

10. You trample the enemy’s towns at dawn
Reducing them to fragments and rubble

11. Armored against the havoc of your sword
You came to the battle while the sleepless have embers

12. And your horses collect their throats and flesh
You marched even if the darkness was thick

13. You dashed even if the sun bared a grave
Your sword is lightning and the darkness clouds

14. Your horses are ships and the blood a roaring sea
