1. A lightning flashed covertly in the darkness
Casting a spell that illuminated the blackness of night

2. And I thought the Pleiades had moved from their place
In the belly of the blue tent

3. Or had the Veil lifted from their beautiful faces
So they smiled at the green meadow

4. My heart recalled a neighbor in Saakhif
And Tawaalei' with the hall of Al-Wa'asaa

5. With the slopes of the valley I wandered in the morning
A gazelle, with a doe, with a young mountain goat

6. How many a vanishing ghost of the past I encountered
With Salma in the middle of Al-Bat'haa

7. And a dove of Ayk echoed coos
Proclaiming wares, crying with tears

8. Agitated by a past era of bliss
And a life of comfort that had passed in delight

9. Alas! That time and its goodness!
When all desires were united

10. I complain of yearning and missing it
And weep for it with a red tear

11. Had it not been for Sa'eed son of Sultan, who came
In my time, I would not have been among the living

12. He gained leadership, politics, piety
And pride in knowing things

13. In peace, he holds on to obedience
And in battle, he is an axis of shelter

14. This Sa'eedi who ruled the world
Flying high, his generosity gushing forth

15. If you perceive him in fright, you perceive armies
And the mind in him is the scholar of scholars

16. In his grip are gardens of Eden for giving
And hell in war for the enemies

17. The swords and spears rallied in his right hand
From his thrust in the battle of clamor

18. The stars looked upon his deeds and tumbled down
Fearfully, landing inside tent walls

19. Death surges from his sword's blade
Ravage, and from his sharp pens

20. If you seek from him the fulfilment of an obligation
He grants you favors and well-being forever

21. Go on, O son of the Imam, and remain
With blessings, and far from disgrace and ordeals
