1. The heart inspired the eloquent tongue
To adorn the lines with radiant pearls

2. And inscribe the finest verses sung
In melodious tones it did unfurl

3. Words blossom from its sleeves
Like roses, pleasing in scent and sight

4. The secret of eloquence in my wondrous speech
Is your appreciation of peerless verse

5. And your ear's recoil from worthless prattle
That your soul spurns like fabricated talk

6. Rhymes soar loftily in your sphere
You traverse the cosmos in vast space

7. O sword of our state and leader of its troops
May your honored, garlanded hand be well

8. Time has sworn it will never bring his like
The age has broken its oath, none like you will it see

9. You are unique in leadership, awe, and wit
Discerning what we cannot see

10. This grand festival, though lofty its worth
Across the ether, ascending adorned

11. And planes, though rising high in the sky
Your stature above them between all creatures

12. Grant us more good deeds aspiring
To the sublime, advancing and evolving

13. The precious nation, through you, is graced
With a pride we rightly can boast

14. To you I give the most precious of what my treasury contains
A necklace whose gems excellence pearls
