1. O you who has no equal in generosity,
Whose kindness flows unrestrained,

2. It brings me joy that you are here with me today,
For here is a singer with a sweet voice,

3. And a companion who trades verses with me,
Challenging the poetry of Ibn Hani.

4. So honor me with your company, for this is a day
Of beautiful countenance, from the progeny of time.

5. The meadow is adorned with flowers,
As poems are adorned with meanings.
