1. I boast to the horsemen of the East altogether
Of their best man in the abodes of the exalted, a man

2. Whom I name a prince, and the prince is named after him
I mean, of noble character and refined disposition

3. He rose above the world with his ascent
And how far from it in flourishing is the ascent of the son of Jalaa

4. I examined the news of the people of my time but did not see among
The most intelligent of men and the most decisive of them a parallel to him
