1. You pass by, burdened with cares for homelands,
Prepared for this moment, stored up as a treasure.

2. This is the most critical situation. This is when
She summons her calamities to sorrow.

3. Pardon her if the bereaved mother turns away.
Her loss was the best of all the youths.

4. She wore a necklace of stars,
With a blossoming string of two moons adorning it.

5. The stars scattered from it, and the moon folded up.
Her consolation was in the second one remaining

6. Until, when that passed away, its loss renewed
Her sorrows and ruled over her forgetfulness.

7. Return, my people, and let us offer efforts
That have established for glory a lofty edifice.

8. In its width is a lesson, that grows purer
The more it is repeated, filling every garden.

9. I attend to it while my heart is listening
To silent rebukes it reiterates without a tongue.

10. For them that homeland’s gifts were spilled out,
Purchased with blood, souls, and bodies.

11. Can the likes of what your situation has come to,
O people of treachery and abandonment, restore

12. To the country and its people their old alliance
And the strength of faith?

13. Its leaders conspire while its youths
Are their armies in compliance and obedience.

14. Life is clothed in splendid triumphs,
And the land is watered with copious rain.

15. Whether freed or fettered, safe or exiled,
Their condition is all the same.

16. And the tunes of partisanship sound in their ears
Like a fascinating melody with rhythms.

17. Even the females—though it was not their habit
To plunge into the fray alongside the males—

18. Emerged into the fields, unrestrained.
Is there any restraint where there is humiliation?

19. The rose-cheeked beauties ventured their luck
In every line of fire of the archers.

20. O their charm! And their daughters are dyed
With the blood of those who emulate the valiant.

21. In that great time that has passed
Lesser times cannot compare.

22. The tyrants tasted the bitterness of the roses
They cultivated, and evil was the tyrants' way.

23. They realized the danger of obstinacy, so they softened
From their harshness and arbitrary power.

24. And they walked to Egypt’s leaders as peers
Of a kingdom walk to peers.

25. What did they experience of my subtle justice,
Of wisdom in consultation and steadfastness of soul!

26. They discuss while in discussion there is guidance,
Since intentions are illuminated clearly.

27. And I go and return, striving
To attain the goals with composure.

28. No longer do I plan the most perfect scheme,
At times drawing near and at times keeping apart.

29. If a tie is severed, I reconnect it; if
An error occurs, I refute it with proofs.

30. My lucid faith is a fixed star
In the celestial pole while the spheres revolve.

31. Doubt falls away except where
Its brilliance appears to the perplexed.

32. He kept on driving the usurpers from his homelands
Until God restored the homelands.

33. As for his personal life and his career, they
Did not conflict in private and public.

34. The revelers did not see Adli when
Dignity was discarded in the drinking-party.

35. No! Nor was he seen in a moment of firmness
Speaking like someone drunk and out of mind.

36. No! The attractions of a coquette
Did not distract him, nor a flirtatious girl seduce him.

37. As for his qualities, their scent contains
The kinship of those crowned with wreaths.

38. And they have charms that decorum notes
In one frivolous and vain though elegantly dressed.

39.
His manners are those of a human who,

40. When the meanings of nobility are perfected in man.
He bestows his smile in moderation. He is not

41. Lavish with it, nor stingy.
For, smiles on faces are of differing degrees,

42. With subtleties of meaning.
The giver’s showing his teeth is different

43. From smiling that comes from generous giving.
His successors have been completed, refined, so that

44. No blemish of deficiency has touched them.
He upholds his dignity and avoids whatever

45. Would detract from its lofty rank.
Refinement is manifest, pride represented

46. In his elegant, deliberate person.
And forbearance in him is an angelic trait,

47. Above rashness, wrongdoing and enmity.
He who forgives his enemy and his friend

48. A sin—that is the utmost of nobility!
So may the Most High beautify his reward
