1. Your book on Al-Rashid is a book of truth
It is history returned to reality

2. On its events you shed light
That plunged into its deep abysses

3. With knowledge from trusted minds therein
It guided you to its intimate connections

4. So it did not fail you in understanding and reflection
On its noble and refined aims

5. And how much hidden significance it brought out
In your refined and elegant phrasing

6. And how many riddles that refuse solutions
Were solved for you by the gift of apt intuition

7. You almost bring relics to life with your description
Though their ancient marvels had faded

8. So they returned as they were long ago
With awe and esteem befitting them

9. May God watch over her who wrote to please
With a free spirit and unfettered hand

10. And literature holds deeply hidden
When tied to pure and noble lineage
