1. With the radiance of your face the lights shine bright,
And with your glorious favor poems boast and take pride.

2. You brought ease to a state swathed in majesty that still
Repels people and days that have no sights.

3. With virtues your hands have helped the sublime prevail,
For virtues are assistants of the lofty without fail.

4. And when a youth makes praise his only goal,
Then generosity is the field of contention for the great.

5. So be glad and may blessings and joys long persist,
With glories making hopes stretch and woes desist.

6. If not for your generosity and fine moral prohibitions,
Sights would not adorn with one resembling your conditions.

7. Many a night has passed you by without any harm from it,
And many a day has gone without sights within it.

8. Your pouring fingers have made the land flourish,
And from the clouds pour abundant showers gush.

9. And droplets of your rain have blessed as boons,
The generous indeed - their sky is always profuse.

10. And your glory illuminated al-Husayn and his pride,
As the sky is illuminated by the shinning guide of stars.

11. He attained the best of what can be attained and his worth -
Is higher even if all the stars were to rain down to earth.

12. The horses of joy trotted with him to limits of delight,
Where the smoke of hooves rose as dust in the light.

13. The young contained the hopes of the most high,
For the young of the generous are thereby giants in stature though small in size.

14. The youth gives tidings before even being weaned off milk,
And the freeing of horses also becomes clear while they still run wild.

15. When he was born sights glimpsed naught but cups
Of joy being passed from hand to eager hand.

16. So you set about partaking in halal intoxicants,
Not all that dispels worries can be considered a deterrent.

17. A moon whose beauty and perfection give light,
Until the night repeats as day shining bright.

18. And of wonders is that you attempt to purify the like of him,
When how can the purest of all become more pristine?

19. Fatherhood and manhood have purified him,
And through him a branch has grown and progeny smelled sweet.

20. Surely good roots are guaranteed,
When they bear fruit, to have sweetest treats.

21. You would have worn a robe of pride weaving prestige,
Which tailoring and embroidery only make more ornate.

22. So ask people - have you left room for any boasting?
And your ancestor is the flying one (Jafar al-Tayyar).

23. You are nurtured by the elite of a people, without whom
The banners of glory could not have been raised high.

24. He has surpassed all virtue and left it behind,
And rain is praised most when its traces have declined.

25. I have limited myself to praise though inability
To prolong occasion is no embarrassment or deprecation of me.

26. And there is many a saying that cannot be faulted for
Being deficient, but frequent falls into disparagement more.

27. I see you and your son both created for benevolence,
Equal in measure while the world is but cycles.

28. So you both remained life’s time as my companions,
Partaking in untainted livelihood shunning all turbulences.
