1. The universe rejoiced and time's face shone bright,
And mankind expressed in sweetest tongue their delight,

2. The birds of joy sang gladly at dawn,
Ashaming the flute with hands that play so light,

3. And companionship sang in meadows so blithe,
As fortune arrived in most auspicious time,

4. For time had brought our souls to highest peak,
Like a maiden fair of most joyous sign,

5. Good news we saw, a glorious conjunction,
The sun of beauty and excellence intertwine,

6. Of glory and nobility then virtue,
And wisdom, generosity of the finest vine,

7. The steadfast hero amidst the fray,
My brother of heart, firm when spears align,

8. The stalwart horseman, the truthful guide,
The victor of old in days of line,

9. And he who when he draws his sword of Indian steel,
Can slay the lord of sword and sculpted shrine,

10. And if lions see him in their fear,
They cower and call "Safety! Safety!" a sign,

11. That is Ali of highest fate among all people,
His name with glory and honor combine,

12. So rise to him in raiment of delight,
Congratulations! For now is the time!

13. And the full moon joined the sun of beauty,
Happy are they! And the fires align,

14. Like two jewels joined in delight,
A necklace made of perfect design,

15. A joyous message came as fortune arrived,
Date it with the finest conjunction of sign!
