وكفك للجدوى ورأيك للحزم
O my lord, may your endeavors ever seek the heights,
My hopes still aspire to what is sublime
And your hand offer bounty, and your judgment show prudence.
Your efforts yield results and counsel is wise

The most virtuous predecessor has passed on, leaving you to bestow bounty;
The best of ancestors have passed away
So praise be to God for what the later rain has preserved of the season’s first rain.
Yet God has let the guardian remain, a mark of honor
Sol 6.1
