1. The palace and al-Mashrafiyya at dawn
Seem at an impasse where its stars have vanished

2. Ruled by the heroes of a noble lineage
Who spurned the despised strangling and its disgraceful companion

3. They refused anything but a fatal blow in the battlefields
And a stab like a wolf’s fang that bloodies foxes

4. Suta's honor and determination
Against the matter made the capable weary of its demands

5. Aspirations like the sharp edge of a sword, a call to the heights
Abundant are his hands and numerous his virtues

6. Whenever hopes of glory and sublimity brewed
His pens and arrows contained them for him

7. Progressing while the zeal of men are his pillars
Ongoing while the plains of steeds are his paths

8. Racing to him in peace and battle
Are his praiseworthy books and battalions

9. When the clouds' rain is stingy with its pouring
His good qualities make him needless of wishes

10. Unbound in gallantry, his generosity outpaces mankind
And his excellent apologies are rewarded

11. As if the Zephyr's delight in his talk
Were a Dar'i voice revealing its burdens

12. No stubborn but magnanimous and valiant
In morals and paths shaken by him

13. A lad of blessed birth and nature
And blessed are his endeavors and gains

14. So he came like pouring rain, crowding
Swimming playfully, enjoying its drinker

15. Boasting courageously of fierce blows
And excelling, though time creeps slowly

16. Abu Ja'far has planted the caliphate, Mustafa
The guiding Imam of all glory and its horizons

17. His generosity permitted the darkness of night and fortune
And the light of his existence banished its ambiguities
