1. The hands of misfortunes have surpassed you, and avoided
Your envied abode, O hands of calamities!

2. And you have remained, O house of Al Muzaffar, a protection
For the guest and a shelter for the eager seekers.

3. And the glory of Qays has not ceased to be with you,
Rivaling the breasts of the lofty ships.

4. And all your rise, ancient and modern,
And what is counted of lasting pride, going and coming -

5. It contained it, so it grew between generosity and excellence,
The beauty of the world, the adornment of intimacy and processions.

6. Abu Al-Faraj Al-Hamawi's palms whose benevolence
Flows abundantly when the clouds are miserly.

7. The most soothing that reveals the hidden chances is his generosity,
And from his face the darkness of the unknown is illuminated.

8. When the support of the religion approached the conduct of the high,
He spurred the rushing ones in the faces of the steps.

9. So every towering one faded before his hearing,
And every nearer became, to him, all who sought nearness.

10. If he undertook it with a resolve of support,
He showed it the gravel of Al-Ma'zaa', blossoms of stars.

11. Vitality and shyness in greetings, comfort,
And gentle apology in tremendous matters.

12. So he made the month of fasting happy through his devotion,
Pious, praiseworthy endeavor, and perfect traits.
