1. I asked the Lord of the Throne, the Lord of Muhammad
For the survival of Vizier Ahmed ibn Muhammad

2. Obeyed when he executes the commands of his day
With him I feel safe from the evils of tomorrow

3. When the prey of kings kiss his carpet
Pride carries the lowest of them to prudence and kindness

4. He is but the star on the horizon of loftiness
With him the seekers of glory and honor are guided

5. Deceitful is the flash of mortals, his veil easy to lift
And the lodging of the two guests is soon to appear

6. He comforts every outcast with his kindness
And shelters with benevolence every homeless

7. He is generous without being deceitful
And initiates good without being forced

8. His joy from the love of noble deeds is as if
The sublime words have quenched him with pure wine

9. He lent the excellence of his achievements to Munif Al-Tawd
And his resolve to the sharp polished sword

10. So he did not care for the howling paper rustling in the wind
Nor feared the short necked hyenas

11. Narrowness hurts him even slightly and his chest is spacious
Rivaling every honored arrival

12. And his lofty years guide those who come at night
To his generosity without need for fire or hearth

13. Some take refuge in his justly used sword
While his forbearance sheaths the fierce warriors

14. With his pardon he erases any great sin
And with his power protects every outcast

15. If his days exceed the promise of pride
Clinging to the acts of the abject flexible enemy

16. So the crown of kings leads him resolutely
As an obedient trained horse with a strong hand
