1. The rhymes of poetry were enchanting as he led them,
My affection to the crown of the state, the undaunted.

2. The longing lover's bliss in union, the contented sipper
Of delight that soft breezes diminish, gently wafting.

3. For the generous overflowing bowl he praised,
Attaining glory through his help and generosity.

4. The abode of land yields to his decrees,
And from it returns the night, face of dawn.

5. He meets the uncouth with dignified reserve,
At the bowl, and in tumult with self-restraint.

6. You see him in peace, harmonizing his wealth,
And with the army, harmonizing souls.

7. Men's destiny in battle and his strike,
And piercing, the destiny of keen swords and spears.

8. He boldly raids the lands, his white swords and spears,
And returns driving fear, not missing his mark.

9. In him is passion, without any vileness,
And a brother of splendor, at the peak, soaring.

10. Excellent, Abu Al-Abbas, what liberties!
And the sanctuary of Abu Al-Abbas is inviolable.

11. Zealous for the Merciful, Lord of piety,
His passions are serious, not joking.

12. He left desire in his youthful prime,
Where the elders have desire and diversion.

13. So if eyes glance toward forbidden fruit,
He lowers his gaze, and to glory, Lord of ambition.

14. The morals of forefathers he emulated from them,
The traits of glory, in his day, and struggle.
