1. Have patience, for victory belittles hardship
Glory transcends Syria and Egypt

2. Your world will submit to the obedience of the devout
In his soul is the secret of highness to God

3. You were amazed by the conquest of Egypt and beyond
The vanishing of harbors, deserts, and sea

4. You did not know that the stars in their orbit
Descend to him while they are still lofty flowers

5. If the Merciful asked for the obedience of a planet
The Pleiades would submit and the moon would obey

6. A guiding imam, if he lowered his eyelid humbly
His flock would become devoted even if agitated like green grass

7. He obeyed the Lord of the Throne in what He deputized him
So obeying him is faith and disobeying him is blasphemy

8. He illuminates the dark night with his smiles
So is any mortal easier to access in his radiance?

9. He bestowed generosity and justice, benevolence and mercy
So the oppressed triumphed and the dust turned green

10. He is gentle with piety and strong with zeal
As white and brown intermingled in their softness

11. His words and satire are conclusive and decisive
His writing is ink and his stabbing is a spear

12. When his blessings pour like lasting rain
And his legal opinions shine like the sea and ink

13. Every just imam is the pride of his time
And the enlightened righteous man makes the age proud

14. The steed of horses gallops with vigor as if
Extending its breath over the vast yellow desert

15. It turns away from grazing on coarse herbage
And heads for the lush meadows, the home of green grass

16. Crossing the barren plains, thirsty
To a watering place whose rim is bushes and trees

17. There it meets the enlightened one as if he were
A noble stallion who reached his fine steeds

18. He continues his onslaught as the battle rages
And pardons the captives when victory is clear

19. As is his custom to forgive every sinner
When passions flare and the desert grows confined

20. His heart intended good before the caliphate
So benevolence and the imploring validated him

21. He exceeded the limit of his vow along with ability
Thus he deemed the little to be what a cloak could contain

22. His generosity became as radiant as the sun
Universally, and the complainers of their time thanked him

23. The glory of his auspicious state
Was built by the most generous donor when rain was held back

24. With the best minister who gathered allies
And lined the pages with his script from his palm

25. If enemies denied his prominent virtue
His noble effort and eloquence would acknowledge it

26. You remained, Commander of the Faithful, praised
As generous and sublime whether destiny locked or unlocked

27. You are the best qualified for what I praise
And you are my hope's treasure for what I wish
