1. The hands of God aid and guard him,
To the piety of one whose worship is all-encompassing and thankful,

2. Who returns the radiance to downcast faces,
Yet whose thanks withhold every whim,

3. Whose humility increases as his power grows,
For taking the initiative is the valor of the courageous,

4. As if the clamor of pilgrims at his land,
And his caller at night and at daybreak,

5. Is the clamor of pilgrims who knew Suaimeq,
A guarantor for them, of the All-Forgiving,

6. The bitterest adversity is easy, and its friendship good,
Exalted is the pillar of the house, abundant in glories,

7. When the prey of necks goes against his desire,
He corrects them with sound opinion before the swords,

8. He intended for preparedness while the efforts are good,
Echoed between pure souls,

9. So he came like the sharp blade of a sword, the most generous lord,
And the most gently touched and roughest supporter,

10. A young man whose plunder is the money of the poor, and whose might
Is sanctuary for the seeker of refuge in treacherous nights,

11. And how many difficulties of war and calamities
Shone in the days of the brilliant minister,

12. So the chests of East and West remained safe,
Swift to goodness, obeying commands.
