1. The days take pride and joy in him,
And bloom when his sublime qualities are recited.

2. The stars envy him in their imaginations,
When his virtues and nobilities become apparent.

3. The light of the full moon is ashamed before his beauty,
And the brilliant rays of the sun are dimmed when he smiles.

4. Bitter are the souls, determination cannot stop his resolute purpose,
Rather he is one with strong opinion and determined in resolve.

5. The young man of the tribe, his palm is like a rain-cloud,
His sword gleams, and his might is sharp.

6. He increases in courage when facing calamities,
And shows clemency when serious crimes appear.

7. If his enemy deceives him,
Destruction turns into kindness.

8. Burning with remembrance of Allah in his solitude,
And thankful and doing good openly.

9. If he profits the prosperous with his wealth,
He becomes, for perpetual praise, a winner.

10. And if Mahmoud builds up wealth from his earnings,
It is from his generosity to the needy that he demolishes the flood.

11. Abu Ja'far, the pillar of the caliphate, and the one,
Whose virtues a few and scholar acknowledge.

12. If they deny or reject this, his brilliant qualities bear witness,
Dispelling the night of calamities, though the day be dark.

13. He trembles for righteousness, as if,
The landmarks provoked in him a bleeding wound.

14. He aspires above every lofty-soaring vulture,
As if the highest summits were base and lowly.

15. The wealth of the world is despised by his noble worth,
As pebbles and coins are equal to the abject.

16. When the hidden caravan breaks up and its beautiful features crumble,
And every pouncing one comes near in his steps,

17. Like the sliding of sand dunes.
And the minister becomes a place of rest and refuge,

18. No harm from the sneaky or ruin from the destructive.
His fresh branch grew in glory - Tamim and Darim -

19. By Allah, how Tamim and Darim have grown!
They came to him in torrents of munificence, as though,

20. Its rivulets in glory were plentiful rains.
