1. The speech flees; its enthusiasts have become apathetic.
Worries are driven away from their abodes.

2. The region becomes fertile with prospects.
Prosperity and comfort prevail.

3. In the hands of the exalted, there is a roaring sea
To which clouds and knowledge submit.

4. Unconstrained is the cheerful, triumphant one.
Tameem boasts of him though Tamim came earlier.

5. The sword of his formidable, gallant one
Has its sheath, in the days, inviolable.

6. With his raids and valor he reaps
Daybreak and the ignorant night turns bright.

7. So I am turbid; no complaint flees me.
And I am efflorescent; the coward flees me.

8. Full of love for him, I am audacious.
Articulate in my preservation, I am an opponent.

9. The two blacks belong to him along with glories -
A dense army and a solid, firm line.

10. So a fluent or a perfect one supports him;
Their arena is scrolls and tomes.

11. He who proclaims openly victory for the defeated one
But has a concealed whisper for the dew.

12. I held fast to a rope finer than the rope of Nuzaar
By which the meek feel safe and the penniless.

13. With a piercing when the pleader is disgraced
And a morsel when the stars withdraw.

14. I slept but the watcher of my affairs did not sleep
And the grief-stricken one redeems the glorious one.

15. And he protected the donations of the benefactress from him,
Disdaining to give the envious what they covet.

16. So he was generous with my grace of help and honor.
We circle the sword whose sharpness is blunted by sheaths.
