1. I obeyed the prohibition in my support and eloquence
So my sword became sheathed and my tongue

2. And I went around until it was said cowardice and sometimes
A resolute person in his matter becomes cowardly

3. It is the nature of the one who prohibits the soul as an excuse and gets up
With the burdens of the vicissitudes of fate and occurrences

4. My virtues make the nights and men intimate
Out of loyalty, and who do I have reliability with them

5. When my commendable qualities appeared refined
My hopes became hesitant and confused

6. And the period of a covenant passed without preserving it
Harm and harmony met in the arena, two adversaries

7. After his victory, the alive one showed the hypocrisy
So you do not find a true friend anywhere

8. I have seen the threats of death without his loyalty
Or poverty and the two conditions are equal

9. And patience, some of its burden
Almost causes the tolerant one to collapse and it is of two bowls

10. I have set up for it from the desire for praise a shoulder
Standing with the burden of glory not weakening

11. And I and the people of Iraq, foremost in wealth
United in meaning and separated in source

12. I walk with them, most adorned and decorated
And we return while the two states are different

13. To whistles of bliss, its essence
Increases from their blessings in the abdomen

14. My needs chase them insistently
And their wealth makes my ambitions covet

15. If an intelligence inclined me toward them
And an understanding of their injustice and deviation from me

16. They love my excellence as long as I conceal my motives
So if I express them, affection dies with hatred

17. And an ear listens to what is indecent
If it is not decent, it will not listen

18. And if it weren't for vizier Zainab
It roams the ruins of the desert wasteland

19. It competes with the ostrich of the desert in distance from harm
And folds the wings of the air in flight

20. When I am thirsty and roses are within reach, it avoids
Approaching them, fearing discord

21. It frolics during the time of separation in its meadows
By the breeze of the young tree and tamarisk

22. But it was tightened by power and bounty
With the finest elite of the two races

23. With the whitest of the high-born Quraish, hopeful
For the day of bestowal or the day of spears

24. With my soul associating with Him who is present
Even if a condition assisted it would suffice me

25. Noble in nature not wasting time
For resolve and not for the hesitant weakling

26. It rivals the fountain of the sun in its light on its face
And surpasses the water of life with clairvoyance

27. It permits intimacy and refuge generously and prosperity
After they were blocked by weakness so they shine

28. Brave when others are not brave
Dignified when judgments are not weighty

29. Its shirt is worn out and its cloak is folded
Against a storm of shaking and separation

30. It sees with its speculation the consequences of its matter
So it avoids them for the enlightened near

31. When the opinion becomes manifest in solving a problem
Its information is of proven correctness like sight

32. It teaches the swords of sarcasm and its white blades their might
When the two groups meet in the fray

33. So it goes forth and runs in the throats and in the hills
A young man without error and without deviation

34. And deadly battles whose essence
And the shining of the sword flash

35. Dense that makes the atmosphere a hard ground
For which the army sprawls with spreading and separation

36. In it, its ferocity and its steeds resemble
Forgetfulness of running and honey are equal

37. And its charging of learned war horses
So every tight rein stumbles with its bridle

38. It shades archers under armors as if
The quivers are rattling beneath them with their arrows

39. Determined ones who do not dislike death
When it is declared in the narrow strait

40. Their souls are intimate with war, the closest intimacy
As if they were suckled by it in infancy

41. They lent the wind today the heat of their cauldrons
So the noon sun shortened it in coursing

42. And a determination carried them to the encounter
From which racing horses learn precedence

43. With an opinion of correctness and support you revealed
To you the glory and its accompaniment come together

44. And you granted the people's blood to the soil and the land
While their faces are from a predecessor and a maker

45. So from the dust of battlefields a dusty redness appears
And a redness from the water of the throats, intensely red

46. The nobility of religion took the heights and a resolve circled
With it which was not cultivated for anyone submissive

47. So it became the refuge of the persecuted and the wealth of
The poor in trial and injustice of time

48. Filling the horizon of the sky in the evening
And in the morning with flowing, radiant smoke

49. Appointed in their endeavor, those who died for its dignity
To empty bowels and fill graves

50. The hearts of its enemies vie with its generosity
When they are invited to invade in the wavering

51. Lamps of the darkness of night, imams of
Guidance, preachers, leaders of paradise

52. They came to you meeting a hopeful aspiring wealth
And safety of a panic-stricken and active poor

53. So you were congratulated on the feast which you are foremost
For us in happiness and after you second
