1. You remained obeyed as long as a dove cooed,
And as long as the roaring stallion danced with its rider,

2. And as long as the eloquent free man acknowledged the beauty,
So he rewarded him with eternal praise in the aftermath.

3. You are the pointer of fate in might and generosity,
And the defeater of the armies of distress and tribulations,

4. Smiling while the whites (swords) cry over their sunset,
With what flows from the red water of separation.

5. You are the mobilizer of the army of opinion in every turmoil,
It shatters the edges of the spear and the bows.

6. When it builds a row of eloquence in armor,
It starts demolishing from it the rows of processions.

7. So in every line, concise or prolix,
Are battalions whose might defeats battalions.

8. Their tombs are the red soil of spears and their hissing,
The skulls and the parchment, the course of the pouring rains.

9. A minister who comprised glory between apt occasions,
Honored and famous acquisitions and gains.

10. So his days did not give him but his right,
Nor did the loftiness of positions raise him.

11. Serious, he prolongs silence not out of arrogance,
That would discredit, nor out of weakness towards a companion.

12. And not out of limitation, for he has not ceased being the best speaker,
And the most eloquent orator and the most eloquent writer.

13. Rather, it is a shyness that has always filled his eye
From people in their hopes and demands.

14. So he underestimates abundant generosity and deems it small,
While he is great, and fears reproach from one who does not reproach.

15. And he disdains concealing deceit for a traitor,
So his enemies are the prey of villainy and slanderers.

16. The most clement, the neighbor settles on his yards
With the most terrifying killer of enemies and violent people.

17. The beauty of the beloved, the giver of generosity, the towering sublime,
And the impending protector and victory, the fulfiller of hopes.

18. And the corpses of the steeds of generosity are constantly laboring,
And in evil, the firmness of the defiant calamities.

19. So the month of fasting and the whole world
Were congratulated for its state, as long as water flows for a drinker.
