1. He is the towering mountain, and every peril
That threatens others is to him a gentle breeze.

2. Frivolity enhances his dignity;
Cares add to his wisdom.

3. His benevolence shines like lightning for those who seek his aid,
And his clouds rain heavily on those who question him.

4. He lavishes from his tenderness on the farthest regions,
As if all people were his dear kindred.

5. Vigorous in his affection, frail in his enmity,
Yet terrible when quarreling with the proud,

6. And a kind friend when reconciliation comes.
When the well-trained mares enter his palace with eulogies,

7. They divert from them the springs, but the mares continue whinnying,
Hoping that he will establish in Darami

8. Ease and plenty for them and their riders.
The wise show patience though they suffer pain,

9. And none is blamed but Ahmad is the most forbearing.
A minister whose triumphs make the barren land fertile,

10. And the bright sword flashes from his ready smile.
His ambition is sublime as heaven,

11. Overshadowing from his deeds the stars.
