1. Aspiration of glory's tale came over me
As night fell dark, dawn seemed so distant

2. My determination faded from fate's twists
And will’s ember lay dormant, soon aflame

3. Seeking success’s armor, and it responded
Sweet faced, desirable, adored and feared

4. Al-Malik al-Mu’ayyad, open handed when
He withheld not rain nor lions in multitudes

5. His mantle in each stand doused all in
Bold valor and plumed honor overflowing

6. Revered, though fools envied wretchedly
Merits that even stars in heaven coveted

7. If difficulties arose, calmly he’d smile
Veiling in him all disfavor and contempt

8. None could find in him faults to resent
In his attire, pureness and elegance played

9. May his soul know glory never debased
Whose first tokens are feared, even by prophets
