1. When power exalts the ranks of men
Your rank is surely most sublime

2. So how can lesser men disparage you
Exalted at glory's farthest clime

3. And who can match Sa'd al-Din in valor and fame
When death and strife call warriors to arms

4. Harder than unfeeling rock in your wrath
Gentler than rainclouds when quiet calm

5. In his beloved there yet remains
A passion that purer loves cannot match
