1. I rejoiced at the presence of the noble Sheikh,
And his generous Caliph who manages his affairs,

2. Organizing his matters in this world and the next
With the wisdom and piety of a knowledgeable and virtuous man.

3. He shows it the straight path,
That leads to the straight path.

4. He constantly adheres to the way of the Guide,
With his pure and unblemished heart.

5. He spreads the cool breeze of religious knowledge,
Abundantly to the resident and the traveller.

6. I rejoiced at a presence that gives life and growth,
And that heals the illnesses of the sick through his blessings.

7. I rejoiced at what it contains of noble qualities,
And the generous and protective hospitality it provides.

8. It contains the excellent traditions,
And the magnificent Quran and Sunnah.

9. It brings together wisdom, knowledge,
Manners, dignity and glory.

10. It reveals subtle, beautiful, eloquent metaphors,
Grand in their symbolism.

11. It composes strands of abundant prose,
And scatters precious gems of verse.

12. It shelters righteous men and generous hosts,
And shares wealth fairly.

13. It gathers honor, stature,
And a graceful bearing.

14. I delighted in a presence with beacons,
And flags of the upright religion.

15. It contains a pillar of God-consciousness,
Dear to the soul and protective of sanctity.

16. A lighthouse for the lost, guidance for the astray,
A reminder to the heedless and advancement for the righteous.

17. And relief for the distressed bearing sorrows,
A refuge for the troubled and wealth for the destitute.

18. The glorious Sunnah is preserved within it,
Safe from violating that which is sacrosanct.

19. The Chosen One (Muhammad) is no cheat leaving an unfair inheritance,
Avoiding the law of the unjust cheat.

20. But he bore the caliphate and carried it,
Subduing it through his firm resolve.

21. He assumed his father's position as was right,
And built upon the glory of his ancient abode.

22. And he said to every supporter of Muhammad,
"Rise to your place and be upright.

23. You will be content with this position so incline not,
To what the despicable outcast group dictates."

24. For the miracle of our wisdom did not cease,
Nor did the wisdom of the All-Wise ever cease.

25. For the Sheikh inspired me with this,
And that I should be his guarantor and keeper,

26. By resolving problematic issues,
And caring for widows and orphans.

27. Distributing money and livestock,
And good naturedly forgiving the slights of the blameworthy.

28. Staying up nights regularly with true intention,
In it lies success.

29. And reciting the Book attentively,
Comprehending with understanding from one who understands.

30. And reviving the commands by receiving them,
With joy in the core of this religion.

31. To what it comprises of pleasant qualities,
More delightful to the boon companion than wine.

32. So after their hardness they softened,
And attained what the obstinate seek.

33. A young man traveled from afar,
Blown by your kindness, O breeze of the zephyr.

34. Seeking a scent from it,
And how much the hopeful attains through a scent.

35. Imposing, he reached out to you openly,
With a hand empty of resentment and blame.

36. Until he came to your gathering in good fortune,
And circled around the garden of the noble Sheikh.

37. The Chosen One has no equal, nor does
Any other hand contain what his generous hand contains.

38. Blessed is his Lord in him, who granted him
The life of joy and bounty.

39. Upon him prayers from the Merciful, his Helper,
As he chose them from the Compassionate.
