1. A day of days, blessed in effect
I've never seen a day like it, it was most strange

2. When I saw the weather like ink
With a view that fills the eyes of whoever looked

3. The ice clothed it and the rain blocked it
As I saw the cotton around the pearls

4. Breaking like the wind's breaking on an ugly day
I spent my regrets foolishly on it

5. Starting early in the prime of the prime
How could it not contain the substances of danger?

6. The neighbor of Abi Tamam, the most clement king
The most generous of God's creation, nomad or settled

7. And the best of them in an open expanse or a home
The heart of Qusa, the brightness of Lu'ay, the Mudar tribe

8. And the son of dignity, ruin, and rock
He whose wealth is at risk from his generosity

9. And his view the balance of people's opinions
And his assumption an eye for him into fate

10. He executes affairs, his command when he commands
Like the release of an arrow after the bowstring

11. God elevated him in the heights and gave him long life
And made success his in all he desires and makes happy
