1. The East exults in you, you are its pillar,
And creation is enlightened by you, you are its guide.

2. Are you not the one who initiated this knowledge and wisdom,
And guided the lofty with light, so it shone radiantly?

3. O excellence of the age, so generous to the masters,
The king of the lofty in it, so his country shone bright.

4. I see Aleppo the lustrous sees in you,
A shining star it discerns amongst the dwellings solitary.

5. The Sultan endowed it with you kindly, though your lofty, grand wisdom,
He entrusted weighty affairs without doubt.

6. He sees you in the battle arena, the most honored protector,
With horses surpassing, galloping steeds.

7. O ocean of knowledge, overwhelming the universe is your merit,
And full moon of understanding, radiant is your guidance.

8. The sword against ignorance destructive regards you,
In you truth is fortified, so you are its pillar.

9. You captured hearts with kindness, bestowing favor,
So which young man's hand could hold their reins?

10. Your friend from afar, yearning for shelter,
Though it eluded his hopes, the wish that drove him.

11. A share with you as guide, he missed out truly,
To a moment adorned when you pitched camp.

12. Shelter within shelter, yesterday gathered you wandering,
At the highest summit, its fire flickering.

13. On a day the rebel submitted to you obedient,
And the free willed softened, melting their hearts.

14. If a share eluded me, eluding my wishes,
One day it must return, and revive its chance.

15.
For my affection does not change with whims,
