1. My fortune awoke after a long sleep
With the goodness of a righteous king and the son of a virtuous imam

2. I returned to the sweet Nimr from the meadows of Ahmed
To my thirst for him and my hopes

3. I attained by it the height of glory ascending
And pitched my tent above the two temples

4. And went with a delighted eye and wishes
And met from him events without blame

5. I secured my hopes for the events in his shade
And attained from the distant goal my wishes

6. And through him I outpaced those who were evading me
And towered high above all competitors

7. And I woke while the jealous slanderer was saying to me
To destroy me utterly in happiness and eminence

8. And my long year became for me like an instant
While many an instant passed upon me as a year

9. I used to think time would not fulfil
In keeping its pledges or shepherding its trusts

10. But my time became submissive as though
It feared my compelling authority and swords

11. Why should misfortunes not be humiliated before one who repaired
To the best protector and best advocate

12. So rejoice, my heart, for you have attained your wish
And sleep, my eye, for you have obtained security
