1. O spirit of our great Yusuf
Hover over the people's presence

2. And with the wings of majesty
Inspire my weak utterance

3. With the eloquence of mighty tongues
That I may barely meet

4. His rightful due of praise
O holder of momentous fate

5. You were congratulated for momentous mention
This is your example of sincerity

6. Told in hearts
Told only with attributes

7. Of honesty and pure nature
The painter despaired of depicting them

8. So they remain in the folds of the soul
Is this your pleasure, Abu Najib

9. With grief over the battlefields?
This day he made them forget

10. Their pains in profuse delight
You accustomed them to see you

11. In the evening and at dawn
You stood watching over them

12. As you did in the dire times
Fear no rain this day

13. Nor storms' fierce squalls
How much have you heard from my poems

14. About the great one and my songs
Great poetry shakes you

15. Said about the great man
And today for you my tune rings

16. Hear it from atop the ether
If I compose, then I'm a poet

17. Who tells the truth from emotions
No desire for verse incited me

18. Nor love of fame
Tell those who envied me

19. And denied my merit and good
If my silence deceived you

20. My roar shall ambush you
O enduring monument

21. What a difference between your magnificent present
And trivial past

22. You were once but stones
Now the pride of eras
