1. His determination is reinforced, extending its porticoes
Over the landmarks of religion, raising and founding them

2. He returned churches into sanctuaries for guidance, so the
Fire of misguidance faded out, with its fuel buried underneath

3. And he brought back knowledge, training experts from his state
Who refined and sifted, bustling in its filter houses

4. And he set traps for polytheism, so nothing avoided
Being caught in them, except what slipped away

5. O full moon, ever since you rose in the assembly, felicitously,
The flock’s raincloud, greening its pastures

6. Ahmad set up the standard, with his praiseworthy qualities
Through which, fluttering whitely, it kept upright

7. Reviver of His law, after it crumbled down
And its meanings were garbled, after being so eloquent

8. His endowments flourished in it, and his reverence
Until it settled into a balanced, regular pace
