1. O sun, no eclipse or gloominess,
And no lights lacked your light.

2. The full moon is incomplete, and you are perfect,
For you are the brilliance, and for it the concealment.

3. Your shining is a remedy for Islam from its ailments,
A cure, while for its enemies is perdition.

4. You are nothing but a sword whose rust
Was removed from its blade by the cleaver.

5. If harm could be borne away from a breath,
The sights would have borne it away before you.

6. If a land ransomed a sky, the countries
Would ransom you with their kings.

7. You are their rescue when they are stricken with drought,
And their best when the virtuous are mentioned.

8. And in the bed of kingship is a king
To God among his elite ones are secrets.

9. The best of the kings of earth in ancestry and father,
If the wrists of glorious carpenter are moved.

10. He extended over the religion a porch of a state,
Its poles were disputed by the sleepless.

11. It rose up a building and settled in his hand,
Thus it is over the wall and the bracelet.

12. Commendable is the time of his kingdom,
So the living in it should be content.

13. O light of a religion whose horizons were darkened,
Had not these traces shone.

14. To God belong your days, whatever
Passes by them cannot be traced even by musk.

15. You submitted to Islam and pasture its flock,
When its shepherds went astray.

16. You complained, so the world is discontent for its inhabitants,
While next to it is settlement.

17. The earth almost died out of sorrow,
If not for a recovery that brought it back to life.

18. The Turks visited you from a lineage whose dress
Is envied by the Arabian leopard.

19. Your wishes never lacked bestowing it
A gift of favor which it may choose.

20. Time did not permit us that you remain for us,
So every wound that touched us is severity.
