1. Congratulations and abundant generosity are ours,
While you are of the highest and most exalted status.

2. Though this was the greatest opening of conquests,
Your destiny is beyond epochs.

3. What great and arrogant man
Can compare to your magnificent glory?

4. Horsemen marched against them,
Returning with spoils and as victors.

5. Tidings that delight us to hear
And whose description distracts us from amorous verse.

6. The clouds of your punishment overcast them,
Striking them down with its first drops.

7. It destroyed their land with sprinkling,
So how will it be when it truly pours down?

8. How much enemy blood have you spilled,
Healing the sick and freeing prisoners?

9. How many raids preceded this one,
With none to match your tireless efforts?

10. You summoned the brave warriors,
And they dutifully brought their gifts.

11. Cowards that flee the evils of conflict
And roar when the lions have gone.

12. They brought you captives of those
Who tyrannized, and whom you brought death.

13. Had the speartips not reached them first,
Their fear and anguish would have killed them.

14. Had the swordblows not finished them off,
Their dread of your might around them would have.

15. They knew repentance was futile,
When your prowess encircled them without escape.

16. But the deceitful hopes of fate
Misguided them down wrong paths.
