1. My Master Sa'd al-Din, the hopeful plea
From the abundant grace of your hands, the best to hope for

2. If my body departs from you, I still have
A heart that stays with you and does not leave

3. I prepared it for eternity as the most useful preparation
And after God, it is on Him that I depend

4. If any land fought another, it would fight
The land of Syria over which is the land of Mosul

5. The land of Syria and its people long for it
With the thirst of the thirsty for the coolness of water

6. It is the rain of poverty, the refuge of the naked,
The shelter for the afflicted, the cloak for the helpless

7. The Lord of courage, generosity and piety
The lion of valor, the protector and supplier of weapons

8. And it increases my longing for him when I see
The people of virtue deprived of a benefactor

9. His generosity fulfilled the requests of those who asked
And it spread and encompassed all those who did not ask

10. You have made Sa'd al-Din the happiest hopeful one
And the essence of conversation and the delight of the contemplator

11. And you supported Nur al-Din when you advised excellent
Opinion, and the chosen sword

12. And courage forever ties down
The towering from the lowly and distinguishes the brave from the coward

13. It is an unceasing rain, a lion whose determination does not weaken
It is the rain of the land, the lion of valor whose resolve does not falter

14. The promise of the young man is an obligation, and your servant
In both cases did or did not do
