1. O withholder of the cup, the horses of roses have arrived
As meteors and stars, so pour, o withholder of the cup
١. يا حابِسَ الكَأسِ خَيلَ الوَردِ قَد وَرَدَت
شُهباً وَكُمتاً أَدِر يا حابِسَ الكاسِ
2. I swear the roses in all the flowers
Are none but like Salah al-Din among the people
٢. أَقسَمتُ ما الوَردُ في الأَزهارِ قاطِبَةً
إِلّا كَمِثلِ صَلاحِ الدينِ في الناسِ
3. He who inherited glory from his fathers eternally
As the caliphate among the Abbasid sons
٣. الوارِثِ المَجدَ عَن آبائِهِ أَبَداً
مِثلَ الخِلافَةِ في أَولادِ عَبّاسِ
