1. I have realized the hopes of the Law in vengeance
And left the rhythms of their groups scattered

2. And I checked their violent attacks short of the goal
After they sought to gain more ground

3. And I made their resolutions submit to your resolutions
That sufficed instead of swords to be girded

4. And their armies' seas were fragmented
When your army's turbulent sea came to them

5. They threw down the sharp swords
With which they uproot the near and the far

6. And they surrendered when they did not see under the ground
A way out or above the ground an ascent

7. The world has not brought forth one like you, supporting
The religion, triumphant over the banners of vengeance

8. Highest of kings in power and most impregnable in protection
Broadest in clemency and farthest in reach

9. He brought justice and generosity to the world so it transgressed
This was their shade and this their watering place

10. Generosity was not what had been in the nature of life
But it saw the gifts in him so it emulated

11. The star, had it not traveled on the wings of darkness
And seen a guide in his guidance, would not have found its way

12. Whenever eyes faced his forehead
They thought it a burning torch

13. Eyes were not sated by his brilliance
Save to return to him complaining of dazzle

14. His glorious raiment was stripped from him so he took
Bearing from it the finest of clothes

15. Islam will never lack from you protection
And care and preservation and vigilance

16. And your Lord sees you as sufficient for your sons
To watch over the weak and gather the scattered

17. Joy in them was perfected and fulfilled, and a divine
Grace enveloped them, singling out Muhammad

18. Congratulations to the Commander of the Faithful for stars
From which the auspicious risings can be divined

19. And God distinguished you with perfection and willed that
Your command should endure for all time

20. A vision of your most high command in its glory
Judging and its long survival made new

21. He became a beloved, like his name, when he came
To me in my sleep, supporting me in your praise

22. He enjoined me, so I stood, not failing
To carry out a behest from him, enriched by a gift
