1. A conquest whose conquest extends through the eras
The misguided factions submitted to it, necks bent

2. And the guardian felt fear of it
It came upon them, going and coming

3. And it made what was left of their life, now pure
Turbid, and bitterness therein sweetened

4. Wednesday belongs to God, for on it
He brought souls to life and fulfilled hopes

5. The era was ennobled that you would be a father to it
What protection and shelter!

6. Your rule encompassed supporter and opponent
With mercy in every land, and punishment

7. And it enabled the son of Isaac to place
Humiliation on his snout, his talk traversing the eras

8. Misfortune ambitiously sought the people of Qafsah and climbed
With them the steep and harsh heights

9. And their obstinacy before refused them
That they see the punishment, turning and repenting

10. It did not avail them when there came upon them from on high
To guard the walls and doors

11. Their appointed times sought them below the soil and above it
So they tossed about distractedly

12. The rage of the Caliph struck them after
Ruin called for their souls and terrified them

13. Clear signs of victory, all
Astonished the intellects with what they brought

14. And a wondrous happiness that subdues the strength of enemies
Gently and breaks their determination

15. It singled out a rightly-guided Imam for the wilderness
Pious, God-fearing, humble and well-behaved

16. A king on whom there is a royal anointing
The era put on its beauty like a cloak

17. They shone joyfully before sights like the beauty of Joseph
And David illuminates the prayer niche through it

18. Praising the Imam is an act of worship through which we hope
For the honor of life and to attain salvation

19. Our minds have not travelled in praising him
Except that the palaces were a returning place for it

20. He who does not see the rightness of his position
Does not know the rightness of his position or its full extent
