1. I bestow upon you the praise of Arabs and non-Arabs
A generosity purer than blood and tears

2. And your generosity was seen by hopes, so they rushed
To ambitions, high in decree and determination

3. His command stopped the harm of his enemies, bringing him joy
So he attained what he wanted from them, and did not desire more

4. The future of life has returned with time
To youth, even having fulfilled old age

5. No wonder that others are called king
For the unknown does not mix with the flag

6. Closeness in words is not given heed
Oh how far between the meaning of confusion and confusion

7. Simple and generous is Abu Ya'qub, so
The kings acknowledged his might and generosity

8. The knights and writers are left confused
Whether by the sword or if writing with the pen

9. Strange, no era has seen its like
And a rarity not seen by the eye even in a dream

10. The most faithful and sufficient of kings for a quandary
That frustrates the sufficient and guides them to morsels

11. And people in character are similar when looked upon
But only differed in trait and quality

12. He built a tower on piety, looked upon
By the blossoms of planets and the orbits of nations

13. And destroyed what was built on unsafe, ruined
Cliffs and did not build from piety on a foundation
