1. With kindness you mended the hearts broken and crushed, O best mender!
And mending them is not attained with worthless trinkets.

2. But by dispelling the gloomy darkness of injustice that prevailed.
You remedied the people's negligence and lack of care.

3. And how numerous are your penetrating insights!
Thus you leveled the ranks of the virtuous,

4. So they, from the carpet of justice, are atop the thrones.
You brought a mighty measure by which the souls rejoiced,

5. Every devout worshipper from all mankind.
Were Nu'man to swear by it, he would swear a solemn oath,

6. And I am no revoker of that oath.
Milk flowed from Ahmad's breast, and by it was satiated

7. A Hanafi in brotherly affection and a Maliki.
By what the Merciful has imparted in him, and what is seen

8. In our lord Pasha of participation with him.
May the Master perpetuate for us the felicity of his grandfather

9. With a dignified and cheerful face, smiling Basim of the frontier!
And may his days be narrated, the authentic tale of them,

10. Of glory, of support coming to his aid.
