1. May God strengthen the hand of the most fortunate minister
With continual prosperity and bounty

2. He does not consider luxury and pride anything
Other than relieving the anguish of the destitute

3. The commoners are God's trusts with
Kings and rulers

4. And the rule of kings has always been better
Than the misguidance of ignorant commoners

5. Indeed, the turmoil of commoners brings
Ruin, affliction, while rule brings life

6. They have long likened the king to a body
And the minister to a healer of ills

7. And so too the military like natures within him
Always, and the elite like limbs

8. Each type of rabble like an imbalance
Which, if it exceeds, he cures with remedy

9. And their equilibrium, balance of temperament
Like the equilibrium of yellow and black bile

10. And adherence to limits by people means
What is said of wolves among sheep

11. Every sin of the times we forgave
Except the rule of the foolish mob

12. May God aid his victory, from a minister
Who lets down the curtain, revealing affliction

13. And erased the name of disobedience and insolence, for the elite
The abode of the righteous and the pure

14. Indeed, the clouds of misfortunes cleared from us
With the suns of wisdom and opinion

15. He unsheathed a sword from the scabbard of dignified forbearance
Whose bluntness was consumed by the foolishness of fools

16. And he threw them from it with the resolve of truth
Which overwhelmed them in a pitch-black night

17. So God erased the sign of night, though
With the rays of the sword, not the intellect

18. God gave tidings of destruction to a people
Who dealt with others with harm and aloofness

19. In the delusion of some of them, they did not protect
The sanctity of the honorable Law

20. How wretched is the pious man who was robbed
By the state of ignorance, anguish of the devout

21. They feared before their day, so they lived
In fear of destruction before supper

22. And by a wind that nearly brought down the foundations
And admonished them by demolishing buildings

23. No benefit comes to the foolish from advice
Except the benefit bats get from light

24. I addressed them with the eloquence of the sword when
They turned away from the rhetoric of the eloquent

25. With the deceit of the sword they received a reward
For the conceit with horses and horsemen

26. Where is this hiding after appearing?
Where is that appearing after hiding?

27. An event whose mention on earth remains
For the children to learn from the fathers

28. After presenting praise, the prayer comes
He established limits for justice as guidance

29. And banished misfortune, the most fortunate minister
