1. Good tidings, for victory has come to us,
And the star of victory has adorned us.

2. Good fortune has risen in an auspicious ascendant,
Above the heavens of glory it has enriched us.

3. The sphere of glory now revolves,
With the stars of pride as it once was.

4. And victory, its star now shines,
Adorned by good fortune it is bejeweled.

5. The Sublime King, his value now,
Above the Pleiades a star of Kaiwan.

6. Pride of the world, dawn of guidance, shining light,
By it the family of Othman is illuminated.

7. The darkness of the people of tyranny vanished by it,
It is none other than the sun of our world.

8. Crown of kings, the hunt, of lofty ambition,
Nobler than mounts Tha’laban.

9. Master of munificence, my patron of wealth that,
Exhausts the pen to count.

10. Of comfort more verdant than the sea, when
For pilgrims it sprouted Ukian trees.

11. He veils the newcomer, longing to grant favour,
Even if it be the dearest souls.

12. So the pilgrims’ Kaaba became his house,
Where for praise he erected the pillars.

13. For those arriving, generosity from his palm,
More copious than Jayhoon and Jayhan rivers.

14. Pillar of the noble folk, pillar of the exalted,
Best of people in doing good.

15. The valiant warrior in times of meeting,
And in battle he remains a piercing spear.

16. To every tyrant, awe, he did not cower,
And every despot to him has submitted.

17. Imagining he dispersed the enemies,
As though he were Solomon’s flock of jinn.

18. He did not cease, since he reddened his swords,
And the blades tasted flesh.

19. Do you not see the warriors in the battle of
The Confederates, how many horsemen they felled?

20. When Basra the radiant was stricken with drought,
And valorous ones were rulers there.

21. He wanted to move his armies,
From it to the borders of Baghdad.

22. So drought may alleviate from it, and so
Inhabitants may enjoy his kindness.

23. He marched with the army from its territory,
Making Hilla their place of abode.

24. Wherever he camped in its environs,
Above the villages it gained prominence.

25. The people felt safe with his increase,
When secured from injustice and transgression.

26. But in Baghdad, when this spread,
The corrupt gained sorrow.

27. They gathered around a king of theirs,
And committed betrayal and disbelief.

28. From all quarters, hardhearted, stripped
Of the garb of justice, naked.

29. His mind still ravenous,
From massive feasting, satiated.

30. They rushed like desert donkeys in their recklessness,
And chaos permeated the gathering at times.

31. They agreed the king of the world,
Has rebelled against the state in disobedience.

32. And he has inclined towards betraying us,
And he came to gyp us.

33. So at that, their Mufti resolved,
To battle him in ignorance and humiliation.

34. He prepared the army of injustice against them,
Assembling Persians and Arabs.

35. And they attempted to reach,
The Mard of the age, Solomon.

36. But they failed when they witnessed,
His expertise in war’s mill.

37. For he stood like an unassailable fortress,
His cubs the horsemen surrounding him.

38. He unsheathed the white from his eyelid,
And held the dark brown spear.

39. He stormed into battle like a lion, if
He met a pack of hyenas.

40. The battle raged until the sky,
Became like the darkness of smoke for him.

41. He did not stop felling their champions,
Heroes and equals with his Indian blade.

42. Until when he met a troop of theirs,
They retreated saying he is a Jinn.

43. He scattered them by the hands of captors in retreat,
Having seen an eagle and traveler birds.

44. Woe to them, twenty thousand to them,
While the warriors’ army two thousand.

45. So how did some of them flee in escape,
While others wrapped in shrouds?

46. Congratulations O valor, this then is a blessing,
Above the world those masters of ours.

47. For victory singled you out above the world,
And destiny adorned your times.

48. You gained victory by might, and in the battle of
The Confederates, so pride yourself in what was.

49. Where you have the Chosen as an example,
A praiseworthy one you gained glory by.

50. Since Al-Khumar got news of it,
He gave you Baghdad in compassion.

51. When he saw you valiant, experienced,
Felling the enemies, horsemen and Arabs.

52. This aid, a rescuer, the scream of a brother
Of generosity, Hasan and Hussein.

53. After hardship he attained the sweet sublime,
And enjoyed rest fatigued.

54. As sleep is savored after fatigue,
So the wakeful one closed his eyelids.

55. Thanks to You O Lord, hardship passed
By him and what had caused anguish.

56. And Baghdad rejoiced when he entered it,
So it prided over cities and towns.

57. It only attained joy after you,
Branches do not please without you.

58. Its strength weakened during this intent,
Until it came with illness as proof.

59. By your absence the minaret of guidance,
Was hidden so does not obey elucidation.

60. And since you have now entered its expanse,
The lights appeared openly.

61. May God not make desolate its meadows,
Without you or its inhabitants.

62. Do not depart seeking glory,
And for praise and eulogy it is home.

63. My patron, they have submitted fearful morning,
In trepidation and all to you have surrendered.

64. Grant that they did evil, so treat them well,
For God’s sake they are that generosity.

65. You determined, and pardon is the want of the hopeful,
For it is of the traits of our patron.

66. And overlook their hatred with the edge of forbearance,
And grant them pardon and forgiveness.

67. For praise to God they have become exemplary,
Sufficed by humiliation and loss.

68. You have not ceased being for us a just ruler,
And you remain compassionate to the disobedient.

69. Good tidings to us the Zuwairas, when
Our mighty victorious one has come to us.

70. After hardship with others, God made us happy through him,
When the rule of rogues vanished by him.

71. And the sign of fortune dated,
The kingdom, Solomon it has become.
