1. He revived it after Allah when he revived it
A ghost that dissipates worries from it, making it disappear

2. He sent peace upon the heights of his land
Oh how excellent is the guided one and the one who guided him

3. He guided him, more dexterous than the gazelles of Tihama
Like the gazelle watching the gazelles, spying on them

4. My glances were exhausted, though they only
Glanced at the eyes, their feasting consumed them

5. It transmits without any sickness of its eyelids harming it
And the sword cannot hurt its sharp edge

6. What is life without residing in a garden
Whose streams add to its streams?

7. The breeze makes the rosebay willowherbs flutter in it
As the mouths whisper to each other

8. My soul is sacrificed for him during his absence
Forever, and who do I have that I can sacrifice for him?

9. I entrust Allah with the Hejaz and its people
And He quenched them with the torrent of life and quenched it (the land)

10. I yearn for the Hejaz, its meadows and streams
And its plains, mountains and landmarks

11. So Allah watered its valleys, saddles, meadows,
Plateaus, lowlands, and hills

12. With rain that blankets the wilderness and makes
The view of its land equal to its sky

13. Like the generosity of Judayd ibn ‘Imran
Whose glory and eminence dazzled all people

14. The noble one recalls the generosity of Abu ‘Ali
The distinguished one sees it in his attributes

15. Like the right hand of ‘Abbas Abu Al-Hasan whose
Glory and eminence dazzled all people

16. Time smiled and it was through ‘Abbas for us
With the bestowment of ‘Abbas and his excellent praise

17. A king who acknowledges with his grace, generosity,
And justice his companions and enemies

18. A mountain for all people in leadership, and I do not see
Two men differing regarding his supremacy

19. The Merciful molded him from nobility, so if
A miser’s palm touched him, it would enrich him

20. Yemen in his prosperity, see how
His conditions turned favorable, and ease in his comfort

21. He governed the great regions with his palm,
A pen that foils the thorns of calamities

22. He reveals a serene forehead for the wretched whose
Tears flowed from it in streams

23. And he gives good tidings with his serene forehead
Of success to the prosperous before misfortune reaches them

24. His soul calls him to generosity whenever
It calls him, alive with dew, yearning for him

25. He knows the generous one when he mounts his saddle
That the poor man needs the girth other than him

26. So it is as if for his firmness in his manner
A limb enabled over its plateau steadied him

27. He does not gain supremacy except with gazelles
When the chests of their necks bow down

28. So the seasoned white swords - their tongues have no
Eloquence except the skulls and the necks are their lips

29. Resolute, if you seek resolution
From every honed blade, it will make you self-sufficient

30. O you who criticizes him for his charity
As if the clouds are miserly to water it

31. Would you blame him for generosity when it is his nature
To nurse since infancy and after nursing, he fed it?

32. So if a critic prohibits him from his charity
He does not prevent him, as if enticing him

33. His grace cannot be described, even if
All the servants altogether moved their lips

34. He has certainly perfected everything so
Allah has protected him from the evil eye of perfection

35. The resolve of Khaydar and the might of Muhammad
Are in him, no parents transcend them

36. A lineage whose title is evident in his face
If an illiterate sees him, he would recognize him

37. You resemble your grandfather Ahmad in supremacy
The noble ones in elevation are similar

38. Generosity was distributed so all people
In their entirety flowed from his name, and you encompassed its meaning

39. So whoever claims, after the Prophet and his progeny,
The qualities of excellence, his claim is belied

40. If kindness begot an offspring, you would be his son
Or if he was born, you would be his father

41. You are spring, and how can a place live
Other than by spring, so what revived it?

42. Whoever’s conduct is like the son of Imamate
Success and victory will envelop him

43. A sword that has a blade in the edge of his face
A face that if all faces sought refuge, they would resort to it

44. He did not say “no” since he existed except his saying
“There is no god but He” at the time of testification

45. And I had decided on departure, so if the fulfillment
Of his guardian’s order willed it, he would fulfill it

46. And indeed I knew that my death to him
Is a jest that transcends life next to others

47. But winter has come and next to him are
Those whose home Tihama will be

48. Oh you, the king whom I did not live
A foot away from my people’s land but for him

49. Is it permissible for me to complain of straitened livelihood
While wealth is humiliated next to you and prestige?

50. One who does as he wills with his opinion
And his hand, not by the hand of another

51. And likewise the lion’s claws in another’s hand
Roar and the cares freely range in its prosperity

52. A pen whose nature death and demise
In it is its poison and its remedy

53. The protector of alliances in his protection, for as long as
Whoever befriended him lived

54. Oh you who the pressing blames for moisture
While the drawn one, most generous not to hoard its outpour

55. A king, if we judge him or judge by him
The wonders of his grace say far be it

56. Prosperity sprouts from him resembling a people
Who have the highest, loftiest lineage

57. Whoever, when ease passes, gains property
With his palm that spent it seeking its channels
