1. A crescent, but his dwellings are the lands of Saudi
A river, but the seas are his streams

2. He started shining so the hopeful were illuminated by his light
For his pure spring they have sources

3. He will return a full moon that will not be feared to set
And he will return a sea which shores are not known

4. He went beyond and the success of God was his guide
To the house of might which his early days built

5. And he proved true the words of the describers, for if
They describe him, his attributes prove them right

6. And if the envious conceal some of his merits
And descriptions, their camps grow over them

7. That his throne was almost seen amidst the carpet
And that his asker was almost seen in the threshold of the door

8. And that his books are read in the east and west of earth
And his messages and envoys reach it

9. I only said what the envious agree upon
And for him, the evidence has been proven right

10. So glad tidings O Master of people, of one coming
To the highest summit, his stages folded

11. He came generous, kind companion, so the heights
Accompany him and gifts match him

12. God has decreed that he remains and remains, and he decreed
To say: I say and He does

13. And you are a master whose desire is not rejected
And I am a slave whose means are not rejected

14. I called with what was before His book
And I was certain that God undoubtedly said it

15. You will attain from Him all that you want
And my soul will attain from you both what it aspires

16. I am but a sun-basker and you are its shade
I am but barren land and you are its rain

17. And existence is but a servant you are its lord
And creation is but a world you are its supreme
