1. Your good fortune refuted what the astrologer claimed
And belied him regarding what he alleged

2. He gives glad tidings of barren winds, yet as he said
About what he said, with you they are unfruitful

3. And he swears the matter is bound to happen
Yet with the matter you have betrayed him when he swears

4. Your existence is security for existence from one
Who talks of wind or by whom the stars rule

5. And it is said the judgments of stars are upon mankind
Yet you rule over their judgments

6. And it has not ceased to love that it wishes
To call out madly to you or kiss you passionately

7. You are the one to whom it hints from afar in its skies
So you understand it from a distance

8. And for your enemy a scorpion stings it
And for your rival a snake lies in wait

9. And it bends its bows for you, those constellations
So it shoots your enemies with them and its meteors are arrows

10. And if you wished, the sun would be but a gold coin for you
And the moon a silver dirham for you

11. And they are joined only to string verses together
You who taught us how to string verses together

12. We congratulate you on the blessed month of Rajab
Revered in us is its name and it is glorified

13. And with the exoneration after the good tidings
For your body is exoneration after which no illness remains

14. And we testify the month is a blessed month
Upon you and the exoneration is a complete exoneration

15. And you are crowned by it with the new crescent
And you are sealed by it with the Pleiades

16. And in both states you rise and climb high
And in both states you remain and are protected

17. And when in adversity you are feared and revered
And when in ease you give and bestow favors

18. So the divine decree does not undo what you decide
Nor does the divine decree undo what you decree

19. The glories of time wear out roaming
And your kingdom after time remains pitched

20. And the scroll of the earth is folded before its folding
And the world crumbles though it is not crumbled

21. So away with the worshippers of stars! Do they not know
That you are strongest among people and most upright

22. And they did not serve the orbits except that they
Move by your command or serve by your order

23. The kings of earth wanted your good fortune and coveted
Learning it, though good fortune cannot be learned

24. You possessed the realms of kings, and you only
Stayed up while the realms of kings you lulled to sleep

25. The realms sincerely submitted to them, but they only
Submitted to your army what they submitted

26. You rose upon them at dawn from the thickets
Surrounded by a night of intense darkness

27. So the dawn of the warners was miserable, because it is
A dawn in which the blades of the keen tongues shine

28. And an army in which the lions of battle are enraged
Or if you wish, the eagles of death are resolute

29. They shrink from war spoils in the fray
For they have no spoils but the horsemen as booty

30. When they fight they are silently valiant
Though their mounts in the hills prattle on

31. With their courage they attained life, and sometimes
Boldness delays the lifespans of men

32. You are the one who refined them, so they became refined
You are the one who made them understand, so they understood

33. And on the day of battle they surged forth through you
And through you their enemies recoiled on the day of battle

34. You struck a heedless and ignorant people with them
So none sleeps but your blood awakens him

35. You have raided the lands of unbelief, so your steed wanders
Snorting when it comes to them

36. Whenever a rebel disobeys you, with its hoof
What is between his eyes is a fit place to brand

37. The heroes are led to you before meeting them
For they are blinded by the rays of your army

38. And their fortresses do not protect the unbelievers from you
And nothing but you protects after God

39. You launched raids until even its vegetation
And grass turned red from the red blood

40. So how many a Friday congregation was held
With it, its worshippers bloody all over

41. And how many a pledge of allegiance was made, though it was a mosque
And how many an unbeliever became a Muslim in it

42. Every place in which you are is blessed
And in every day in which you are is a feast and season

43. The regions differ regarding you, so one
Cries for your absence or smiles for your nearness

44. Without doubt the homelands are like their inhabitants
In time, as it is said, suffering or comfortable

45. The Nile competes with you through different people zealously
And Lebanon envies you, O Shredded Mountain

46. Egypt did not cease being more deserving of Joseph
Than Syria, but fortunes are partitioned

47. Sometimes an ugly one is not loved, and his opposite
Is kissed on the eye, cheek, and mouth

48. He is the grandfather, so take him if you want him with perfect faith
And do not seek reasons, for the matter is ambiguous

49. With Egypt, how I pine and yearn for youth
We both occupied with loved ones enamored

50. A veiled beloved envied my heart
And a robed beloved judged me to be killed

51. None kills me but grace and tenderness
And none plunders me but a bracelet and anklet

52. I stay up for a cheek whose Lord does not stay up for me
And I pity a waist whose Lord does not pity

53. So O supporter of the faith by whose sword
And its drawer the athirst are solaced

54. To praise you I postponed the lineage of nobility
And with them the lineage of nobility comes first
