1. Honor excellence in its spacious abode
And revere it in its fertile time

2. And remember the man of generosity among us
Whose hands were inspired and whose heart was enlightened

3. The poet of the state, zealous for the state
In private and in public

4. And remember his justice and kindness
In the authority he approved and in his sultanate

5. And good qualities pleasing to the perfect master
In his house and in his office

6. And the loyalty of companionship that lost companionship
So the generous one was in his sorrows

7. With eyelids that concealed their weeping
And a heart that held its pain

8. He almost abandoned the world from intense grief
Were it not for the solace of his faith

9. It was as if the grief in every soul
Came from his own sorrow and anguish

10. His patience with misfortunes did not waver
Due to his affection and tenderness for them

11. Honor the family that bore him
With knowledge in his majesty and eloquence

12. And what he attained from the righteous king
Is the reward of beneficence from His approval

13. The title he deserved through his knowledge
Protected by zeal and commitment

14. Poetry was ennobled under his protection
With poets ranked among the elite

15. The glory of genius is to find
A peer like the precious one among his comrades

16. When a king rules the land
Poetry becomes one of his pillars

17. It has the king's esteem like rubies
And sapphires in the crown's heights

18. The greatest conquerors who opened lands
Did so with their minds and tongues

19. O companions of the precious one in his conduct
And comrades of the precious one in his domain

20. My kinship to the minister brought you together
In well-known harmony built from its foundation

21. And you came to him, faithful to the covenants
At his feast and ceremony

22. From your gardens he came to take
As you take from his garden

23. You have from his words what you desired
And whatever you desired of his companions

24. You have an eloquent Qays and Bu Naym
The innovations of his creation and fascination

25. He sent the lovers after ruin
Among the legends of his art and reality

26. And restored the life of Abbasa
Between his thought and composition

27. A masterpiece of eternal splendor
From his manuscripts and melodies

28. Like the memory that revived the dead
In new garb from their shroud

29. O beloved of the valley, your time is now
In the valley's peace and tranquility

30. Today it found its people, and in you
The cultured stranger met his homeland

31. And rose among the stars after obscurity
Unknown in his knowledge

32. You are the poet of the age, it acknowledges
From its elders and youth

33. And I am the loyal one who does all he can
To please you, within his capacity
