1. I got to know the physicians of the time, so of
The finest physicians of the time was Nathif.

2. The vizier chose him, for he
Was well-versed with the capable men, highbred.

3. He took on the new role, and he for such roles,
And even greater in the land, is adequate.

4. Of science, O Nathif, an honest profession
For your people you care for, and you are wellbred.

5. Your lofty knowledge, you have it gathered,
And they in the king’s domains under you are thousands.

6. They praise you for your merit which is sacred,
And they cherish your affection which is gentle.

7. And you have attained with ethics what cannot be attained
By the despot of the lance who is violent.

8. You treat illness with medicine, and sometimes
You treat with kindness which has diverse ways.

9. The town’s children you will fill with health,
And you among it are, eyes brimming, roving about.

10. So two days do not pass without its façades
For each resident furnished and breezy.

11. And you do not have a meal unless from every nation
In it lodgers who adore it and are guests.

12. And that you protect it when war rumbles,
And crises revolve around it with changes.
