1. My ailment disabled me, so I became a chief,
Surpassing Hippocrates and Thales in medicine.

2. I sought the cornerstone of rule, my master,
I, son of those who founded guidance on establishment.

3. And I regained the glory of the absent one who revived
The West with a quarter of right guidance and wisdom.

4. And I treasured the hoard of wealth, the spring of the bleary-eyed,
The sea of dew, Idris.

5. The sun of our salvation - thus some of his years
Obliterated all that required abasement.

6. The branch of God's servant and the two grandsons,
And the successor shone their years like suns.

7. And the virgin daughter of the Messenger of God,
Allah's prayers be upon him, watered its summit with cups.

8. Do not blame us for seeking it, we
Only sought through it the caliph of Jesus.

9. He before whom hands and heads bow down
When they walk on his land covered with skulls and heads.

10. Our delegation hastened to you, my master,
My master of generosity, kissing hands.

11. Through your son, our neighbor, the content Idris,
Help us perform good and bad deeds.

12. And turn from us fraud and deception,
That we may not see terrible torment.

13. And let us benefit from gifts abundantly
So we overflow with the outpouring of his dictionary.

14. Give us the wine of wealth so that
We do not fear poverty and bankruptcy.

15. And feed us sweet, desired food
That excels both quantity and quality.

16. And quench us from cups of your righteousness, and dress
Us in the fabric of contentment.

17. And water the heat of grief with your clouds, a watering
That left no burning in our hearts.

18. Do not waste a step we took to your abode,
The clearing of sublime old age and misfortune.

19. We saw glory flourishing through it,
And we saw majesty dwelling in it.

20. And greetings from your servant, the son of Zakour,
Upon the tomb that remains inhabited.

21. Its scent is perfumed, like the scent of your tomb,
However much glory the place of your rest contains, O groom.

22. And prayers upon Abu Al-Qasim the Elect,
Whom you sanctified above all people.

23. The most precious of all creation, through whom,
O pearl of the pure, you were precious.
