1. Your presence was accompanied by conquering armies
That capture kings or demolish thrones

2. And it settled as a place of rest amidst them and dwellings
Forever to grant it success and feathering

3. It exhausted both prose and poetry
With what existence was fermenting as armies

4. So its emergence in every era is a sign
Engraved while the enemies hid engravings

5. So how many distinguished or vile were led
By his pigeons forcefully flocking to you

6. And how many mountains in an open space were made
Like carded wool, scattered by the blowing wind

7. You are the supported among the imams in resolve
Like a hot branding iron and a burning heart

8. The days found through you what they sought so you did not
Inflict them with any burden or investigation

9. O call to guidance whose place is engraved
While the constructed edifice remains engraved

10. Through al-Murtada, Yahya its pride was affirmed
What appeared with a cheerful face in times obscure

11. It made the blind see and made the deaf
Whose hearing was impaired hear even faint sounds

12. A king who assumed his throne while the planets are below him
A house built above their orbits furnished

13. Destiny ordained to protect his wishes for him
Subjugated to fate and timid

14. It does not fear, though he is blessed, an inauspicious years
A year of scarcity for vegetation dry

15. What is between views revolving and a flag
We found him a confederate for the casting of lots sincere

16. He distanced the henchmen to the wilderness, approaching
And saw the desires of the stunted, malformed

17. Through his good fortunes the weeping becomes elated
And through his blessings the happy becomes feathered

18. His troops left the buildings a ruin
The Najd desolate, and the mountains bare

19. From every feared despot he is avoided
His courage meets the coward like a moth-eaten rag

20. The horse's soft neck preferred its saddle
It did not prefer the mule's itchy coat a perch

21. The most high brought him to rule over turmoil
A blow to pierce itsstab of calumny perforated

22. So none faults his life and feathering
He who frequented the emptiness sees it inhabited

23. And if his palm was bent in receiving
It assumed the path of the crooked winding

24. And he traces with the line what the unsteady hand does not claim
Nor the etching, the pattern, and the scraping

25. For God, Hims and its good fortune happily
Guided Syria towards it and its outskirts

26. The palace assisted it as a street sweeper
That its shelter's downpour may surge and flood

27. It affirmed the imam of justice abdicating to him
He who corrupted and ruined

28. And the scale inclined in passionate love to him
To make him a refuge and take him under its wing

29. The abode of peace called for the stability of his rule
Not pleasure it knew, or vanity

30. And it held fast to his rope, loving him
Disheveled, not seeking to be combed or groomed

31. Trusting that all its affairs will live
In the shade of branches, and find life
