1. Your status, O Abu Hafs, is sublime
And your worth is beyond what stars can climb

2. How could it not, for you are the ransomed man
And you, Majid, are the noble, called upon

3. O son of the most honorable parents
O lone possessor of beauty in the lands

4. Your pride cannot be fathomed by the ignoble
O you whose glory has spread far and wide

5. Your feats are not sought by those who seek
O lord of generosity and grace

6. Praising you makes verse sweet to compose
Abu Hafs, unique in his time for intellect

7. And manners, his views ever straight
Abu Hafs, peerless in generosity

8. And conduct, his mind is sound and sedate
Abu Hafs excelled in perfection

9. Like a full moon revealed from behind clouds
Abu Hafs, if he wills something

10. He attains all he seeks
Abu Hafs, his pen is eloquent

11. Adorning sheets with pearls in rows
Like a robe of the horizon, studded with stars

12. Abu Hafs, his thoughts, whenever
Puzzled, are filled with insight

13. Abu Hafs, generous in lands
Where few can be called generous
