1. Why does the blamer blame, ignorant one,
When our camels' saddles are worn by travel?

2. The sword creates its own disaster,
And rushes headlong into peril.

3. Long-necked she-camels came to you
With ambitions that cannot be counted.

4. They came to glory after being despised,
We tarried but little, little.

5. The shoulders grew weary after intention,
Their saddles slipping and the bindings loosening.

6. Peace of God be upon you, O tall mountains,
If you are worn out as we are worn out.

7. The living man on the day (he was killed) twisted his neck
Yes, they became manifest, but thirst was not quenched.

8. May you not bid us farewell sullenly during nights
So that you make us despair or refuse to share water.

9. It is as if when you push Salma away,
She is a loving woman when you remember her.

10. We mentioned what you forgot the morning after the battle,
And he whose breast was rent may be overjoyed.

11. I blame the one whom your blame does not awaken
And the severing of the sincere advisor is the worst.

12. Suleiman the Blessed, you have known
He is the rightly guided one, the path is clear.

13. You have saved every soul from injustice
And fulfilled what the Messenger entrusted.

14. A pledged allegiance clings to you with steadfastness,
So the balance of justice leans to neither side.

15. Is there no recourse for the Caliph among us?
For most have become cowards at night.

16. The widows and orphans call upon you,
And those who have fallen into dire poverty.

17. The she-camels complain to you of exhaustion,
Nothing is difficult or humiliating for them.

18. Most of their provisions are rags,
Frayed skins and worn nerves.

19. The oppressed call upon you after hardship
And suffering which has burdened them with anxiety.

20. There are still sucklings attached to a wet nurse
Or a man with bloody intestines.

21. You have relieved their anxiety and suffering
So the people and the changed land live again.

22. When you are generous, you are the people's spring
And the most noble lineage.

23. You scorn hardship for every guest
When the year is plentiful.

24. You surpassed every hilltop and branch,
While others are recluses and uncouth.

25. You have a branch that branched from every branch
And a superiority that no superiors can equal.

26. Your loftiness has lasted and become pleasant,
So the most general and special leadership was good for you.

27. Firm mountains pass away in every horizon,
But your glory does not waver or pass away.
