1. أَسْعَدَ اللهُ بِالْمَسِيرِ وَأَعْطى

    فِيهِ عَزْمَ الْوَزِيرِ نَجْحاً وَنَصْرا

    May God grant good fortune on the journey, and grant

    the minister’s resolve success and victory therein.

  2. وَحَباهُ الْمُرادَ فِيهِ وَأَسْنى

    مِنْهُ ذِكراً يَبْقى وَأَعْلاهُ قَدْرا

    And bestow on him his desire therein, and magnify

    the lasting renown it brings, and raise him in rank.

  3. غَيْرُ نُكرٍ أَنْ تُدْرِكَ الْحَظَّ فِيهِ

    كَمْ هِلالٍ قَدْ عادَ بِالسَّيْرِ بَدْرا

    It is no wonder that you attain good fortune therein:

    How many a crescent has become a full moon through travel!
