May a festival bring you joy! If its auspicious stars conferred,
May you have a joyous feast if you confide in Sa'udah
They would choose no rising-place but your sky.
When I proposed nothing but your sky as a refuge

فضحِّ بمنْ ماطلتُه عدَّة الردى
فماfor ... not اكتنّlay hidden صدرthe forepart of السيفthe sword إلاexcept ليقطعاso that it might cut
فما اكتنّ صدر السيف إلا ليقطعا
So sacrifice the one whose promised death I have deferred;
Expose whom I deceived for so long
For the sword’s blade lay hidden only to cut.
For the sword's chest was made to nothing but cut
