1. Rain, O clouds of bounty, as much as you wish,

    And pour over the hills and hollows.

  2. And leave every unadorned man with his breast adorned,

    His eyes at peace in every valley.

  3. You will adorn no neck worthier than Mutran's,

    Nor any breast more deserving of attention than his.

  4. A pen from which truths issue,

    Adorned in the fairest cloaks;

  5. And a tongue guided at evening by a mind

    Great in understanding, great in purpose.

  6. Go on, Abbas! Blaze a new path

    Each day to the summits of glory.

  7. And choose for good fortune men like Mutran,

    Who, among all mankind, most deserves to be made happy.

  8. And grant them, from what noble deeds fashion,

    Favors upon their necks, never held over them.

  9. May God bless you; for the kingdom, as long as you live,

    Is lofty in its summits, lofty in its pillars.

Sol 6.1
