May you and Shams al-Din remain, for glory and exalted rank,

May you and Shams al-Din endure for glory and high honor,

both mighty, so long as a songbird alights in the arak tree.

تغمَّدهُ عفوٌ من اللهِ واسعُ

For he who kept you both alive and nurtured you has not died.

For he who left you both behind and reared you both has not died;

May a vast pardon from God enfold him—

may boundless pardon from God enfold him.

فما زال اِذ جلَّتهُ عنَّا القواشِعُ

Copiously raining clouds—your two rain-bringers, your two abiding supports—are his bounty,

A cloud that poured down rain, its bounty enduring—

which has never ceased since the cleaving blades carried him away from us.

so it did not vanish even when the cloud-dispersing winds swept it away from us.

فانْ يصطبرْ فالصبر منه سجيَّةٌ

اذا انحطمت في الدارعين الشوارع

And if he patiently endures, patience is his innate disposition,

So if he endures patiently, patience is his nature,

when thrusting lances splinter among the mail-clad warriors.

when leveled spears shatter against men in armor.
