1. يا سَيِداً قَد حَكى تثبتُه

    كيوان وَالبَأس مِنهُ بَهراما

    O master, whose steadiness has mirrored

    Saturn, and whose valor has mirrored Mars;

  2. وَالشَمس وَالبَدر وَجهه

    وَحكاه المُشتَري قائِماً صواما

    And whose face has mirrored the sun and the full moon;

    And whom Jupiter has mirrored, standing in prayer and often fasting.

  3. فَما يُساميه في العُلى أَحَد

    وَهُوَ يُسامي النُجوم إِن ساما

    So no one rivals him in eminence,

    And he rivals the stars whenever he aspires.

  4. لا زلت لي موئلا أردُّ بِهِ

    عَني صُروف الزَمان إِن ضاما

    May you always remain my refuge, through whom I ward off

    Time’s vicissitudes from me, should it deal unjustly.

  5. أَلقاه في كُلِ حاجة عَرَضت

    سَمحاً مُريع الجَناب منعاما

    For every need that arises, I find him

    Generous, his domain fertile, lavish in giving.
