Poem in Praise of Men by Al-Farazdaq
And when men see Yazid, they lower their necks,
Subdued are the gazes from the eyes.
Darkness does not conceal his face,
And every soul finds its resolution through him.
Yazid, indeed, you are among the best of creation.
No man’s hands are more deserving of such a title,
Than those who perform great deeds amid dangers.
Two arms of Yazid kindle his fire,
One is his greatest ally in kindness.
If weighed against the patience of his virtue,
They would outweigh all other settlements.
Indeed, you have returned as the champion,
From the depths of despair to hopes unmeasured.
You left behind fear as you embraced wisdom,
So that the Nabatites might rely on you.
As for Iraq, it was once left to despair,
Until you restored it to purity and renewal.
You unified the scattered ranks of your army,
And rebuilt its crumbling foundations.
Let history judge your great deeds,
And may generations remember the one
Who left behind bountiful blessings in their wake.
Poem “Glory to Him Who Created Men” by Mohammed al-Jawahiri
O companions, to a homeland lost in time,
Whose character has waned and deserted.
When the chaos surged toward desire,
Monkeys clapped through the treetops.
The goodness nearby withered while he sought
What was distant in hopes, only to fail.
As troubles approached his neighbors,
Do you not see Baghdad preparing for calamity?
The people of Khurnaq and Siddir, had they endeavored,
They would have raised a second Siddir and Khurnaq.
Glory to Him Who formed men; never have I found,
A man worthy of such a homeland’s creation.
For it remains tainted, either tyrannical or greedy,
With no one untainted among them, just fools angered.
O homeland, your bane is filled with avarice,
Who could clean this slate and return to prosperity?
Sufferings of nations deceive with false sincerity,
As actions betray what claims they can pronounce.
Now they seek redemption from shackles,
After the affliction has surrounded them.
O homeland, who can bring you back to rise,
After the weary have grown tired of the steep ascent?
No eye ponders whether at dawn, for the lovers,
You shine in no light, nor dwell in the changes.
Your gardens blossom, your waters sparkle,
Describing waters while savoring in joy.
If only the Tigris could drift in joy,
Flowing sweetly, the peasants applaud.
Winds spill forth in fervor, yet,
The narrow paths constrict its flow.
And wept the waters they sought, as if
They felt tightness, rising to obstructions.
On your rim negating torrents still desire,
Resting your fields from thirst or drowning your lands.
If trees knew the harm that befell them,
They’d shed the burdens of woes, reverting to desolation.
Certainly, you are left in a world of plenty.
So let feelings soften the hardness of your heart,
For in power, let kindness reign lest it grows callous.
What is your plight, dear calamities, should they besiege,
How I beseech the divine to keep them at bay.
The resolve of men, when it reaches a breaking point,
Is as unfurling wings of flowering destiny.
A timeless tale told of resilient prosperity,
“Yarab” sought salvation, and indeed he succeeded.
He exhausted efforts in unity, none could fight,
To shatter their bonds until they divided.
I present to you this tale if you follow its path,
As it showed the way to immortality.
