VICTORY by IBN HANI

First Line: OVER YOU THE BATTLE'S BREEZE
Last Line: OF AUSPICIOUS VICTORY.
Over you the battle's breeze
Sprinkled sweetest ambergris;
Dawn, unveiling her bright charms,
Succoured your unflagging arms.

So you plucked the fruits of war
That the verdant sword-blades bore,
Ripening upon the tree
Of auspicious victory.
