Original content

ای سنایی چو یافتی امکان
بنمای اندرین سخن برهان

چون شدی فارغ از مدایح شاه
به سوی مدح خواجه آر پناه

خواجهٔ خواجگان و جماعت دیوان
سروران و گزیدگان زمان

بعد از آن مهتران و جمع قضاة
شکرشان برتر از صیام و صلاة

سرفرازان ملکت ایران
نام داران خسرو توران

خسرو شرق را به هر کاری
روز و شب نونهاده بازاری

خرم از رایشان جهان یکسر
عیب پنهان و آشکار هنر

چاکر ملک شاه شد مینو
که نبیند کسی در او آهو

گر ببینی تو ملکت غزنین
باز نشناسی از بهشت برین

چون بود شاه را نکو کردار
مملکت را فزون شود مقدار

شاه و دستور هردو نیکورای
هرچه بایست جمله داد خدای

شکر این نعمت بی اندازه
که شد اندر ممالکش تازه

که تواند گزارد برگو هین
گشت جنت حوالی غزنین

ای بزرگان غزنی و لوهور
چشم بد زین زمانه بادا دور

یافتید آنچه بود حاجتتان
گشت پذرفته آن عبادتتان

شه جوان و جهان جوان و زمان
در امان همچو روضه های جنان

چون بود کردگار بخشنده
بدهد هرچه خواست زو بنده

کام دلها میسر است اکنون
باد یارب از آنچه هست فزون

یارب این فضلهات بر بنده
دار تا روز حشر پاینده

O Sanai, since you have found the opportunity, Show proof and demonstration in this discourse. When you are free from the praises of the King, Turn your path toward praising the Master. The Master of Masters and the assembly of the court, The leaders and the chosen ones of the age. After that, the chiefs and the gathering of judges, Gratitude for them is higher than fasting and prayer. The exalted ones of the kingdom of Iran, The famous ones of the King of Turan. For every affair of the King of the East, Day and night, they have set up a new marketplace. The entire world is made joyful by their judgment, Defects are hidden, and virtue is manifest. Heaven became the servant of the King's realm, So that no one sees any fault in it. If you were to see the kingdom of Ghaznin, You would not distinguish it from the highest paradise. When the King is of righteous conduct, The value of the kingdom increases. The King and the Minister are both of righteous judgment, Whatever was needed, God granted all of it. Gratitude for this boundless blessing, Which has become fresh and renewed in his lands. Who can render thanks? Say, behold! The surroundings of Ghaznin have turned into paradise. O great ones of Ghazni and Lahore, May the evil eye be far from this era! You attained whatever was your need, And that worship of yours was accepted. The King is young, the world is young, and the time Is secure like the gardens of Paradise. Since the Creator is the Generous Giver, He bestows whatever His servant requested of Him. The heart's desire is now fulfilled, O Lord, may it be even greater than what it is! O Lord, keep these favors of Yours upon this servant, Sustained and everlasting until the Day of Resurrection.
