Dedicated to His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid,

Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai

Slow down please, for you have exhausted lovers of glory and

those who seek happiness for their people

Affairs are in their hands, but they do not understand the true solutions

While you are a man of ​​genius and wisdom, who knows the ins and outs of leadership

In his chest is a courageous heart, so he charges forward whenever the situation gets harder

He does not cry about spilt milk but always seeks a better future

He loves difficult roads, as they pose a challenge urging him not to spare any effort

They bring out from his depth all originality that without challenge one would not know its depth

And urge him to create new solutions with adventure but a calculated one

For he is a poet who loves glory and has a mastery of the secrets of rhetoric and criticism

And he is a knight on horseback on a high saddle, but horses know him well riding them saddleless

And he is a natural leader whom heroes dream to be part of his army

He sees mountains as hills, and plateaus in his eyes are plains, and ebbs in his seas become flows

He achieves one remarkable feat after another until his achievements become a flood breaking all barriers and dams
