So great is Zayed
Dedicated to Sheikh Zayed after Sheikh Mohammed's endurance race victory in Perugia, Italy. 1/6/02

All roads lead to Rome
But victory, a road unique
Never gained by sleep prolonged
Victory comes to those who toil
And who for glory never strives
His life and death are futile
In an hour of struggle and congestion
As horses ran exhausted
Hamdan, whose skill is renowned
And is, when needed, a hero and leader
His horse lost a shoe, and although ever
My supporter, yet luck helped him not
Fought on without him with all my might
And filled the place of a hero, gifted
When on my eye a cloud came
Raining blood, its pain severe
Horses by their riders ruled
None controls a leader but a leader
Never concerns us, envy
We are content with Zayed's blessing
I present to Zayed the happy news of victory
And we are proud of Zayed, to us a father
Oh, our people with musk sealed
Your gifts, your glory enduring
And love for you on the heart engraved
May enemies and enviers approach you not
May my soul, by its pledge committed
Lead you to the spring, fresh
