Poem for the Grand vizier Mere Huseyin Pasha the Prudent
By Tugi
Thank God; appeared the vizier of leaders
Under his administration all notables smiled
He always acted fairly with the Sultan
No state business has gone broken
Huseyin Pasha, the honorable/fair vizier of Sultan Mustafa,
is Hâtem (pinnacle) in both military and statesmanship
Since he was a loyal servant to the House of Ottomans
He became the grand vizier, so delighted were the statesmen
He attended to the needs of the faithful soldiers
He came to the battlefield with integrity
Huseyin Pasha, who is the honorable/fair vizier of Sultan Mustafa,
is Hâtem (pinnacle) in both military and statesmanship
He is a man of a pure-heart and untainted character
He is a generous and moral man
He is an open-handed, esteemed and virtuous man
He is fond of associating with people of great knowledge
Huseyin Pasha, who is the honorable/fair vizier of Sultan Mustafa,
is Hâtem (pinnacle) in both military and statesmanship
Since becoming Grand vizier, he upheld justice in state affairs
Bringing joy to all of the Sultan’s servants
He showed his appreciation for the warriors by visiting them
His actions earned him a good reputation around the world
Huseyin Pasha, who is the honorable/fair vizier of Sultan Mustafa,
is Hâtem (pinnacle) in both military and statesmanship
His word is like the sword of God in state affairs
He is a vizier of Ottomans, unmatched by any other
Whether educated or not, none can deny his bravery
This is confirmed by everyone in the Corps (janissary corps) whether from high or low ranks
Huseyin Pasha, who is the honorable/fair vizier of Sultan Mustafa,
is Hâtem (pinnacle) in both military and statesmanship
My god, let his enemies fail both in this world and afterworld
Let the day of state enemies turn into a dark night (curse his enemies)
Make his power durable as long as the world exists
May the help of Hacı Bektash be with him
Huseyin Pasha, who is the honorable/fair vizier of Sultan Mustafa,
is Hâtem (pinnacle) in both military and statesmanship
May his every deed be with the help of God
May the four companions always be his supporters
May the sultan's assistance always be available to him
Oh Tugi! May he endure as long as the world exists
Huseyin Pasha, the honorable/fair vizier of Sultan Mustafa,
is Hâtem (pinnacle) in both military and statesmanship
