1. He who has seen Ali, the judge of all judges,
Need not fear the fall of any propitious star,
١. ليسَ يخشى من نجمِ سعدٍ سقوطا
من رأى قاضي القضاة عليّا
2. The judge of all judges went as a bountiful rain to Syria,
So may Allah make him forever flow generously!
٢. سارَ قاضي القضاة للشامِ غيثاً
فله الله سارياً وسريَّا
3. If we find wisdom useful in worldly affairs,
How much more we find him a guardian friend in religion!
٣. إن وجدنا وسميّ جدواهُ في الدن
يا وجدنا في الدين منه وليَّا
4. He said: Be happy with his blessings,
And with the purity that he exemplified.
٤. قالَ إحسانهُ تهنُّوا نوالاً
وزكاةً منهُ وكانَ تقيَّا
