1. For the sons of the crown, an important pillar of glory
Has risen high, an illustrious guide

2. All of them are like a full moon in the sky's loftiness
Dazzling the eye with brilliant light

3. Especially the most splendid orator who has surpassed
The prose of speech with the poetry of Al-Jurayri

4. Whoever has ascended the lofty pulpit arrogantly
Without his supremacy, the focus of attention

5. Thus his platforms have become so sublime
Beyond any equal as they rose above any peer

6. And verses like a pleasant garden
A beautiful sight pleased the eye from both

7. What sight pleases the eye of the beholder
Except that the verses in their meaning are nicer to me

8. Than the weaving of silk
So judge between them as you wish, O King

9. As the judgment of the prince over his subject
And the wealthy lad stands before him

10. In the stance of falling short, the poor man's excuse
You have not ceased time between my two delights

11. Continuous joy and pleasant bliss
No orator has ascended the throne's pulpit

12. The bird of good fortune in the shadows of grandeur
