1. You have sublime ranks to choose from
So take pride, for you are our pride and its pride

It has settled and none but you is its settlement

And in the meadows of sublime is its dwellings

Upon you lies what revolves among the people

Like the sun that filled the horizons with its lights

Without you, its secrets would not have been revealed to us

Except by palms of his generosity its fruits

9. God is Greatest, you are greatest role model
The heaviest matters, it knows not its weight

10. And let the Muslims fast in you as they fasted
In his grandfather Adnan and his offspring Nizari

11. From where his tongue is its sword
A gone past, and its present a cutting blade

12. A unique one with attributes like his perfection and gift
The world did not allow, nor its eras

13. A world in which the generous perished, so it sinned
So it is as though by his existence it seeks forgiveness

14. And it is as though it apologized to its children through him
And its apology through him was accepted

15. Hoping to gain riches from his palms
It makes you needless of other palms and their stinginess

16. His virtues have spread fingers of comfort
Flowing over his heart rivers

17. The free among us from those whom he set free
And his slaves from those he gifted freedom

18. There the "shanashina", known through him
Did not spend except with the dew their times

19. How many gardens the life made blossom early
So it rained with the downpour of his generosity its flowers

20. He is a rain that did not cease its spouts
And a cloud that did not clear its showers

21. He gave life to the lands of knowledge after its lessons
A knowledge whose times have returned through him

22. And so did the strange rhymes after their recession
Profit through the market of Ukaz and its trade

23. Carried the beauty of his praise its transports
And talked of his works its brokers

24. And narrated the ancient glory its narrators
And circulated the validity of its news

25. Virtue that spreads in every land his mention
And so are the stars, the greatest its rover

26. And his excellent prose, they have revealed
Through them his excellence and its books

27. Like gardens that blossomed its flowers
Or beautiful women that undid their buttons

28. Revealing from the hidden what makes existence weary
And confuses with its emergence minds

29. Still swimming its night in penetrating
From a thought until its day came out

30. Poured from his words with eloquence
Pleasant for the listener is reiterating it

The lands and its regions

Sufficient to thank for the blessing of its God

33. The eyes of the faith are pleased in you, and only
Your envious enemies, their settlement does not settle

34. They wished to attain the happiness of its happiness
But you distanced them from it and erased their landmarks

35. You choose for the essence of perfection over desires
That ordeal, few choose it

36. So when you spread, you are most eloquent spreader
Stringer of pearl of wisdom, its spreader

37. Letters, where is youth from its words
Al-Shafi'i and where is its fragrance and nectar

38. A scripture interchanged with the night of glory circulated in it
The pleasant morning breeze and its times

39. Do you know what stream comes to you in discourse
And from the wondrous, your recollection of it

40. Comes like the flood of al-Muzn wherever you called it
And like your palm's generosity, abundant its pouring

41. So how much darkness of perplexing I lit for you
Its darkness and illumination unravels through you

42. And you have elucidated in it from the sciences brides
So you came from the possession of time its strewing

43. You have increased in it elevation and humility
And I see men disdain its arrogance

44. Verily composure is in the souls and did not transgress
A soul, dignity of the calm and its calmness

45. If you take pride in wearing a mark
Then your deeds, O honor of existence, its pride

46. It was molded for your honor my master from essence
Where essences, you are, you are its seas

47. As if extracted from your chest
Or from your beauty its light shone

48. Still takes the sights its light
But in the chests of the envious its fire

49. Verily providence came with all that
It desires upon you and these are its traces

50. It has killed others with its reaching, as though it were
The dead of eyes, so none can attain its revenge

51. And suffice you the acknowledgement of enemies with what
Pleases the governors, and their denial did not benefit

52. And you have created a sky of each virtue
Risen on its horizons its moons

53. Is there in Iraq, and who is over it, and who has from it
And not a thousandth of it for them all?

54. And you have covered the disgraces of a land
Were it not for you, none could cover, and it is your right its shame

55. O pole of the orbit of leadership and sublimity
Revolving for its affairs have become its spinner

56. Your prior virtues have reached them, so you surpassed them
With virtues whose dust was never stirred

57. Take it, angering the envious with a poem
I did not tire, O Abu Al-Thana', of its increase

58. The days do not cease conferring upon you wishes
And flow upon what you desire its fates
