Congratulations to the minister for fulfilling his duty

هنيئا للوزير قضاء دين

1. Congratulations to the minister for fulfilling his duty
With him the era became joyful and content

١. هَنِيئاً لِلْوَزِيرِ قَضَاءُ دَيْنِ
بِهِ أَضْحَى الزَّمَانُ قَرِيرَ عَيْنِ

2. And the return of his ministry which was brought to him
Is like the return of a loved one after separation

٢. وَعَوْدُ وِزارَةٍ سِيقَتْ إلَيْهِ
كَعَوْدَةِ قُرْبِ حِبٍّ بَعْدَ بَيْنِ

3. My father Abdel Ilah, the most glorious protector
Was gracious with youthfulness and vitality

٣. أَبِي عَبْدِ الإلِهِ أَجَلِّ كَافٍ
تَسَمَّحَ بِالنضُّارِ وَباللُّجَيْنِ

4. And this brings happiness to Ya'qub his brother
And their generous progenitor Abu Al-Husain

٤. وَيَهْنِي ذَاكَ يَعْقُوباً أَخَاهُ
وَصِنْوَهُمَا الْكَرِيمَ أَبَا الْحُسَيْنِ

5. They are the two moons of the era and its pride
Relieving the kingdom from shame and disgrace

٥. هُمَا قَمَرَا الزَّمَانِ وَغُرَّتَاهُ
مُرِيحا الْمُلْكِ مِنْ عَارٍ وَشَيْنِ

6. They brought forth sincere care and attention for it
In the affairs of the overseers

٦. أَحَلَّا مِنْهُ نُصْحاً وافْتِقَاداً
مَصالِحَهُ مَحَلَّ النَّاظِرَيْن

7. Corruption had mounted up
But it was lowered by the reform of these two

٧. وَما كانَ الْفَسادُ وَقَدْ تَعَلَّى
ليَخْفِضَهُ سِوَى إصْلاحِ ذَيْنِ

8. And this brings happiness to Abdullah among them
For he is their outstanding youth

٨. وَيَهْنِي ذَاكَ عَبْدَ اللهِ فيه
فَتاهُ فَهوَ إحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ

9. A crescent whose light the nights did not scatter
So the passage of time did not diminish it

٩. هلاَلٌ لَمْ تُبَدِّدْهُ اللَّيالِي
فَيَنْقُصَهُ مُرُورُ الفَرْقَدَيْنِ

10. Sovereignty accompanies him without fading
And resembles him in similar duality

١٠. تُرادِفُه السِّيادَةُ غَيْرَ وَانٍ
وَيُشْبِهُهُ تَشَابُهَ قَرَّتَيْنِ

11. As you placed a line in a book
And did not dot it with a mark after a mark

١١. كَما أَوْدَعْتَ سَطْراً مِنْ كِتابٍ
ولَمْ تَنْقُطْهُ غَيْناً بَعْدَ عَيْنِ

12. A minister whose days are ascending in glory
With hands unfettered against his enemies

١٢. وَزِيرٌ مُقْبِلُ الأَيَّام عالٍ
عَلَى أَعْدائِهِ طَلْقُ الْيَدَيْنِ

13. He debases wealth by giving generously
And the path of generosity is difficult except for the gentle

١٣. يُهِينُ المَالَ بالإفضالِ جُوداً
وَمَرْقَى الجُودِ صَعْبٌ غَيْرُ هَيْنِ

14. Time will fulfill him with lengthened life
For the possession of leadership is every debt

١٤. سَيَقْضِيهِ الزَّمانَ بِطُولِ عُمْرٍ
وَتَمْلِيكُ الرِّياسَةِ كُلُّ دَيْنِ

15. Robes of honor became lost in seeking him
Of lofty spirit and prominent heights

١٥. غَدَتْ خِلَعٌ عَلَيْهِ تَائهاتٌ
بِعالِي النَّفْسِ عَالِي الذَّرْوَتَيْنِ

16. Their blackness eclipsed the darkness of nights
As the blackness of kohl eclipses the two eyelids

١٦. جَلَتْ بِسَوادِها ظُلَمَ اللَّيالِي
كَما تَجْلُو سَوادَ المُقْلَتَيْنِ

17. With a belt in which jewelry shines
As the stars of Pleiades and Orion shone

١٧. بِمَنْطَقِةٍ يَلُوحُ الحَلْيُ فِيهَا
كَما لاَحَتْ نُجُومُ الشِّعْرَيَيْن

18. Jeweled clasps are fastened from it
Polished of delicate blade

١٨. تُناطُ مَعالِقٌ مِنْهَا رِقَاقٌ
بِمَصْقُولٍ رَقِيقِ الشَّفْرَتَيْنِ

19. As an opinion from him that acts in the nights
And in the days the action of the active

١٩. كَرَأْيٍ مِنْهُ يَفْعَلُ في اللَّيالِي
وَفِي الأَيَّامِ فِعْلَ النَّيِّرَيْنِ

20. May God raise our masters all
And maintain them with lasting permanence

٢٠. فَأَعْلَى اللهُ سَادَتَنَا جَمِيعاً
وَأَبْقاهُمْ بَقاءَ الفَرْقَدَيْنِ

21. And keep from them the claws of death
In their life's nearness and in its distance

٢١. وقَلَّمَ عَنْهُمُ ظُفُرَ المَنايَا
بِقُرْبِ مُناهُمُ وَبِبُعْدِ حَيْنِ

22. And a kingdom for people and era of serenity
That sees its enemies in every evil condition

٢٢. ومِلْكٍ للوَرَى وَصَفاءِ دَهْرٍ
يَرينُ عَلَى عِداهُمُ أَيَّ رَيْنِ

23. How they were blamed for excessive righteousness
But they did not listen to the rebuke of the two blamers

٢٣. فَكَمْ عُذِلُوا عَلَى إْفَراطِ بِرٍّ
فَمَا أصْغَوْا لِعَذْلِ العاذِلَيْنِ

24. I say with what I know truthful words
Far from lies and disgrace in manner

٢٤. أَقولُ بِمَا عَلِمْتُ مَقالَ صِدْقٍ
بَعِيدِ الشَّأْوِ مِنْ كَذِبٍ وَشَيْنِ

25. They indeed protected the ministry after violation
And adorned it though it was unsightly

٢٥. لَقَدْ صَانُوا الوِزارَةَ بَعْدَ هَتْكٍ
وَزانُوهَا وَكانَتْ غَيْرَ زَيْنِ

26. With enlightened perspective for the loyalists
And difficult for the enemies without softness

٢٦. بِرَأْيٍ مُسْتَنِيرٍ لِلْمَوالي
وَصَعْبٍ لِلمُعادِي غَيْرِ لَيْنِ

27. And pens that judge the adversaries
With the judgement of sword and sturdy spear

٢٧. وَأَقْلاَمٍ تُحَكَّمُ فِي الأَعادِي
كَحُكْمِ السَّيْفِ وَالرُّمْحِ الرُّدَيْنِي

28. And the spear in them suffices over argument
And the sword suffices over reforming the deviant

٢٨. وَيُغْني الرُّمْحُ فِيها عَنْ ثِقافٍ
وَيُغْني السَّيْفُ عَنْ إِصْلاحِ قَيْنِ

29. And books flap with what they prohibited
By which is the reform of the two flappers

٢٩. وَتَخْفُقُ بِالذَّي نَهْواهُ كُتْبٌ
يَكُونُ بِها صلاحُ الخْافِقَيْنِ

30. You see the destinies ascending to him
Pulled between submission and obedience

٣٠. تَرَى الأَقْدارَ مُصْعِدَةً إلَيْهِ
تَسَحَّبُ بَيْنَ تَسْجِيَةٍ وَطَينِ

31. Your reward for reforming a kingdom
Is the reward of martyrs of Uhud or Hunayn

٣١. ثَوابُكُمُ عَلَى إصْلاحِ مُلْكٍ
ثَوابُ شُهُودِ أُحْدٍ أَوْ حُنَيْنِ

32. You cultivated the sons of the noble for a period
In which cultivation for one with two arms lengthens

٣٢. فَرَعْتُمْ فِي بَنِي الأَحْرارِ طَوْراً
يَطُولُ الرَّعْنُ فيه ذا رُعَيْنِ

33. Muhammad added to your prominence
And Ya'qub the noble of the two sides

٣٣. وَزادَكُمُ مُحَمدُكُم عُلُوّاً
وَيَعْقُوبٌ شَرِيفُ الجانِبَيْنِ

34. You inherited from them generosity and merit
Thus comes the progeny of the two virtuous

٣٤. وَرِثْتُمْ عَنْهُمَا كَرَماً وَفَضْلاً
كَذَاكَ يَجِيءُ نَجْلُ الْفاضِلَيْنِ

35. You repaired what was between my two eras
Out of nobility despite the enmity

٣٥. لَقَدْ أَصْلَحْتُمُ ما بَيْنَ دَهْرِي
عَلَى رَغْمِ الْعدَى كَرَماً وَبَيني

36. I will fulfill in praising you rights
As the rights of two parents are fulfilled

٣٦. سَأَقَضِي فِي مَدِيحكُمُ حُقُوقاً
كَمَا تُقْضَى حُقُوقُ الوْالِدَيْنِ
