1. O you whose glory
The stars' flowers were made horses
١. يا من غَدَتْ لعُلاهُ
زُهْرُ النّجومِ مَطايَا
2. Your merit in my eyes
Transcends all praise
٢. محلُّ قَدْرِك عِنْدي
يجوزُ حَدَّ التَّحايا
3. Yet the eminent
Gifted you presents
٣. لكنّ أَهلَ المعالي
والظَّرْفِ سَنُّوا الهَدايا
4. I sent you my love
As well as nightingales and gazelles
٤. وقد بعثتُ وِدادي
وأَبْرَمِيساً ورَايَا
5. To give joy to every taste
And be chosen by yearnings
٥. يلتذُّه كلُّ ذَوْقٍ
وتَصْطَفِيه الحَوايا
6. You still ascend and toast
Your enemies the cup of death
٦. لا زلتَ تسمو وتَسْقي
عِداكَ كأسَ المنَايا
7. The nights wished you safety
And calamities avoided you
٧. وسالمَتْك الّليالي
وجانَبتْك الرَّزايا
