The messenger came with the letter bearing good news,

أتى في التهاني بالكتاب بشير

1. The messenger came with the letter bearing good news,
Informing me that the noble man is made vizier.

١. أَتى في التَهاني بِالكِتاب بَشيرُ
يَنبئني أَن الشَريف مُشيرُ

2. So I knew that fate has awoken from its slumber,
And aided him with victory, for he is most deserving.

٢. فَأَيقنت أَن الدَهر مِن نَومه صَحا
وَأَيده بِالنَصر وَهوَ جَدير

3. I said, congratulations on the high rank, historian of Egypt,
Noble vizier, faithful in devotion.

٣. فَقُلت أَهنَّى بِالمَعالي مؤرخاً
لمصر شَريف بِالوَفاء وَزير
