1. With pillars rising high into the sky
A center of virtue, charity and aid

2. Who pushed back drought to fill the Nile
Through effort and deed made the land verdant

3. Jabir who by water distribution did break
The drought, source of bounty to all who prayed

4. Upholding obligations to irrigate the land
Spreading prosperity throughout its breadth

5. May God increase his joy and delight
Through the trusted polestar of wisdom and guidance

6. For he deserves precedence and ascendance
And is most worthy of stature and rise

7. My praise of him adds honor to my verse
And from fate I have reached my goal

8. Since I adorned it with his accolades
The prime of my verse in its valleys and hills

9. And being pleased with him I dated and marked
The appearance of his glory with success
