1. Fakhri Pasha attained his wishes through merit,
Under the auspices of Tawfiq, and achieved success.

2. The exalted ministry of justice would accept
None other before this, never!

3. Why not, when this lion cub is from a fierce lion
Whose enemies in war take pains to evade?

4. He is Ja'far of resolute determination and sincerity
Whose lights in governance do not diminish.

5. May his excellency endure and his praise be pure
In circles that admit no deceit.

6. And may his fair Husein remain invested
In the most eminent positions, for as long as he lives.

7. Poetry I had abandoned, but it
Spontaneously overflowed in my mind

8. And I came to chant in celebration, recording
The beginning of affection for Fakhri Pasha.
