O brother of Hashim, hello

يا أخا هاشم أهلا

1. O brother of Hashim, hello
With what you said so smoothly

١. يا أَخَا هَاشِمَ أهْلا
بالَّذِي قُلت وسَهْلاَ

2. And may God reward you for what you said
Above excellence, more excellence

٢. وجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ عَمَّا قُلتَ
فَوقَ الفَضْلِ فَضْلا

3. Al-kaskoos wears your praise
An excellence that does not wear away

٣. لَبِسَ الكَسْكُوس مِنْ مدَحِكَ
فَضْلاً لَيسَ يَبْلَى

4. It is more delicious than any edible
Higher and more expensive

٤. فَهوَ أشْهَى كُلِّ مأكُولٍ
وأعْلاَهُ وأَغْلَى

5. It is more delicious to me than wheat
And roasted meat well done

٥. وهو أشْهَى لي من الكَنْ
عَدِ والميْدِ المُقَلَّى

6. You don't see one who eats it
A thousand pounds getting full

٦. لا تَرَى الآكِلَ مِنْهُ
أَلْفَ رَطْلٍ يَتَملاّ

7. Never once I saw from afar
Except my heart greeted it

٧. ما تَرَاءَى من بَعيدٍ
لِيَ يوماً قَطُّ إلاَّ

8. And my stomach prayed upon it
The color of egg whites

٨. سَلَّمَ القَلْبُ عَليهِ
وعَليهِ البَطنُ صَلَّى

9. And eggs in shape
Soft thorns that didn't

٩. كَثُغُورِ البِيْضِ لَوْنَا
وبَنَان البِيْضِ شَكْلاً

10. Prevent the touchers being killed
We haven't seen a name before

١٠. لَيِّنُ الشَّوكِ كما لَمْ
تَمنع الأَهْدَابُ قَتْلاَ

11. That lingered on tongues being mentioned
It came seduced and intoxicating

١١. ما رَأَينا قَبلَهُ اسْماً
ظَلَّ في الأَلْسِنِ يُتْلَى

12. And later became edible
O excellent describer, why not

١٢. رَاحَ مَنْكوحاً ومَشْرُو
باً وأضْحَى بَعْدُ أكْلاَ

13. Add more to your description, why not
You filled the hearing with description

١٣. يا بَديعَ الوَصْفِ هَلاَّ
زِدْتَ في وصفِكَ هَلاَّ

14. When the mouth missed the edible
And perhaps God will make

١٤. فَمَلأْتَ السَّمعَ وصْفاً
حِينَ فَاتَ الفَمُ أكْلاَ

15. This words into action

١٥. ولَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أن يجعَلَ
هَذَا القَوْلَ فِعْلاَ
