1. The fragrance of your praise, O Abdel Hamid
Revives the flower garden and the dormant memory

2. With a beautiful smile that perpetuated its beauty
And refined manners that softened the course of pearls

3. Its flowing meanings ascended into masterpieces
And love we called in the gardens and in thought

4. A prisoner of your gait, Imru al-Qais, while you are
Evidence of the height of knowledge and poetry

5. You have the merit, O Abdel Hamid, paving the way
With the adornment of brilliance and eloquence like magic

6. It is fitting that the favors of every skilled person soar
And what the pot outlines is like the full moon

7. The destiny of people of literature is your knowledge
A martyr’s mouth with precedence in secret and public

8. It extends to you with longing as praise with commendation
A prisoner of your love as long as life remains

9. This is the covenant of my ardent love
It suffices, even if I do not show, and excuses me before you
