1. I ask to confine the description in praising Ahmed
You have done wrong, and you have embarked your breathlessness
١. أطَالِبَ حَصْرِ الوصْفِ فِي مَدْحِ أحْمَد
أسَأتَ وَقَدْ أرْكَبْتَ أنفَاسَكَ العَجْزا
2. Can you count the pebbles, the plants, the sand and the soil
And the flowers of the night, the drops, the silk and the brocade
٢. أتُحْصِي الحَصَى والنبتَ والرملَ وَالثَّرَى
وَزُهْرَ الدجَى وَالقَطْرَ وَالخزَّ والبزَّا
3. And how can you count the virtues of the one who has become
For his beautiful attributes, the sayings of mankind are attributed
٣. وكَيْفَ بأنْ تُحْصِي مَحَاسنَ مَنْ غَدَا
لأوْصَافِهِ الحُسْنَى مَقَالُ الوَرَى يُعزْى
