1. Your poetry, O son of honored writers, has been
Exalted and satisfied the highest lineage

2. I read your magical, lawful verses and did not know
Whether it was the breeze of musk or the morning breeze of Saba

3. An ode whose beginning letter is Sheen then Saad has delighted me
O eye of whoever composed beautiful poems when he wrote

4. If I were to point out its imagery with a dot from my heart
I would not have fulfilled what was required

5. It turned the tears of the slave into flowing
Yearning for the breast of Egypt whose water is sweet

6. This is a gift that has misled my heart with its delight
So it became like the pouring rain that the passion has poured

7. It has become infatuated in every valley seeking
Its fruits while avoiding idle words

8. Its melodies said to its listener
Take off your clothes filled with purpose, fleeing

9. You have renewed the morals of a people after they were forgotten
So the best half of it that went away

10. This is a poem veiled from the cosmos
As if it is the meadow that has revealed a wondrous sight

11. O composer of poetry, the command of law comes before vanity
Do you not beware of those who weighed you down with usury?

12. For weighing with weighing is different than when we say
It was easy for them out of merit while it was difficult

13. If they can compose jewels in poetry
They cannot compose meteors

14. There is no more scope for composers and prose writers
Unless you have preceded them, piercing through the veils

15. If they neighbor with a poem, leave it in vain
And if they compete with prose, scatter it as dust

16. God has honored Egypt, you are its inhabitant
And through you increased books and manuscripts

17. You are the one referred to in the pronoun so you have not
Been lowered O a banner for knowledge, you were erected

18. There must be a predicate for the ultimate virtue
What an excellent subject when time proclaimed about him

19. Is there an issue of virtue that has no Abu Hasan
For it? There is no blame if we kiss and embrace

20. Neither pure nor murky, scattered or yellow
A sea, not a hazard, a sun not veils

21. How can the poets deny the light from you, and has
A peer of yours come O you who was acclaimed for beauty?

22. You have become unmatched in knowledge taking the lead
Forgetting others and promoting knowledge and literature

23. Did you intend by the wisdom you put forth
To torture the mad or misguide the sweet?

24. Or did you aim by the words you gifted
To delight the living or revive the ecstasy?

25. O you who told of armor as protection and smoothness as piety
And Sumayri as a brother and Mashrafi as a father

26. I have logic I did not give out, and you are more
Deserving of it even though I am more attached to dispensing it

27. Since your mention of him continues to reach the slave
Forcibly, empowering him without any reason

28. You have principles brought about by God's grace that are sound
Whether it has preferred desire or preferred caution

29. It is sweet and delicious in hearing and witty in
Outpacing so in every aspect it is called a reed

30. Wronged in resembling it to a branch,
Wronged in resembling it to a lightning strike
