You could only accept consent and acceptance

And the success you achieve is assured

3. Or have you not become accustomed to attaining the goal
In what you have taken on, and it is no small thing

4. In all that you were assigned or took over
You have not come except beneficial and momentous

5. Not to mention you exemplify refinement in a nation
That has praised you for refinement

Lacking in courageous men for this position

So it threw the distinguished mind to the country of bright minds

Avoids arrogance and pretentiousness

Devoted in his goals, busy in his tasks

Facing an important question needing an answer

Reliance in a position like this

Gifting him the sash of Ismail

And knowledge is what you completed commendably

14. And skill in solving even the most complex
When debaters have refused solutions

15. And a vision in obscure matters that sees clearly
Its unknowns stalking the unknown

16. And wisdom that guides you if guidance is difficult
And shows you a pleasing way to correctness

17. So with one look at the intricate matter
You elucidate it unambiguously

18. We have gathered as a family for your farewell
To fulfill the rights of our dean with veneration

19. And to bestow on you the Riyadh’s gratitude for the rain
That watered its thirst for a long time

They planted goodness and reap goodness

And efforts that were not spared

Pride that records it for him

23. And today Ali sponsors it
Towards steady success that guarantees

24. Thus it sees the increase of its minister
As a victory from which it hopes for abundant good

25. And it is happiness that Muhammad
Is an aide to him in governance and deputy

26. What a superb deputy whose opinion is never
Delivered except that it is well-founded

And when he claims, presents evidence

28. Egypt’s ambassador go proudly guided
And alongside excellence, cleanse the Nile

29. We anticipate from you feats
From which the country reaps long yields
