1. Elias, O son of Suleim, what pride is there
Like being the successor of his people after him?
١. إلْيَاسُ يَا ابْنَ سَلِيمٍ أَيُّ مَفْخَرَةٍ
كَأَنْ تَكُونَ لَهُ فِي قَوْمِهِ خَلَفَا
2. He who was unique among them as a towering flag,
That no description can encompass when described.
٢. ذَاكَ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهِمْ مُفْرَداً عَلَماً
فَمَا يُحِيطُ بِهِ وصْفٌ إِذَا وَصَفَا
3. You were given his rank, so love to restore it
To glory in a flourishing renewal.
٣. أُعْطِيتَ رُتْبَتَهُ أَحْبِبْ بِعَوْدَتِهَا
إِلى الحِمى فِي ازْدِهَارٍ طَابَ مُؤْتَنَفَا
4. Is there any perfection for one whose status is exalted
Like glory and sublime morals when combined?
٤. هَلْ مِنْ كَمَال لِمَنْ تَسْمو مَكَانَتُهُ
كالمَجْدِ وَالخُلقِ العَالِي إِذا ائتَلفَا
