1. The era of the director has returned in the eyes of people
Praiseworthy and the shortest of blames

2. And the aggression of the aggressors against them is fulfilled
And coercion and forcing are fulfilled

3. Their wise governor made them forget
The ignorance and darkness they suffered

4. No transgressor sees a way to him
While the jealous and covetous see it

5. The side of gentleness is brought close to him
But the side of truth with him cannot be desired

6. In him are established the everlasting meanings
And the transient ones that dressed them are gone

7. For him the mornings set while the years pass
He has a noble and kind spirit

8. Equals do not remain with him for long
Except for open-handedness and charity from him

9. Good traits and nature are in every
Noble one, their mirror is attire

10. In his conscience, whoever examines it
Will see intelligence and daring

11. Reassured in himself and to it
Are tied the generous impulses

12. He experienced life and its marvels
Surrounding it, words can encompass

13. The rise of the country began, and in its
Sky of hope, a lightning bolt can be sensed

14. That memory of it is truly a ray
Darkness cannot cover in souls

15. It is a memory by which glory
Settles in every nation and remains

16. And to the extent nations renew it
They become strong and glorious leaders prosper

17. Egypt honors today one who died
After a struggle and deserves respect

18. A day of pride you witnessed, it did not disappear
With its Nile or Pyramids

19. That departed one who alleviated
Its worries, beyond what remedies do

20. And spent changing conditions firmly
His era did not end and falconry remained

21. Look at his handsome appearance, in it
Is every ornament of adornment that is envied

22. It's as if he's come back to life
Filling the eye, his radiant face

23. What thanks from those who inherited
To cheer those who established

24. What thanks from those who inherited
To convey to those who established

25. Who can represent my poetry, survive
As a monument that remains erected?

26. How it came to modernity in that
While he is the most learned scholar

27. He devised brilliance and intellect and showed
Virtue of that experienced management

28. With patience and resolve, plains flourish
And hail pours down

29. That council disappeared after the finance minister
And its unity disbanded

30. So Maher remained in it
Under water like a thick, leafy tree

31. He was not accustomed to stability and with suppression
He echoed and rusted the bolts

32. So he took guidance to walk properly
With much thinking and charity

33. Thus he shared the love of the country and was concerned
His caring heart that pondered fate

34. The true lover is guided by the whim
Of his love, not led by the bridle

35. A good association emerged in zeal
To organize the elite of the country

36. It gives self and valuables charitably
Purely and for the sake of the goal - excellent is the goal

37. It intended only the masses who suffer
While others enjoy favor

38. The masses who stand on earth
While their peers are favors

39. It seeks advice and guidance for them
And protects their weak from oppression

40. It gathered them and a generous
Leader came forth, honored ones

41. Maher took on the burden skillfully
Managing every difficult affair

42. If light is wanted he's a flame
If wanted erased he's a sword

43. He showed us cooperation and the two pillars
In it are integrity and harmony

44. And showed us candor and honesty
And perfection and decisiveness

45. And showed us what inhabits patience
And faith over surrender

46. And showed that leadership is a kind
Of brotherhood, no boredom or rift

47. And that groups are siblings, pride
For patrons that they are servants

48. Then came the day Egypt called him
For a grave matter, not light

49. A day between wishes and death
Was most fitting for hesitation

50. A position - the ministers objected
While disasters amassed debris

51. But condemnation can miss the target
To where it should not be placed

52. And in trials, some correction
In the outcomes is productive

53. So Maher spoke up for an opinion
Though the sublime evaded it

54. With comrades who strove, so traits
Came to them time did not bring

55. Others paved the final stretch
And at the end was intervention

56. Egypt's ancient king returned renewed
His supremacy and order intact

57. The constitution's rebuilding, strong
Steadfast, its pillars and supports

58. Leave aside this beginning, in it
Was critique and completion

59. With openings each day
Regaining rights lost for years

60. Foreigners' outreach was curtailed
And laws returned to locals

61. And let time prove what it proves
For emergencies, belts are tightened

62. Moderation protects from missteps
Major ones steps falter in

63. Tell those who belittle caution against dangers
That only wreckage protects

64. How can one expect safety with deficits
For a man from his disgrace and defense?

65. Moderation means the body's health - does it stay safe
Except with precaution, bodies?

66. For life to continue and money too
Both during hard times must align

67. That was the prudent situation
Mustafa followed - the best leader

68. His good hands and great efforts
Kept it from any blemish

69. Ask him and you'll know how to sever
Causes of discord and join family ties

70. And help sheltered widows
And aid the poor and orphans

71. If an asker is disappointed, he never was
In his selfless care, hopeful and obscure

72. Shall I show you what he spent
His time on when worries ceased?

73. That is wisdom taken from us - only
The greatest parts were recorded

74. From the traits of a soul worthy
That its essence be unveiled

75. A free soul whose manners align
In it air and sandstorms are believed

76. Not prophetic that he is the peaceful one
He was great in himself, not made vain

77. By any glorification
In traits and manners, only accord is seen

78. At every turn voices listen to him
And for his joking, smiles

79. One amusing remark follows another jousting
An orator who heals worries with his words

80. And awakens spirits to hear
Tones as if they are roars

81. And melodies as if songs
Each life comes to an end, but

82. You shepherd hearts - this end
What arrow have you thrown into the chest of an adorer

83. By you, arrows would be deflected
A being of virtue and chastity, untouched

84. By harm or pain from others
Of vicious gossip, as long as in the heart

85. Is fervor and in loyalty, a protector
Other than this resolute intention and what actualized it

86. Each state but you in it is flawed
May God guard you and abundant

87. Is reward, so go in peace Mustafa
These are books he returns to

88. The finest fruits of pens
Where are in them the cup-bearer and aromatic wine

89. Sweet, and where are in them cups?
Life reveals its joys in them

90. Sorrows and pains are consoled
And secrets shared cheer

91. The musings of thoughts and dreams
But it's as if studying for enrichment

92. Is help, not complete
And seeking completeness he traveled the earth

93. That refined determined one
He circled under every sky

94. Returning each year after a year
Not a stranger in any nation or language

95. Without total fluency
Benefiting from each art form

96. And Egypt benefits from his gains
Oh you who left with the greatest name

97. To the two brilliant eras of mankind
Who can be the literatus after you, no strangeness

98. In his words or ambiguity
