1. Yesterday your grandfather's palace was grand,
And today your father's palace is grander.

2. Your grandfather was unmatched in his virtues and glories,
Except by your father, his heir.

3. The historian described his grandeur,
When his father was eminent like yours.

4. So in what we read about him,
We witness your father’s superiority.

5. In Egypt he was glorified,
As you are now glorified in Egypt.

6. And in his era, his lands flourished,
As they now flourish in your era.

7. I exalt your ambitions and ascensions,
Events below your aim.

8. If your palace is the greatest of palaces,
Are you not yourself ample and independent?

9. O noble successor,
Every love is part of your love.

10. O seeker of goals, you will attain them
Even if they are distant, by your effort.

11. O best rewarder of your endeavor,
Not stingy with your generosity.

12. This bride is the most precious
Of the signs you were granted in passion.

13. The unique pearl among jewels,
The best intermediary for your bond.

14. A beauty upright in charm,
Leaning toward the beautiful like your pillar.

15. From the house of Nahhas, an excellent
Second element for your offspring.

16. Was her radiant creation the cause
Or was her creation the cause of your fervor?
