1. You have gifted me with the finest
Of the eloquent, accomplished book,

2. Wherein you have perpetuated the memory of a father,
Who was the epitome of the patient pioneer.

3. You have immortalized him among the foremost group,
The pride of the present age.

4. Can authorship succeed in a nation
Except with the support of the dedicated publisher?

5. You have honored me, so accept
The words of gratitude from the grateful one.

6. O diligent, persevering sons of Najib,
How much has the first left for the last!
