1. أنح جناب الوزير منتصراً

    فإنه جابرٌ لما كسرا

    Approach the minister's presence, seeking aid,

    For he mends whatever has been broken.

  2. ناديه بالأغنياء محتفل

    وسرّه حائم على الفقرا

    His assembly throngs with the wealthy,

    And his inner thought hovers over the poor.

  3. سوف يرى رأيه الجميل إذا

    أتا حماه الرحيب سوف يرى

    He will see his fine judgment when

    He comes to his spacious sanctuary—he will see.

  4. نعم وزير لا وزر يتبعه

    فينا وأما سواه لا وزرا

    An excellent minister—no guilt follows him

    Among us; apart from him, there are no ministers.

  5. حلى ثناه لأحرفي قعدت

    كالنمل تسعى له مع الشعرا

    His praise grew sweet to my letters; they sat

    Like ants, striving for him alongside the poets.
