إِنَّ ابْنَ زَاكُورٍ بِمَدْحِكَ حَائِزٌ

إِنَّ ابْنَ زَاكُورٍ بِمَدْحِكَ حَائِزٌ

رُتَباً تَفُوقُ مَرَاتِبَ السُّبَّاقِ

May He who exalted you preserve you to succeed those gone before,

You outlast those you outlive, leaving behind those now gone

May He who elevated you preserve you to succeed those who have passed,

Like your namesake, O son of one of noble stock.

Like your lofty lineage, O son of noble ancestry

As high as your towering star, O son of pure lineage.
