شممنا لطيف المسك من رحب خرقة

لا شرف سادات الوجود ابن هاشم

We breathed in delicate musk from the expanse of a cloak,

Of the noblest of existence’s masters, the son of Hashim [reading the unclear opening لا شرف as لأشرف].

علمنا بأن الطيب والخير والهنا

أحاط بنا رغم الحسود المزاحم

We knew that fragrance, goodness, and bliss

Had surrounded us despite the envious rival.

وفزنا وطبنا والإشارة أثبتت

حصول الأماني واتصال المكارم

And we triumphed and were happy, and the sign confirmed

The fulfillment of wishes and the continuance of noble favors.
