1. مَولاي يا رَبَّ اليَرا

    عَة وَالبَراعَة وَالفَصاحَه

    My lord, O master of the reed

    pen, of skill and eloquence;

  2. فيكَ العَوارِف وَالمَعا

    رف وَاللَطافَة وَالرَجاحَه

    In you are kindnesses and

    knowledge, refinement and sound judgment;

  3. وَبِكَ المَكارِم وَالكَرا

    ئم وَالعَزائِم وَالسَماحَه

    And through you come noble deeds and noble

    qualities, firm resolves and generosity.

  4. عَهدي بِهِمَّتِكَ العَلِيَّةِ إِن

    تَأَبّى جامِحٌ راضَت جِماحَه

    I know your lofty resolve: if

    an unruly one resists, it tames his unruliness.

  5. فَعَلى مَ أُخِّرَ مَطلَبي

    بَل سَيّدي أَرجو نَجاحَه

    Why, then, has my request been delayed?

    Rather, my lord, I hope for its fulfillment.
