1. أبلِغْ مَقالي كُلَّ عافٍ مُجتَدي

    ومُؤَمِّلٍ في قَصدِهِ أنْ يَهتدِي

    Convey my words to every supplicant seeking bounty,

    And everyone hoping to find guidance in his quest:

  2. عرِّجْ على الشَّيخِ الجَليل المُرتَجى

    وزر الوزارَةِ أحمَدِ بنِ مُحَمَّدِ

    Turn toward the venerable elder in whom hopes are placed,

    The ministry's refuge, Ahmad son of Muhammad.

  3. فرُواؤهُ مِلْءُ العُيونِ وحُبُّهُ

    مِلءَ القُلوبِ وسَيْبُهُ ملءُ اليَدِ

    For his beauty fills the eyes, and love for him

    Fills the hearts, and his bounty fills the hand.

  4. يَفري أمورَ المُلْكِ رَأياً فَيْصلاً

    وعَزيَمةً تُزري بكُلِّ مُهَنَّدِ

    He cuts through the affairs of the realm with decisive judgment,

    And a resolve that puts every Indian-steel sword to shame.

  5. ويفيضُ نائلُهُ بفَيضٍ زاعِبٍ

    فيقولُ سائلُهُ قَدِي قَدِيِ

    And his bounty pours forth in a surging flood,

    So his petitioner says, 'Enough for me, enough for me!'

  6. فاثْنِ الرَّجاءَ إلى عُلاهُ فإنَّهُ

    غَوثُ الرَّدي غَيْثُ الصَّدِي بَدرُ النَّدِي

    So turn your hope toward his eminence, for he is

    Succor for the perishing, rain for the thirsty, the assembly's full moon.

  7. لازالَ في يَومٍ أغَرَّ مُبَشِّرٍ

    بسعادَةٍ غَرّاءَ تطلُعُ في غَدِ

    May he ever dwell in a bright day bringing glad tidings

    Of radiant happiness dawning tomorrow,

  8. لِيُقيمَ كُلَّ مُؤدَّدٍ ويُنيمَ كُلَّ

    مُسَهَّدٍ ويَضمَّ كُلَّ مَبَدَّدِ

    To lift up every afflicted one, and give sleep to every

    Sleepless one, and gather all who are scattered.
