لولا ابو الفضل ولولا فضلُه

ما اسطيع باب لا يُسنّى قفلُه

Were it not for Abu al-Fadl and his grace,

I would not be able to unlock a door without a key.

ومن صلاح راشدٍ اصطبلُه

نعم الفتى وخير فعل فعلهُ

And from Salih Rashid I harness it,

What a fine young man! His deeds were the best deeds!

يسمن منه طِرفه وبغلُه

His flock and his mule fatten because of him
