1. مني إِليك أؤدي بَعض ما وَجَبا

    وَأَنظم الدر مِن مَدح وَلا عَجَبا

    From me to you, I render some of what is due.

    And I string pearls of praise—and no wonder.

  2. سارَت إِلَيكَ المَعالي تَكتَسي حللا

    مِن عز مَجدك يا مَن قَد رَقى حَسَبا

    Lofty honors journeyed to you, clothing themselves in robes

    Of the might of your glory, O you who have risen in nobility.

  3. طابَت نُفوس الوَري لَما بَلَغَت عُلا

    فَكُن مبهجاً بِما قَد صُرت مُكتسبا

    The souls of humankind rejoiced when you reached the heights.

    So be gladdened by what you have come to acquire.

  4. فَإِن قَدرك قَدر لا مَثيل لَهُ

    وَأَنتَ لِلفَضل طراً لا تَزال أَبا

    For your rank is one that has no equal,

    And you remain a father to all excellence.
