    قُلتُ التَمايُزُ مِن قَديمِ

    They said, “Hamza has gained distinction.”

    I said, “His distinction is long-standing.”

    لَاِمتازَ بِالخُلُقِ العَظيمِ

    Had they not distinguished him with them,

    He would have stood out for his noble character.

    وُجِّهنَ مِنكَ إِلى كَريمِ

    Noble ranks in the heights

    Were directed from you to a noble man.

  4. فَاِهنَأ أَخي بِوُفودِها

    وَتَلَقَّ تَهنِئَةَ الحَميمِ

    So rejoice, my brother, at their arrival,

    And receive a dear friend's congratulations.

  5. وَاِرقَ المَنازِلَ كُلَّها

    حَتّى تُنيفَ عَلى النُجومِ

    And ascend through every station,

    Until you tower above the stars.
