1. With your gentle poetry, Mustafa Latifi, tomorrow
Ibn Qais will compose, attaining the highest ranks

2. For you are the greatest prose writer and panegyrist
In our time, the age of politics and literature

3. According to Ibn Qais your praise is testimony
So he will rejoice and pride is his, no wonder

4. And testimony comes to you from Bruni
Who came from the Maghreb, so accept the merit of what was written
