1. O you who is pleased with the finest qualities,
O you who is adorned with attributes of elegance and kindness,
١. يا رضيَّ الخِلال يا من تحلّى
بصفاتٍ تروقُ ظَرفاً ولُطْفَا
2. You have graced us with a book,
That reached the highest heavens in meaning and description.
٢. قد تفضلت منعماً بكتابٍ
حلّ أوج السِماك مَعنىً ووصفا
3. We thanked the beauty of this deed in the beginning,
Then we doubled our thanks after that.
٣. فشكرنا حُسْنَ الصنيعِ ابتداء
ثم زدناه بعدَ ذلكَ ضِعْفَا
