1. You attained glory, O you adorned with majesty
A religion and life, may Allah increase your bounties

2. So to Allah belongs how dignified you were in Egypt
And to Allah belongs how pious you were in the Sacred House

3. I say having witnessed your procession radiant
As it headed towards the Ancient Sacred House

4. The Kaaba of the world walked to the Kaaba of guidance
The majesty of kingdom and religion overflowing from both

5. If only I took the path, if only
I reached the haven of the two abodes, vast and profitable

6. And in the procession a sun who sired the best of creation
The youth of the East, our Master, the Revered Prince

7. Walking to the sun of guidance reverently
Gems orbiting him wherever he goes

8. I have never seen a horizon as your procession rose
With its sides moons, suns and stars

9. If I were given a choice, I would choose to see
Your staff alone chanting, ecstatic

10. I walk amidst the procession towards a courtyard
Upon whose Patron the God prayed and blessed

11. To the best of Allah's creation, who came speaking
His signs, the Gospel of Jesus son of Mary

12. You toured the coasts of the peninsula passing
Reviving its valleys, you were rain for it

13. You rose in the plain of Mecca visiting
So the Nile envied Zamzam over you

14. After Aaron, its land never won
The likes of you, auspicious, blessing

15. And the pilgrims after his person never saw
At Arafat, the like of your devoted self

16. You stoned and hit the idols, and they were not
Idols over Iblis, but arrows

17. And He whom you pelt stands at loss
Though he seeks refuge in the heavens, best pelter

18. Between Safa and Marwa you gained more honor
By your endeavor, O Abbas, submitting to Allah

19. You hasten to the Generous Patron revering
How the endeavorer hastened to you revering

20. You circumambulated, and how wishes orbited your turban
Clasping it, sanctified through you

21. And when you touched the corner, its passions were stirred
If it could speak, it would have spoken

22. It remembered Zain al-Abideen and wept over him
And what Farazdaq said regarding them both

23. If only the corner could grasp a palm
You would wipe it, O most generous of people, hopeful

24. You invoked for us where supplication is answered
By your call to Allah, you purified us, so what

25. Your greatest hopes and care are to see
The valleys of the Nile a prosperous people

26. And to rebuild the glory which pillar leaned
And to unsheathe the sword which is nicked

27. You called for Egypt to prevail, and how often
Egypt called Allah for you to live and be safe

28. If only the Muslim kings emulated
A king, when fate recoils, proceeds

29. Scion of kings, Allah bears witness they
Set up the pillar of religion when it crumbled

30. If he is enamored with bejeweled glory
Abraham was enamored with glory

31. If the love of honors filled his heart
Ishmael was obsessed with them

32. If reverence for The Preserver filled his heart
From it, Tawfiq's heart was filled

33. And if he spends the night rousing Egypt to glory
From his supreme grandfather Ali he learned

34. He carried what they carried of glory and carving
And excelled, exhausting eulogizers, prevaiing

35. They prayed through you and prayed for rain, answering their prayers
From the horizon, two downpours from the clouds surged

36. Insisting on their plains and lowlands
Reviving the gloom of the deserts until they smiled

37. And when he crossed the plain of Mecca, zeal for the House swayed him
To the House, so he headed towards it

38. He circumambulated it, then turned from its courtyard
If the Samaritan saw him, he would have submitted

39. You rose over them, most felicitous of people
And returned to us, most blessed of people, arriving

40. You returned having cured their poverty with generosity
And were for them in the season of Hajj, a season

41. You secured the way to the Sacred House
The way to the House was bloody before

42. And facilitated it until the poor brother could take it
No hunger or thirst exhausting him

43. You gave generously, and the Lady of Purity and Piety
In the year, until the year was fertile through you both

44. You left no wretch above the peninsula
Nor did you leave any starving in the House's field

45. You pleased the Judge and the entire religion
The Judge and religion are pleased with you both
