1. The virtuous outrank their peers of equal worth,
For the noble merit being singled out.

2. O Nafee the auspicious, when gales did roar
And rains poured heavily from above,

3. You resembled no other in your calm poise
And wise acceptance did you prove.

4. Months with us you spent, and from error freed us,
Of doubt and misguidance did remove.

5. Hilal they call you, and Nafee in this age,
And peace what a hopeful sire does behove!
