1. فخرَ النساءِ وزينةَ الأَتراكِ

    هذي تحيَّة شاعرٍ حيَّاكِ

    O pride of women and adornment of the Turks,

    This is the greeting of a poet who salutes you.

    كُسِيَت معاني الحسن من معناكِ

    You portrayed Yusuf to the world in a story,

    Clothed in beauty's meanings drawn from your own essence.

  3. سحرٌ تدفَّق من يراعكِ للنُهى

    أم ذاك ما فعلت بنا عيناكِ

    Is it magic that flowed from your pen into minds,

    Or is that what your eyes have done to us?

  4. أكرم بمن سمَّاكِ خالدةً فهل

    أُوحي إِليهِ عندما سمَّاكِ

    How noble the one who named you Khalida! Was he, then,

    Inspired when he named you?

    بجميل صنعٍ قدَّمته يداكِ

    Your memory will remain immortal among us,

    Through the fine work your hands have offered.
