1. I recalled your eminence with the wisdom of a literate
Words parted and kinship departed

2. The stranger came leading the eloquent
And the eloquent came leading the stranger

3. May you be rewarded for what you have connected
The wing of the literate - attentive and responsive

4. As if I have attained what he attained
So for me in happiness is the most fulfilling share

5. My gratitude to your blessings is with Him
And with me, gratitude for the pouring rain

6. And my words - as your deed has shaken me
As the shaking of the gentle breeze to the supple branch

7. You remained, and your blessings are hoped for
And your sword is Egypt, and you are the fertile
