1. A poem graced with praise of Al-Mustafa
And his family, the people of affection and purity
١. مَنظومةٌ شَرُفت بمدحِ المُصطفى
وَبِآلهِ أَهلِ المودّةِ وَالصفا
2. It included from his progeny a lineage in which
Abdul Salam ibn Al Mishish was enveloped
٢. وَتَضمّنت مِن نَسلهم نَسباً بهِ
عَبدُ السلامِ بن المشيشِ تَكنّفا
3. Their glories shine like a blooming meadow
In whose edges spring scattered its flowers
٣. تَجلو مَآثِرُهم كروضٍ زاهرٍ
وَشّى مطارفَهُ الربيعُ وفوّفا
4. You created it as a means for the sincere
Especially the chest of the vizier Al-Mustafa
٤. أَنشأتَها لِلمُخلِصينَ وسيلةً
لا سيّما الصدرُ الوزيرُ المُصطفى
5. And I have certainly allowed him to transmit it
And to exceed in its recitation as a healing draught
٥. وَلَقَد أَجزتُ له رِوايَتها وأَن
تَعدو تِلاوتها لهُ وردَ الشِّفا
6. And with his good intention he will attain what he hopes
In both realms and be safe from fear
٦. وَبِحُسنِ نيّتهِ سَيبلغُ ما رَجا
في النَشأَتينِ وَيأمن المتخوّفا
7. And I ask God to perpetuate for him through it
Benefit and shade wherever he turns or settles
٧. واللّهَ أَسألَ أَن يُديم لَه بها
نَفعاً وظلّاً حيثُ يمّم أو رَفا
