    دَلَّ عَلَيْكَ الْغُرَمَا

    You would have nothing but generosity,

    which led the creditors to you.

  2. يَا ابْنَ السَّعُودِ دم

    تَ صَبّاً لِلْمَعَالِي مُغْرَمَا

    O son of good fortune, may you remain

    an ardent lover, enamored of lofty pursuits.

    رَاضَ الْعُلاَ لَمَّا رَمَى

    One like you hit the

    targets of eminence squarely when he shot,

  4. وَجَدَّدَ الْعَهْدَ مِنْ ال

    مَجْدِ وَكَانَ انْصَرَمَا

    and renewed the age of

    glory, which had come to an end.

  5. فَالدَّهْرُ قدْ شَبَّ بِهِ

    وَكَانَ يَشْكُو الْهَرَمَا

    Thus Time has grown young through him,

    though it had complained of old age.
