1. لِأَميرَنا اِبنِ مُرادَ مِلحمَ قَد أَتى

    نَجلٌ تَسَربلَ بِالجَلالِ الأَشرفِ

    To our emir, Melhem son of Murad, there has come

    a son, robed in the noblest majesty.

  2. حَيٌ فَسارَ عَلَيهِ مَدمَعُ فارِحٍ

    بَدَلاً بِهِ عَن مَدمَعِ المُتَلهِّفِ

    Alive—and over him flowed the tears of one rejoicing,

    replacing, through him, the tears of one who grieved.

  3. كَمُلَ الجمالُ اليوسُفيُّ بِهِ كَما

    تَمَّ البَهاءُ لَدَيهِ وَاللُطفُ الخَفِي

    Beauty like Yusuf's reached perfection in him, just as

    splendor and hidden grace reached their fullness in him.

  4. وافى بِتاريخٍ فَأَصبَحَ جامِعاً

    ضوءَ الشِهابِ عَلى مَحاسِنِ يوسُفِ

    He arrived with a chronogram, thus uniting

    the meteor's light with Yusuf's charms.
