1. اِبن وزيرٍ لخير الدين يهنأ به

    إرثٌ وزارته عن جدّه وأبِه

    A minister’s son, on whom Khayr al-Din is congratulated;

    His ministry is an inheritance from his grandfather and father.

  2. يُعيذهُ باللّيالي العشرِ حيث بدا

    تَفاؤلاً بالإخاءِ التسعِ عن عَقِبه

    He seeks protection for him by the ten nights, when he first appeared,

    As a good omen of nine brothers to follow in his wake.

  3. لِذاكَ أَصبحَ يَدعوه مؤرّخهُ

    جَوادَ عشرٍ دعاءٌ لا يفنّدُ به

    Thus his chronicler has come to call him

    “The generous one of ten”—a prayer for which he is not reproached.
