لله مَنْزِلٌ جابرٍ منْ منزِلٍ

فيه الكرامةُ للمحبِّ الزائرِ

God has a house built by the generous Jabir,

Where the noble visitor is honored.

رُفعَتْ قواعده وشيد بناؤه

لمكارمٍ وأكارمٍ وأكابر

Its foundations were raised and its structure built

With generosity, nobility, and greatness.

مَلأَت قلوب الزائرين مَسَرَّةً

فَغَدَتْ تقرّ بها عيون النَّاظر

It fills the hearts of visitors with joy,

Making their watching eyes content.

من كلِّ ما جمعت بخدمة جابرٍ

من شادنٍ أحوى وليثٍ خادر

With all that Jabir gathered in service,

Of mighty lions and sleeping wolves.

حاز الشَّجاعة والسَّماحةَ فارتقى

رتب العُلى من سؤدد ومفاخر

He attained courage and generosity, thus ascending

To the highest ranks of glory and pride.

تَرِدُ العُفاة مناهلاً من جوده

الوافي وتصدُرُ بالعَطاء الوافر

The destitute come to its springs of his endless generosity

That satisfies and overflows with bounty.

شَهِدَتْ مبانيه بحسن صنيعه

وبما يجدّد من بديع مآثر

Its buildings bear witness to his good work

And the wonders he renews in splendid feats.

حلَّ الأَميرُ أبو المكارم جابرٌ

فيها فزانَتْ بالبهاء الباهر

The generous prince Abu al-Makarim Jabir

Stayed in it, so it shined with splendid radiance.

ولقَدْ نَزَلْتُ بها فقلتُ مؤرِّخاً

دارُ الإِمارة قد بُنِيتِ بجابر

And when I stayed in it, I said as a chronicler:

The house of emirate was built by Jabir.
