إنَّ الممالك في صدارة أحمد
أَضْحَتْ بطيبِ مَسَرَّةٍ وهناء
The kingdoms at the fore of Ahmad
Have become, with the perfume of joy and bliss,
ضحكت به دار السَّعادة بعدما
أَبكَتْ عليه أَعْيُنَ الزوراء
The abode of happiness laughed with him after
The eyes of the deceitful had wept over him.
للدولة العلياء في سلطانها
أَرّخ تصدّر مدحت العلياء
For the supreme state in its sultanate
The supreme eulogy dated its heading.
