فَرعٌ لهُ في المَكرُماتِ أُصولُ

يَعلو بِطولِ ثَنائِها ويَطولُ

He has a branch in generosity, with roots

That rise with the length of its praise and grow long

نزلَت بهِ أَعلَى المَنازِلِ رفعَةً

فكأنَّ إِسماعيلَ إِسماعيلُ

He attained the highest ranks in elevation

As if Isma'il were Isma'il indeed

جمعَ المَعالي والصَّميمَ بدَوحَةٍ

ثَمراتُها أَن تُجتَدى فَتُنيلُ

He gathered perfections and the essence with an encampment

Whose fruits, when sought out, are attained

هَبَّت رياحُ الوَصلِ في أَغصانِها

غُصنٌ إِلى غُصنٍ أَراهُ يَميلُ

The winds of connection blew in its branches

I see a branch inclining toward a branch

واليَوم أسعد ما يكونُ لأنَّهُ

بالسَّعدِ فيما بَعدَهُ مَوصولُ

And today is the happiest it can be, because

After it, it is connected with good fortune
