أبا الجَيش جُزتَ الحدَّ في المَجدِ والعُلى

فقيلَ وقُلنا ما أجلَّ وأَرفَعا

Father of the army, you have attained the utmost limit in glory and sublimity

So it was said and we said how glorious and lofty

وقد جازَ شُكري حَدَّه فالتمِس مَعي

نَديماً نكن فيما نُحاولُه مَعا

And Shukri has gone beyond the bounds of gratitude, so seek with me

A boon companion, that we may try together to attain it
