اللَهُ أَعطاكَ المَهابَةَ وَالتُقى

وَأَحَلَّ بَيتَكَ في العَديدِ الأَكثَرِ

God has given you dignity and piety

And settled your house among the most numerous

وأَقَرَّ عَينَكَ يَومَ وَقعَةِ خازِرٍ

وَالخَيلُ تَعثُر بِالقَنا المُتَكَسِّرِ

And delighted your eye on the day of the battle of Khazir

With horses stumbling over the broken canal

انّي مَدَحتُكَ إِذ نَبا بيَ مَنزِلي

وَذَمَمتُ اخوانَ الغِنى مِن مَعشَرِ

I praised you when the news reached me in my abode

And blamed the brethren of wealth among the tribe

وَعَرَفتُ أَنَّكَ لا تُخَيِّبُ مِدحَتي

وَمَتى أَكُن بسَبيلِ خَيرٍ أَشكُرِ

And I knew that you would not disappoint my praise

And whenever I am on the path of good, I am grateful

فَهَلُمَّ نَحوي مِن يَمينِكَ نَفحَةٌ

انَّ الزَمانَ أَلَحَّ يابنَ الأَشتَرِ

So come closer to me from your right, a whiff

Indeed time insists, O son of Ashtar
