إِنَّ قَلبي وَمِقوَلي قَد أَرَقّا

لِلمُقِرّ الأَسمى الشهابيِّ أَحمَد

My heart and my words have lost sleep

For the supremely bright, meteoric Ahmad

مِن لِساني ذكرانِ ذكرُ دُعاءٍ

ثُم ذكرٌ بِهِ الثَناءُ مُخَلَّد

From my tongue are mentions, mention of prayer

Then mention through which praise is immortalized

وَبِقَلبي حُبّانِ حُبُّ طباعٍ

ثُمَ حُبٌّ لِجُودِهِ قَد تَأَكَّد

And in my heart are two loves, love of disposition

Then love for his generosity that is certain

أَبطَحِيٌّ فَخارُهُ عُمريٌّ

مَحيَوِيٌ لَهُ المَكارِمُ تُسنَد

An Abtahi, whose pride is Umar

A Mahyawi, to whom virtues are attributed

هُوَ سِرُّ المُلوكِ في كُلِّ أَمرٍ

فَعَلَيهِ خَناصِرُ المُلكِ تُعقَد

He is the secret of kings in every matter

So the belts of kingship are fastened to him

حُبُّهُ وَاجِبٌ عَلى كُلِّ مَن آ

مَنَ بِاللَهِ وَالرَسولِ مُحَمَّد

Love of him is an obligation on everyone who believes

In God and the Messenger Muhammad

لابنِ فَضلِ الإِلهِ فَضلٌ عَلينا

وَتَمامُ الإِحسانِ وَالعَودُ أَحمَد

To the son of the grace of God, grace upon us

And the perfection of kindness and return, Ahmad
