أَبو حامِدٍ حَتمٌ عَلى الناسِ حَمدُهُ

لما حازَ مِن علمٍ بِهِ بانَ رُشدُهُ

Abu Hamid is praised by people for his virtue

For the knowledge he attained that shows his wisdom

غَذِيُّ عُلومٍ لَم يَزَل مُنذُ نَشئِهِ

يَلوحُ عَلى أُفقِ المَعارفِ سَعدُهُ

Seeker of sciences since his early days

His fortune shines on the horizon of knowledge

ذَكيٌّ كَأن قَد جاحَمَ النارَ ذِهنُهُ

ذَكاءً وَمِن شَمس الظَهيرةِ وَقدُه

Brilliant, as if his mind was forged by fire

With intelligence and sunlight is his wick

وَمَن حازَ في سِنِّ البُلوغِ فَضائِلاً

زَمانَ اِغتَذى بِالعِيِّ وَالجَهلِ ضِدُّه

He who attained merits in his adulthood

His opposite feasted on foolishness and ignorance
