تقارنه في كل أمر فضيلة
ويلبس في أطواره ما يلائم
Virtue accompanies him in every matter.
And in each of his states, he wears what is fitting.
تمر القضايا طيبات بحمده
فكل مقام أو سلوك مكارم
Affairs pass pleasantly, thanks to his praise.
For every station or course of conduct is marked by noble qualities.
كأن مياه البدر في ماء وجهه
يرقرقها من جوهر البشر ساجم
It is as though the moon’s waters were in the radiance of his face.
He makes them shimmer, flowing from the essence of cheerfulness.
يحل وفي الآفاق رحلة عزمه
فإن سار فالأفلاك تلك العزائم
He alights, while the journey of his resolve reaches across the horizons.
And if he travels, the celestial spheres are those ambitions.
له الحكم بعد الله في أمر دهره
ولكن عليه مكسب الحمد حاكم
After God, he has authority over the affairs of his age.
Yet the duty to earn praise governs him.
وما تكسب الأسباب محمود فعله
ولكن له خلق من الحمد لازم
Circumstances do not earn the credit for his praiseworthy deeds.
Rather, a praiseworthy character is inseparable from him.
