إِنَّ أَبا غانِمٍ حُمَيداً
غَيث عَلى المُعتَفينَ هامى
Indeed, Abu Ghanim, Humayd,
Indeed Abu Ghanim is praised
Is rain pouring upon those who seek his bounty.
A rain upon the troubled
صَوَّرَهُ اللَهُ سَيفَ حَتفٍ
وَبابَ رِزقٍ عَلى الأَنامِ
God fashioned him into a sword of death,
God has shaped him a decisive sword
And a gate of sustenance for humankind.
And a door of sustenance for people
يا مانِعَ الأَرضِ بِالعَوالي
وَالنَعَمِ الجَمَّةِ العِظامِ
O defender of the land with tall spears,
O withholder of the land with fortresses
And of the plentiful, great herds:
And abundant great bounties
لَيسَ مِنَ السوءِ في مَعاذٍ
مَن لَم يَكُن مِنكَ في ذِمامِ
None is sheltered from harm
There is no evil in Ma'ath
Who is not under your protection.
Who was not protected by you
وَما تَعَمَّدتُ فيكَ وَصفاً
إِلّا تَقَدَّمتَهُ أَمامي
And never have I attempted a description of you
And I did not intend in you an attribution
But you have outstripped it ahead of me.
Except you preceded it before me
فَقَد تَناهَت بِكَ المَعالي
وَاِنقَطَعَت مُدَّةُ الكَلامِ
For noble qualities have reached their utmost in you,
So the glories have ended in you
And the span of speech has come to an end.
And the period of speech has been cut off
أَجَدَّ شَهراً وَأَبلِ شَهراً
وَاِسلَم عَلى الدَهر أَلف عامِ
Renew one month and wear another out,
More glorious month and most glorious month
And remain safe through the ages for a thousand years.
And peace upon time for a thousand years
Sol 6.1
