هوَ السَلسَبيل العَذبُ مَهما سَطا الحرّ

كَسَلسالِ ثَغرٍ عَن لآليهِ يَفتَر

He is the sweet flowing spring, no matter how hot the weather grows

Like a chain of lips continuously talking of its beauty

هوَ الأَوحَدُ الباشا المُنَعَّمُ أَحمَدٌ

مُشيرُ البَرايا الأَنجَدُ الأَمجَدُ الصَدرُ

He is the unique Pasha, the blessed Ahmed

The counselor of the righteous, the most glorious and great in chest

بِهِ فازَ خَيرُ الدينِ بالأجر وَالثَنا

أَخو المأثُراتِ الشَفع وَالسؤدَدِ الوِترِ

Through him the best of faith has won reward and praise

Brother of glorious deeds, mediator and even-numbered prose

وَأَوحَدُ قواتِ المَقامات عِندَ مَن

لِدَولَتِهِ عزّ مَضى قَبلَها الفَخرُ

And unique among the forces of positions with one

Whose state glory passed, before it arrived, took pride

فَجازاهُ رَبّ العَرشِ خَيرَ جَزائِهِ

شَراباً طَهوراً حَسبَما وَرَدَ الذكرُ

So the Lord of the Throne rewarded him the best reward

A pure drink, as mentioned and recorded

وَقابَلَ رَبّ العَرشِ بالشُكرِ سَعيَهُ

وَدامَ قَريرَ العَينِ ما بَقيَ الدَهرُ

And he met the Lord of the Throne with thanks for his efforts

And the delight of his eye remained as long as time continued

وَبَشِّرهُ حَقاً بِالقُبولِ وَهَنِّهِ

فَقَد جاءَ في تاريخِهِ طَيِّهُ البِشرُ

And give him good tidings, truly of acceptance, and congratulate him

For in his history came the giver of glad tidings
