المَجدُ عوفي إِذ عوفيتَ وَالكَرَمُ

وَالمَجدُ وَالدستُ وَالتَوقيعُ وَالقَلَمُ

Glory is restored when you are restored, and generosity,

Glory, authority, signature and pen,

وَسِرُّ كُل بِما أُوتيتَ مِن فَرَجٍ

وَزالَ عَنكَ إِلى أَعدائِكَ الأَلَمُ

And the secret of all you were given of relief,

And pain has gone from you to your enemies.

صَحَّت بِصِحَّتِكَ الأَحوالُ وَاِبتَهَجَت

بِكَ الوِزارَةُ وَاِهتَزَّت لَكَ الهِمَمُ

The conditions became healthy with your health and

The ministry rejoiced and the ambitions shook for you.

وَعادَها عيدُ أُنسٍ مِنكَ وَاِتَّصَلَت

بِها المَكارِمُ وَاِنهَلَّت بِها الديمُ

And it regained a feast of intimacy from you and virtues connected with it

And the rains poured on it.

وَراجَعَ الشَمسَ نورٌ كانَ فارَقَها

لَمّا أَطافَت بِكَ الأَلطافُ وَالنِعَمُ

A light that had left the sun returned to it

When favors and blessings revolved around you.

وَعادَ لِلبَدرِ نورٌ حَفّ هالَتَهُ

كَأَنَّما فَقدُهُ في جِسمِهِ سَقَمُ

The moon regained a light that had made it disappear

As if its loss in its body was a disease.

وَلاحَ بَرقُكَ لي مِن عارضَي عَلَمٍ

وَأَنتَ وَاللَه ذاكَ المُفرَدُ العَلَمُ

Your lightning flashed to me from the flank of a flag,

And by God you are that unique flag.

ما يَنزِلُ الوَبلُ إِلّا عِندَ مَنطقه

ما يَسقُطُ الغَيثُ إِلّا حينَ يَبتَسِمُ

Dew does not fall except at its place of descent,

Rain does not pour except when it smiles.

يُسمى بِخَيرٍ لدينٍ أَو لِمَملَكَةٍ

أَبداهُ مالِكُها فاِنجابَتِ الظلمُ

He who is called good for religion or kingdom

Its owner initiated so injustice responded.

ذاكَ المُشيرُ الَّذي لا نِدَّ يُشبِهُهُ

وَكَيفَ يَشتَبِهُ المَخدومُ وَالخَدَمُ

That advisor whom no equal resembles him

How can the served one resemble the servants?

تَفنَّنَ الكُلّ في تَفضيلِ غُرَّتِهِ

وَزيدَ مِن بَعضِهِم في ذَلِكَ النَغَمُ

All were varied in extolling his virtue

And some of them increased in that tune.

تَساهَموا كَيفَ شاؤوا في مَحاسِنِهِ

وَشارَكَ العُربَ في فَخرٍ بِهِ العجمُ

They shared however they wished in his virtues

And the non-Arabs shared the Arabs in boasting through him.

وَأخلصَ اللَهُ للإِسلام نُصرَتُهُ

وَلِلمُشيرِ إِذا ما أُخفرَت ذِمَم

And God made his support sincere to Islam

And to the advisor when covenants are violated.

لِكَي نَرى كُلّ ما كُنّا نُؤَمِّلُهُ

وَإِن تَقَلَّبَ في آلائِهِ الأُمَمُ

So we see all that we were hoping for

Even if days alternate among the nations.

وَما أَخُصّكَ في بُرءٍ بِتَهنِئَةٍ

قَد سُرّ مِنها الوَرى وَالسَهلُ وَالعَلَمُ

I do not distinguish you in innocence with congratulations

The land, plains and flags have rejoiced in it.

إِذا سُعِدتَ فَكُلّ الناسِ قَد سُعِدوا

وَإِن سَلِمتَ فَكُلّ الناسِ قَد سَلِموا

When you are fortunate then all people have been fortunate

And when you are safe then all people are safe.
