أما العمادُ فقد تضاعفَ شكرُه

نعماكَ شكر الرَّوض نُعمى الصَيِّبِ

The pillar has redoubled his thanks,

Your blessing, the garden's thanks for the cloud's blessing.

لعمامةٍ ذهبيةٍ كغمامةٍ

يبدو بها برقُ الطِّرازِ المغربي

For a golden turban like a cloud,

In it appears the Maghribi brocade's lightning.

ما كان أَحسنَ حاله لو أَنّه

شُفعت عمامته بثوب مُذهبِ

How good would be his state if

His turban was matched with a gilded robe.
