يا أبا إسْحَاقَ زادَ ال

لهُ في حُسْنِ حُبورِكْ

O Abu Ishaq, God has increased

His goodness in your good fortune

وغَدا شانيك ذا هَمْ

مٍ طويلٍ بِسُرورِكْ

And your affairs have become anxious

After a long time of your happiness

عمَّرَ اللهُ بِطُلاَّ

بِ النَّدى أبوابَ دُورِكْ

May God make eternal, with freshness

The doors of your houses

أَشرَقَ الدَّهرُ وما إش

راقُه إلاَّ بِنُورِكْ

The days have dawned and their dawning

Is only through your light

وأرى الأيامَ لا تَبْ

خَلُ إلاَّ بَنظيرِكْ

And I see the days cannot

Bring forth except your like

قلتُ للحاسِدِ صبرا

إذ نوَى نَيلَ صَبيرِكْ

I said to the envious, "Have patience"

When he intended to obtain your equal

أنتَ غَيْثٌ لموالي

كَ ولَيثٌ لمُثيرِكْ

You are a downpour for my friends

And a lion for your opponents

فالوَرى في بَرْدِ آصا

لِكَ أو حَرِّ هَجيرِكْ

So people in the cold of your roots

Or the heat of your resplendent deeds

لا يُنَبِّي عن مَعالي

كَ الورى مثلُ خبيرِكْ

Do not awaken to your greatness

Unlike your expert scholar

شِدْتَ عَلياكَ بتَغلي

سِك فيها وبُكورِكْ

You have tightened your belt

Over it, early in the morning and late

ظاهراً للحمدِ تُنبي

هِ على بُعْدِ ظَهيرِكْ

Appearing praiseworthy, pointing

To your distant glorious peak

كَيْفَمَا جرَّدْتَ أقلا

مَكَ أغنَتْ عن ذُكورِكْ

However much you have bared your words

They have sufficed, without your males

فكأنَّ الدَّهرَ قد سَطْ

رَ ما بينَ سُطورِكْ

It is as if time has spread out

What is between your lines

بِدَعٌ ترتَعُ منها ال

عينُ في وَشْيِ حَبيرِكْ

Innovations from which the eye drinks

In the still of your shining sea

حسْبُنا من جُودِكَ الغَم

رِ ومن فَيضِ بُحورِكْ

It suffices us from your generosity, the wine

And from the outpouring of your oceans

قد أتانا منه ما زا

دَ على شُكْرِ شُكورِكْ

There has come to us from it what has increased

Above gratitude for your gratitude

بينَ صُفْرٍ من دناني

رِكَ أو صُفرِ خُمورِكْ

Between the yellow from your gold pieces

Or the yellow of your wine

فاشفَعِ العُرْفَ بِعَرْفٍ

تَرتضيه من بَخُورِكْ

So intercede with propriety, with propriety

That you accept from your incense

وَابْقَ لا أَقصرَ صوبُ ال

مُزْنِ عن فِيحِ قُصورِكْ

And remain not falling short of the direction

Of your palace, from the scent of your lodgings
