ألا يا جبرَائِيلٌ نَمَاكَ دُودَ

إلى عَلَياء نَمَتكَ لها الجُدُودُ

O Gabriel! Your sleep was infested with worms

Yet to the Exalted your growth brought rewards

وَسمَّاكَ الأمينَ وذي سُماةٌ

بها تعلُو إذَا حَضَرَ الوفُودُ

And you were named the Trustworthy, by the Namers

With it you rise when the delegations come

وأحضَرَكَ الكِرامَ لِتَفتَفِيهَا

وليتَ زَمانَ حضرَتِهِ يَعودُ

And it brought you close to the Generous

Would that the time of your presence recur

وأُمُّكَ في الورَى عَصمَاءُ عِقدٍ

يَتِيَمتُهُ إذَا نُظِمَ العُقُود

Your mother in the world is a protected pearl

An orphan without her when contracts are bound

لَها صُبحٌ تَبَلَجَّ تحت لَيلٍ

وألمَى وَاضحٍ عَسِلٌ بَرُودُ

For her is a morning that shone under night

And hopes of clarity, cool honey
