يا عَالِياً كُلَّ عالِ

مستانساً بِعَلاَةِ

O exalted one, exalted above all

Rejoicing in sublime stature

لاَ غَرو إِن حُزتَ فَهماً

عَن جُملَةِ الحَلَقَاتِ

No wonder if you surpass in understanding

The sum of all gatherings

فَقَد وَرِثتَ مَعالِى

مختارِنَا في الأَنَاةِ

For you have inherited the virtues

Of our chosen one in his grace

وفي نَسَيجِ القَوَافي

وفي فُنُونِ اللُّغَاتِ

Both in the weaving of rhymes

And in the disciplines of languages

لاَ حلقَةَ اليومَ عِندِى

مُوشِيَهَ الجَنبَاتِ

No gathering today in my view

Adorned with vigor

وَلم تَكُن حَلقَةً في

كَحلقَةٍ في فَلاَةِ

Was ever a gathering like

A gathering in wilderness
