يهنيكَ في حسب أبا اسحاقِ
شرفُ العلى ومكارم الأَخلاقِ
May you be blessed in your ancestral honor, Abu Ishaq,
You are praised for your noble pedigree, Abū Ishāq,
with the glory of lofty rank and the virtues of character.
The glory of the exalted and the generosity of character.
ياسيداً بسط النّدى حتى نضا
بالبرّ عنا حلةَ الإملاقِ
O master, you spread your bounty until you stripped
O lord who spread prosperity till it became abundant
from us, through kindness, the robe of destitution.
With your righteousness, the mantle of honor.
وأعاد فيض حياة أفنان الغنى
بين العفاة كثيرةَ الإيراقِ
And restored life's flow to the branches of wealth,
And you restored the overflowing bounty of beneficence
among seekers of bounty, abundant in foliage.
Among the poor, so very generous.
لم يخل موضع ماله من نفسه
إلا لفرط حلاوة الانفاقِ
The place his wealth held within his soul was never emptied,
No place that had your wealth remained devoid
except through the surpassing sweetness of giving.
Of you, except for your excessive openhandedness.
يا آل نبهانٍ لقد تاهت بكم
سَمَدٌ وفاقت سائر الآفاقِ
O house of Nabhan, through you she has swelled with pride—
O Banū Nabhān, you were lost through you
Samad—and surpassed all other horizons.
Extended glories surpassing all horizons.
وكأنّما قد قدرت في مالكم
للعالمين مكاسبُ الأَرزاقِ
And it is as though within your wealth were ordained
As if your wealth had been predestined
for all humankind the means of livelihood.
For all peoples, the profits of sustenance.
وكفاكم نسباً إلى درك العلى
مِننٌ لكم شُهرت على الأَعناق
And sufficient as your lineage for attaining lofty rank
Your lineage sufficed you for attaining the highest sphere-
are your benefactions, made manifest upon people's necks.
Favors upon you made renowned throughout the lands-
منن هي الأَغلال إن كُفرت وإن
شكرت ففي الأَعناق والأَطواق
Benefactions that are shackles if denied; and if
Favors which, if ungratefully rejected, are shackles
acknowledged with thanks, they rest upon necks and necklaces.
But, if received thankfully, adornments of neck and wrist.
ولأَنتَ إبراهيم في درج العلى
أَبداً على شرف المجرّة راقي
And you indeed, Ibrahim, on the steps of lofty rank,
You, Ibrāhīm, forever ascend to sublime heights
are forever ascending the heights of the Milky Way.
In prestige, elevated and sublime.
لازلتَ محروساً وعزك قاهرُ
وذَراك معمُورٌ وعُمرك باقي
May you ever remain guarded, and your might triumphant,
You remain protected, your might triumphant,
and your haven well peopled, and your life enduring.
Your dwellings prosperous, your life everlasting.
