1. أحْسِنْ بهِ من قِناعٍ

    راقَ العُيونَ جَمالا

    With a veil finer than his face

    Whose beauty outshines all eyes,

  2. حَوَى منَ الوجْهِ بدْراً

    فاقَ البدورَ كَمالا

    His cheek holds a full moon

    That exceeds all full moons in perfection.

  3. أبْدَى علَى كُلّ نوْعٍ

    تهْوَى القُلوبُ اشْتِمالا

    He displays over every type

    Hearts that yearn for inclusion,

  4. فصيّرتهُ اخْتيالاً

    خيْلُ الجمالِ مَجالا

    So I made him the epitome

    Of the horses of beauty galloping.

  5. من خالِصِ التّبْرِ جلّتْ

    صِفاتُه أنْ تُنالا

    From pure innocence his traits

    Are too sublime to attain,

  6. شمْسُ الأصيلِ حكَتْهُ

    لوْناً وحُسْناً وحالا

    The sun of the noble inscribed him

    In color, beauty, and state.

  7. مِن ناصرِ الدّينِ يحْكي

    مَناقباً وخِلالا

    From Nasir al-Din it tells

    Of virtues and fine qualities,

  8. فالجودُ قدْ مدّ منهُ

    على الوُجودِ ظِلالا

    So generosity has extended from him

    Shadows over existence.
