مساعيك فرع النجم عنها يفرع

فحسب العدا ما يصنعون وتصنع

Your efforts are like a branch of a star from which more branches spread

It's enough what they do and what you do

اسروا الفلى لكن بمقدار ان رأبوا

بشاشتك الاولى فهشوا واقلعوا

They captured the glorious one, but to the extent that they mended

Your first smile, so they became joyful and sailed away

نسوا ان خلا فيك ان خاطب الدجا

لا وشك عن بشر الصباح يقطع

They forgot that the one who addressed the darkness resides in you

No doubt you cut off from the human the morning light

طلعت بوجه شاهق البغى دونه

بثل وعرنين الضلال يجدع

You rose with a face loftier than desire beneath it

With the howling and clamor of misguidance being uprooted

وعدت تجر الذيل كل بنائه

إليك وكل واقف يتخضع

And you came dragging the train of its entire structure

To you, and every stationary one bows down

وعرضك موفور ووفرك دونه

كتدبير حساد الامير مضيع

Your abundance is plentiful and your plenty beneath it

Like the management of the jealous prince is lost

وكم صد مات قام مجدك دونها

يحامى وجبار السموات يدفع

And how many who died, your glory rose up protecting them

It guards and the Compeller of the heavens pushes away

وحالك في الجلى كحالك قبلها

وقيت الردى من اروى لا يروع

And your state among the glorious is like your state before it

You warded off vileness from the most quenching without being frightened

فخاركافق ليس يخفى ضياؤه

وشمس الضحى من ذلك الافق تطالع

So your superiority matches, its light cannot be concealed

And the sun of the morning from that horizon rises

توقف سامي الفكر عن غورك الذي

لدى شأوه سيارة الافق طع

Lofty thought stopped short of plumbing your depth

At which the orbit of the horizon shakes

إذا أجدبت أرض دعتك فعمها

سحاب ندى عن مثله تتقشع

If a land is stricken with drought, it calls you so its barrenness

Is clouded with dew that evaporates from its like

كأن لديك المال يمسى ودائعا

إذا ما بقي حتى عليها يوزع

As if you own the money that becomes deposits by evening

When there is nothing left for it to be distributed

على وجهك البسام منا تحية

تقيم مع النعمى وان سرت تنبع

Upon your smiling face greetings from us

That establish along with bliss even if they spring from pain

عرينك مأمون وشيلك في حمى

وغصنك مياد وواديك مروع

Your den is safe and your shelter protected

Your branch lush and your valley awe-inspiring
