إلى المُعتلي عالَيتُ هَمَّي طَالِباً

لِكَرَّتِه إنَّ الكَريمَ يَعودُ

To the one mounted aloft, I raise my worries

Seeking his generosity, for the generous returns

هُمامٌ أَراه جُودُه سُبُل العُلا

وَعَلَّمَهُ الإِحسانَ كَيفَ يَسودُ

Ambitions I see, his munificence paves the way to glory

And taught him benevolence, how it prevails

نَفَى الذَمّ عَنهُ أن طي برُوده

عَفافٌ عَلَى سِن الشَّباب وجودُ

He dispelled the blame from him, his cool composure

Chastity upon the prime of youth and munificence

تُؤدِّى إِلَينا أَنه سِبطُ أَحمدٍ

مَخايِلُ فيهِ لِلهُدى وَشُهودُ

He fulfills for us that he is the grandson of Ahmed

Michael in him for guidance and witnesses

حنَانَيكَ إِنَّ الماءَ قَد بَلَغَ الزُّبى

وأنحَت رَزايا ما لَهُنَّ عَديدُ

Your tenderness, indeed the water has reached the flowers

And bent branches without number

ظَمِئتُ إِلَى صافِي الهَواءِ وَطَلقِهِ

فَهَل لي يَوماً في رِضاكَ ورُودُ

I thirst for the clear, open air

So will I have a day in your acceptance and return?

ولي حرمةٌ حاشا لِمِثلك أن يُرى

مضيعاً لها وهو الغداة شهيدُ

I have a sanctity, it cannot be for the likes of you

To be seen neglecting it, while at dawn still living

فلا يَعرَ من رُحماكمُ مَن عليكمُ

مطارف مما حاكَهُ وبرودُ

So none who relies on your mercies is denied

Diversion from what worries and bothers him

جَواهِر شعرٍ شاكلَ المَجدَ درها

كَما شاكَلت جيدَ الفتاةِ عُقودُ

Jewels of poetry, resembling glory in its pearls

As resembling the necklace the neck of the maiden
