سلامٌ طَيِّبٌ كالمسك صَائِكْ

على العَلَمِ الشّهير وَمَنْ هُنَالِكْ

A greeting as sweet as musk, your eloquence

Upon the famed world and those who dwell there

وللّه الذي هنّاكَ حَمْدٌ

على تيسيره صَعْبَ المَسَالِكْ

And to God, who is present there, praise

For facilitating the difficult paths

فإنّك قد رَكِبْتَ من المعالي

فنوناً غير صاحبِهنّ هَالِكْ

You have embarked upon the highest virtues

Arts none but the perished attempted before

فقمتَ لها قيامَ ذوي اهتمامٍ

لَهُمْ في نَيْلِ أَفْضَلِهَا مَدَارِكْ

You stood for them with care of those concerned

Who seek to attain the best of them

وباللّه اسْتَعَنْتَ فكان عَوْناً

وأهل العلم مثلك أهل ذَلِكْ

With God you sought aid, and aid He became

And the learned, like you, are worthy of that

فجَاءَتْ مثل ما يَهْوَى مُحِبٌّ

ينادي بالدُّعَا الَّلهُمَّ بَارِكْ

So it came just as a lover desires

Calling out 'O God, bless!'

فيا لك من هناءٍ نِلْتَ منه

سُرُورُ الوَصْلِ من حبّ مُتَارِكْ

O what joy you obtained from it

The bliss of connection from constant love

أدَامَ اللّهُ عزَّكَ في مزيدٍ

وَحُسْنَكَ في الوجود بلا مُشَارِكْ

May God make your honor last, ever increasing

And your goodness in existence, peerless
