أَنعِم بِرُتبةِ سَيِّدٍ شَمَلَت

كُلّ الوَرى مِن فَضلِهِ المِنَنُ

You have been graced with the rank of master,

Your favors have encompassed all the land.

جاءَتكَ ثالِثةٌ لِأَول مَن

يَزهو بِحُسنِ صِفاته الزَمَنُ

Three have come to the first one

Whose virtues make time itself shine.

يا حَبَذا شَرَفٌ عَلى شَرَفٍ

وَبِما أَصابَ كِلاهُما قَمِنُ

How excellent, honor above honor,

And with what both have been endowed.

كَمياهِ قَطرٍ فَوقَ خُضرِ رُبىً

فيها تَجلَّى وَجهُكَ الحَسَنُ

Like drops of rain above green pastures

In which your beautiful face appeared.

وافَت كَما نادى مُؤرِّخُها

بِثلاثةٍ يُنفَي بِها الحَزَنُ

It has reached, as its chronicler called out,

With three, by which sorrow is dispelled.
