أكرمْ بمن يسألُ سُؤَّالَهُ

أن يَسأَلوه قبل أن يُسْأَلُوا

Honor he who asks his question before asking,

So they ask him before they are asked.

وذلكم مِن فَرْطِ إكرامه

يرَى به التساءلَ لا يجملُ

This is from his excessive honor,

He sees interrogation unbecoming.

إنَّ ابن سلطان سِوى مُلكِه

لو يُسْألُ الدنيا فلا يَبْخَلُ

The son of the sultan, apart from his kingdom,

If asked for the world, would not be miserly.

لو رُوحه تسألُ أعطَاكَهَا

فليتق الرحمنَ مَنْ يَسْألُ

If his soul were asked for, he would give it.

So let he who asks fear the Merciful.

لا خَابَ في الحسنى له سائِلٌ

لكن يخيبُ العَذْلُ والعُذَّلُ

No asker of good from him is disappointed,

Only the unjust and wrongful are disappointed.

لو كان في عليائهِ آخراً

فإنه للأكرمِ الأولُ

If there were another after his loftiness,

He would still be the most generous first.

فلا تضاهِيه بمن دُونه

هل يستوى الأعلى أو الأسفلُ

Do not compare him to those below him,

Can the highest equal the lowest?

لهُ عَلَى الأملاكِ فضلٌ كما

فُضِّلَ في العالم المُرْسَلُ

He has preference over angels, as

The Messenger was preferred over the world.

هو المصطفى المختارُ مِن هاشم

خير الورَى نبيَّنَا الأفْضَلُ

He is the Chosen One from Hashim,

The best of creation, our superior Prophet.
