كَريمٌ مُضاهيهِ عَديمٌ وُجوده

كَأَن لَم يَكُن قبلُ الكرامُ الأماجدُ

A generous man, none can match him, his like is nowhere to be found

As if before him no generous and glorious men ever did abound

وَما كُنت في مَدحي لَهُ الدّهرَ واحِداً

وَلَكِنّهُ في الجودِ وَالمَجدِ واحدُ

Nor have I in praising him singled him out alone through time

But in generosity and glory he stands peerless, sublime
