قد أنعمَ اللهُ على مصرَ ومنّ

بنعمةٍ تعدُّ من أسْنى المِننْ

God has blessed Egypt and gave it

A blessing that counts among the best gifts

وفق إسماعيل وهو المؤتمنْ

فمن يُسامى صادقَ الوعدِ فمنْ

He supported Ismail, who is the trusted one

So who would compete with the truthful in his promise?

كم ظهرتْ في عهده مفاخرْ

فاقتْ به الأوائلُ الأواخرْ

Under his rule many glories appeared

The early times and the later times were surpassed

برُّ الندى كالنيل وهو زاخرْ

يجودُ فيضُه بإسعاد الوطن

The dew of prosperity is like the Nile, abundant

Its bounty flows to make the nation happy

في مصره كل المزايا حازها

والعدلُ في أيامه الغرِّ زها

In his Egypt, it has gained all merits

And justice, in his days it took root

وقد أجادَ للعلا إعزازها

وخَاطِبُ الحَسْنا يغالي في الثمنْ

He mastered honoring knowledge

And the orator exaggerates its price

أيامه جميعُها مواسمُ

نواسمُ الأنس بها بواسمُ

His days are all blessed seasons

Seasons of intimacy, in it are intimacies

وكم له حول الحمى مراسمُ

تجري بعدله إلى أهدى سنن

And he has around the sanctuary many rituals

That flow with his justice to the best traditions

في دولة الأمانِ والأماني

عزُّ الحمى لديه في ضمانِ

In the state of security and hopes

The pride of the sanctuary lies in his guarantee

فالذهبُ الأكسيرُ كالجمانِ

عن جابرٍ يروى غِنى هذا الزمنْ

So gold is like elixir

As Jabir narrates the richness of this time

لا غروَ أن توالت الأفراحُ

وقد زها الأنسُ والانشراحُ

No wonder that joys kept coming

And intimacy and comfort adorned it

ودار في روح التهاني راحُ

وغردَ القمريُّ على أعلى فَننْ

And the spirit of congratulations rested in it

And the moon-like one sang at the highest art

عرسُ المشير ثالثِ الأنجالِ

في غاية التبجيلِ والجمالِ

The wedding of the third son of the Marshal

Is the utmost veneration and beauty

وصف سَناه واسعُ المجالِ

يَكِلُّ عن بيانه أولو اللُّسنْ

Describing his loveliness has ample range

That makes eloquent tongues weary in expressing it

فراحُه في أقفَنا كواكبُ

أنوارُها تزهو بها مواكبُ

Its joys in our horizons are like planets

Its lights adorned with it processions

وأنعمٌ من جوده سواكبُ

في السر درُّها وفي العلنْ

And gifts of his generosity are planets

Whose pearls are secret and whose are public

يتيه عجباً حَسنٌ بعُرسِه

كعجبهِ قدماً بعالى دَرْسِه

Amazement is lost in the beauty of his wedding

Like amazement at the height of his position

فليقتطفْ داني الجنى من غرسه

كما اجتنى من العلوم كلَّ فنْ

So let the intimate pluck fruits from his planting

As he has gathered from knowledge every art

نسيمُ أنس عرسِه هبَّتْ رخا

ومن غَوالي طيبه شَممْنا الرخا

The gentle breeze of the intimacy of his wedding blew

And from its beauty vales we smelled the scent

من حاسدِ عوَّذه من أرخا

بالحسنين عوذوا صفواً حسن

From an envious one, his protected him from harm

With beauty they ward off one of beautiful traits
