وَأَحمَرَ يَحكي الشَمسَ شَكلاً وَصورَةً

فَأَوصافُهُ مُشتَقَّةٌ من صِفاتِهِ

Redness tells of the sun, its shape and form

Its descriptions derived from its attributes

فَاِن قيلَ دينارٌ فَقَد صَدَقَ اِسمُهُ

وَاِن قيلَ أَلف كانَ بَعضَ سِماتِهِ

If called a gold coin, its name is true

If called one thousand, that's some of its traits

بَديعٌ فَلَم يُطبَع عَلى الدَهر مِثلُهُ

وَلا ضُرِبَت أَضرابُهُ لِسَراتِه

Marvelous, none like it stamped onto time

Nor similar to its configurations of nobility

فَقَد أَبرَزَتهُ دَولَةٌ فَلَكِيَّةٌ

أَقامَ بِها الاِقبالُ صَدرَ قَناتِهِ

It was brought out by a celestial revolution

With it fortune erected its necklace

وَصارَ إِلى شاهانشاهَ اِنتِسابُهُ

عَلى أَنَّهُ مُستَصغَرٌ لِعُفاتِهِ

Its lineage ascends to the King of Kings

As if it's a diminutive of his virtues

يُخَبِّرُ أَني َبقى سِنين كَوَزنِهِ

لِتَستَبشِر الدُنيا بِطولِ حَياتِهِ

Informing that it will remain years equal to its weight

So the world rejoices in the length of its life

تَأَنَّقَ فيهِ عَبدُهُ وَاِبنُ عَبدِهِ

وَغَرسُ أَياديهِ وَكافي كِفاتِهِ

His servant adorned himself in it, and the son of his servant

And the scion of his hands, and enough of its capacities
