يا مَليك الوَرى وَلَيث الكَتائبْ

وَهِزبرَ الشَرى وَغَيث السحائبْ

O king of the land and lion of armies

Destroyer of evil and rain of clouds

كُنتَ تَحت الثَرى فَمازلتُ أَعلو

بِكَ حَتّى عُرفتَ بَين المَواكب

You were under the ground but I kept rising

With you until you were known among the processions

فَوشى بي لَدى جَنابك واشٍ

رام خَفضي كَيما يَنال المآرب

So he accused me falsely in your noble presence

Seeking to lower me so he can attain his goals

وَادّعى أَنني اِختَلَست وَحَسبي

أَن سهم ادّعائه غَير صائب

And claimed that I had stolen, and it suffices me

That the arrow of his claim is not right

وَلَكَم مِن وَقائعٍ غَير هذي

صارَ فيها نَصيره شرّ كاتب

And how many incidents other than this

Where his supporter was the evilest writer

غرّه ما مَضى وَعَما قَليلٍ

يَنجلي أَمره لَماش وَراكب

Deceived by the past and soon

His matter will be uncovered to observers and riders

وَعلى رَغمه أَعيش عَزيزاً

في أَمان مِن غائِلات النَوائب

And despite him I live honored

Safe from the calamities of adversities

وَبما أَشتَهي كَما شئت أَحظى

في رِحاب السَعيد رَب المَناقب

And I enjoy as I wish in the land

Of the happy Lord of sublime traits

خَلد اللَه ملكه في دِيار

قَد حَباها مِن بَحره بِالمَواهب

May God make his kingdom eternal in lands

That He has gifted with his ocean of boons

وَبِهِ لَم تَزَل عَلى كُل أَرض

تَتَباهى في شَرقِها وَالمَغارب

And through him all lands have always

Boasted in their east and their west

ما بَدَت في سَما العَدالة شَمس

وَتَلاها بَدرٌ أَزال الغَياهب

Since the sun of justice rose

And the moon that dispelled darkness followed
