ظَلّ التَهاني بِرَوض العَدل مَمدودُ
وَطالع الدَولة الغَراء مَسعودُ
The festivities' shadow stretched in the garden of justice
And the auspicious state's star rose fortunate
وَالدَهر لانَ لَنا قاسيه وَانشرحت
صُدورُنا وَعَلَينا خيّم الجُود
Though fate wasn't gentle with us, our chests expanded
And generosity's cloud shaded us
وَالخَصب عَما قَليل بِالجِبال يَرى
كَأَنَّهُ مِن قَديم العَهد مَوجود
The fertile land slightly appears on the mountains
As if it existed since ancient times
وَالمال يَزداد حَتّى لا يقال لَهُ
مِن كثرة إِن هَذا المال مَعدود
And money increases until it can't be said
That this money is limited
وَفي خَزائن مصر لا يَكون لَهُ
مِنها نَفاد وَباب العُسر مَسدود
In Egypt's treasuries, it won't run out
And the door of hardship is shut
حَيث الأَمين عَلَيها حافظ مَعَهُ
في لَيلة القَدر أَصل الصدق مَولود
Where the trustee protects it, with him
The origin of honesty was born on Laylat Al Qadr
وَالحَزم مَعْهُ ربا في مَهده وَعَلى
دِيوانه علَمُ الإِقبال مَعقود
Wisdom is his companion since the cradle and over
His office the flag of prosperity is raised
وَأحنفٌ دُونه في الحلم وَهوَ بِما
لَهُ مِن العَزم في الإِقدام داود
He is rightly-guided in wisdom and with his determination
In daring, he is like Dawood
وَكرُّ عَمروٍ عَلى الأَعداء يَعدله
كرّ الأَمير إِذا ما فرّت الصيد
The prince's attack on enemies equals
The prince's attack when the hunt flees
وَما ذَكاء إِياس مِن ذَكاه سِوى
مَعشار عَشر وَما في ذاكَ تَفنيد
Eiyas' intelligence only differs
From his intelligence by one-tenth, not less
يا أَيُّها الآمر الناهي بِكَ اِفتَخرت
مَناصبٌ بِكَ مِنها أَورقَ العُود
Oh you, the commander and forbider, through you
Ranks flourished, sprouting branches
وَقَد تَباهى بِتَسهيل سَمحت بِهِ
دِيوان ماليةٍ أَعياه تَعقيد
And the finance ministry you eased boasted of
The complexity you solved
وَفازَ مَن رأي علياك السَديد بِما
يَكون فيهِ لِنَفس المُلك تَأييد
Whoever saw your judicious opinion won
What supports the kingdom itself
وَطالَما كانَ قَبل الآن يَأمل أَن
تُعطى كَما تَشتَهي مِنهُ المَقاليد
For long before, he hoped you would grant
As coveted from you, the reins
فَاِحكُم بِما شئت في كُل الأُمور فَما
حُكم بِهِ تَمنَحُ الإِنصافَ مَردود
So judge however you wish in all matters, for what
You judge, justice won't reject
وَاقبل مَدائح مَملوكٍ جَوائزه
رضاك وَهوَ دواماً منكَ مَعهود
And accept the praises of a slave whose rewards are
Your satisfaction, as he's accustomed from you
وَاِسمَح لَهُ بذمام مِنكَ فَهوَ لَهُ
دُونَ المَواهب وَالأَموال مَقصود
Permit him the bridle from you, for it's his
Aim beyond gifts and money
وَللرياسة عش في مصر مُبتهجاً
بِها فَأَنتَ بما تَرجوه مَوعود
And live happily ruling Egypt
For what you wish is promised you
وَمَع شَقيقك وَالأَنجال زِد شَرَفاً
فَأَنتُمُ لِلمَعالي في الوَرى جيد
With your brother and sons gain more honor
For you are the best of creations in the world
وَالمَجد بِالشُكر لِلرحمَن مَدّ يداً
عَلى نَعيم عَلَيهِ المَرء مَحسود
And thanking the Merciful, extend glory
For blessings envied by men
وَفي اِرتِقاك العلا قالت مُؤرخةً
محمد حافظ الدِيوان مَحمود
Recording history, it said "Muhammad Hafiz
The Registrar" is praised
