سَعيد العلا أَحيا رُسوم المَراحمِ

بذكر أَبيه الصَدر ماضي العَزائمِ

Sa'id Al A'la revived the traditions of compassion

By mentioning his father Al Sadr, resolute in determination

وَجدّد لما قامَ بِالأَمر موسماً

لحضرته مِن فَيض بَحر المَكارم

And he renewed for the authority a season

Of abundance from the sea of generosity

وَخلد طُول الدَهر آثاره الَّتي

بِها سادَ في جَنات أَرحم راحم

And immortalized throughout ages his traces

By which he excelled in the gardens of the most compassionate

فَأَصبح عَنهُ راضِياً في ضَريحه

لَهُ قاضِياً بِالسَبق عِندَ التحاكم

So he rests satisfied in his tomb

With him as judge preceding in arbitration

وَقالَت لَنا عَلياه في مصر أَرّخوا

بِعَدل سَعيد حل خَير المَواسم

And Alia told us in Egypt record

The justice of Sa'id, best of seasons
