لِيوسف في خَير البِقاع مَناقبُ

بِها في ظِلال العَدل تَعلو مَراتبُ

Yusuf has virtues in the best of lands

With them, under the shade of justice, ranks are raised

وَهمَّتُه في كُل أَمرٍ مُضيئةٌ

بِنور بِهِ في مَصر تُجلى غَياهب

And his ambition in every matter is luminous

With a light by which in Egypt gloom is dispelled

وفيهِ صِفات كَلَّ عَن حَصرِ بَعضِها

بِأَسنى سِجلات الفَضائل حاسب

And he has traits beyond counting

By the most splendid registers of virtues reckoned

وَرتبتُهُ العُليا بِهِ قَد تَشرَّفت

وَلاحَت تُهنّيها لَديهِ الكَواكب

And his supreme rank through him has been ennobled

And the planets have shone congratulating it before him

فَلا زالَ بِالتَوفيق يَسمو وَيَرتقي

وَتَصفو لَهُ بَينَ الأَنام مَشارب

So he continues with success to rise and ascend

And between people destinations are purified for him

وَيَخدمه الإقبال في دَولة العُلا

وَتَسمو بِهِ طُول الزَمان مَناصب

And fortune serves him in the state of sublimity

And through him positions endure the length of time
