لِجَناب الأَمير نعم الجَنابُ

جاءَ يَسعى إِلَيهِ نَجلٌ مُهابُ

For the noble prince, how excellent is this prince!

A son has come seeking him, one who inspires awe.

هُوَ فرع مِن دَوحة المجد زالَت

يَوم ميلاده بِمصر الصِعاب

He is a branch from the tree of glory that declined

On the day of his birth in the hardships of Egypt.

هُوَ بَدر لَهُ بِنُور عَليّ

في سَماء السُموّ يَعلو الرِكاب

He is a full moon whose light is from Ali

Rising high in the sky of loftiness.

كَيفَ لا وَهوَ في الذَكا كَأَخيه

وَهوَ لِلحاسد المريد شِهاب

How not, and he in intelligence is like his brother,

And for the envious enemy he is a flaming meteor.

فَتَهنأ بِهِ وُقل ليَ أَرخ

مصطفى بِالرضا بهيّ يهاب

So congratulate yourself with him, and say to me, record

Mustafa with pleasure—he is the magnificent and revered one.
