يا له حُبّا اِتَّحَد
في حَشا القلبِ والجَسَد
O what a love that is united
In the inner heart and body
كُلَّما ظنَّ أنَّه
بلغَ الشَّأوَ والأمَد
Whenever it thought it
Reached its peak and extent
عَنَّ مِنه تَزايُدٌ
لَم يَجُل قطُّ في خَلَد
It increased from it
Never ending in eternity
فَهُوَ اليومَ لا يُقَا
سُ بشيءٍ ولاَ يَحُد
So today it cannot
Be compared or limited
أنصفِ النفسَ أيها الش
شِعر وأبلغ في ذا الصَّدَد
Do justice, O poetry, and convey well this matter
Indeed this Pasha alone
إنَّ هذَا الباشا التِّهَا
مِىُ في مَجدِهِ انفَرَد
Exceeded in his glory
His exceptional being, widespread reputation
شخصُه الفذُّ ذائعُ الص
صيتِ في كلِّ مَا بَلَد
In every city and country
And when courage and valor are mentioned
وإذا تُذكَرُ الشَجَا
عةُ والبأسُ والجَلَد
People recall his status in war if it has pillars
So he is the generous one
ذَكَرَ الناسُ شأنَه
في الوغَى إن لها صَمَد
With gifts that could not be counted
What grace he has with my parents
فَهوَ الباذِلُ العَطا
يَا التي لَم تكُن تُعَد
Of great and generous deeds
And new gifts
كم له عِندَ والِدي
مِن صَنيعٍ جَزلٍ وَيَد
That are sought from him constantly
And care surrounding me
وعَطايا جديدةٍ
تُقتَفَي منه بالأَجَد
Beyond what I want
The care of the affectionate father
واحتِفاءٍ يَحُوطُنِي
به فوقَ الذِي أوَد
Or the mother for her child
And this suffices and is enough
احتِفاءٍ الأبِ الحَنُو
نِ أوِ الأُمِّ بِالوَلَد
He honored the wedding with his presence
Fulfilling what he promised
ها هُوَ اليومَ زَائِري
وكفانِي هَذا وَقَد
So welcome to the dignitary
Who has arrived
شرَّفَ العُرسَ بالحُضو
رِ وَفاءً بمَا وَعَد
O what a celebration we see
Including the lion and lion cub
فَهَنيئاً ومرحَباً
بالهُمَامِ الذي وَرَد
And Ibrahim his son
Among his pillars of support
يا لَهَا حَفلةً نرَى
ضِمنَها الشبلَ والأسَد
The truthful youth whom
Mention of him was well received
وبإبرَاهيمَ ابنهِ
بينَ أخدَانِه العَمَد
Delight of the eye, joy of the soul
If difficulties afflict him
والفتَى الصَّادِقِ الذي
ذكرُه سَار واطَّرَد
O you the guest whom
All comfort came with
قرة العين سلوة الن
نفس إن يعرها نكد
How much with you we have
Thankful days that last
أيها الزائر الذي
كل أنس معه وفد
For me in life they remain
Pillars of pride and honor
كم لكم عندنا أيا
دي شكرانها وطد
No one can fully convey it
As deserved
لي بها ما بقيت حَي
يَا إلى الفخر مستند
ليس يوفي الثناء عن
ها كما ينبغي أحد
