ما إِن لِشَأوٍ في البَيانِ يُبينُ

تَدنو لِمَدحِكَ غايَةً وَتَبينُ

No eloquence can express and make clear

How close it draws in praising you, and appear

شَأوٌ لَو الحَدَقِيُّ حاوَلَ مِثلَهُ

أَعيا البَيانَ لَدَيهِ وَالتَبيينُ

Were eloquence to try the like of this

It would fail expressing it and make all of this clear

إيتاءَ حَقِّ الشُكرِ حَقُّ خَليفَةٍ

تَزَيُّنُ الدُنيا بِهِ وَالدينُ

Giving due thanks is the right of a Caliph

With it the world is adorned, and faith is sincere

تَغشى الأُمرُ بِفِكرَةٍ وَقادَةِ

الظَنِّ مِنها في الأُمورِ يَقينُ

A matter comes overshadowed with an idea and leadership

Suspicion about it in affairs becomes clear

يا طالَما صَدَّت مُقارَعَةَ الظَبيِ

إِنَّ العُقولَ مَعاقِلٌ وَحُصونُ

O how often it blocked the attack of an enemy

Indeed strongholds are minds and fortresses

فَاِسلَم أَميرَ المُؤمِنينَ وَلا تَزَل

تُعطي مُناكَ وَما تُريدُ يَكونُ

So submit to the Prince of the Faithful and do not stop

Giving your loyalty, and what you want will happen

في دَولَةٍ غَرّاءَ عُثمانِيَّةٌ

مُتَكَنِّفاها النَصرَ وَالتَمكينُ

In a glorious Ottoman state

Enveloped with victory and enablement
