أَلا هاتِها راحاً لَها ريحُ عَنبَرِ

عَلى حِسِّ طَنبورٍ وَإيقاعِ مَزهَرِ

Behold her coming, with a fragrance like ambergris

To a mellow tambour's tune and flowery cadence.

فَلِلدَولَةِ الحَسناءِ جيدٌ مُقَلَّدٌ

بِجَوهَرِ تَدبيرِ الحُسَينِ بنِ جَوهَرِ

For the fair state a necklace is set with gems

By the skilled hand of Husayn son of Jawhar.

أَخو هِمَمٍ غُرٍّ إِذا هُوَ حَثَّها

لِتَلحَقَ بِالعَلياءِ لَم تَتَعَثَّرِ

A brother of lofty aspiration, when he urged her on

To attain the heights, she did not stumble.

إِذا قائِدُ القَوّادِ أَعمَلَ رَأيَهُ

رَأى نَفسَهُ ما بَينَ مَجدٍ وَمَفخَرِ

When the leader of leaders puts his mind to work

He sees himself mid glory and pride.
