يا سراجاً لما سمت باسمه الشم

س غدا البدر دونها في انحطاط

O lantern for which the sun was named,

The moon declined underneath it into descent.

أنت بحر نداك موج وألفا

ظك در وصنع يمناك شاطي

You are an ocean, your calling is a wave, and your thousands,

Your pearls and your making are a shore for the right hand.

لا تلمني إذا نظمت معاني

ك فمن در فيك كان التقاطي

Do not blame me if I compose your meanings,

For he who has a pearl in you was pickup.

أنت ألغزت في اسم ذات رقاع

لم تجاهد وكم غدت في رباط

You solved in the name of a gentle nature,

You did not struggle yet you became firmly tied.

خمساها عشر وللعشر فيها

خطوات براحة وانبساط

Fifteen and the ten in it,

Steps comfortably and openly.

حازها تابع المجلي فحاز ال

سبق من دونه بغير اشتراط

The follower of assembly took it, so he took

Preceding without conditions.

مذ علاها في أول الصف أضحى

كسليمان فوق متن البساط

Since the highest ranked him in the first line, he became

Like Solomon above the carpet's expanse.
