إمامَ الهدى سعدٌ وفأل مباركُ

وإقبالُ عِزّ ليس فيه مشاركُ

Leader of guidance, Saad is blessed and auspicious,

And good fortune of honor has no partner,

وفَصْدٌ لماءِ الجود في الناس فاصدٌ

وبُرْءٌ لك الأعداءُ فيه تُتاركُ

And streaming for the water of generosity among people is streaming,

And innocence for you the enemies in it you abandon,

تَفَجَّرَ من يُمْناك باليُمْن للعُلا

دَمٌ لدمِ الأَعداءِ ما عِشْتَ سافكُ

It gushed from your right hand with good fortune for the high,

Blood for the blood of enemies, as long as you live pouring,

دم أَعْقَبَتْهُ صحَّةٌ وسلامةٌ

وحفَّتْ به قبل الأنامِ الملائِكُ

Blood that was followed by health and safety,

And the angels before the people surrounded it,

لِنَفْسِ طبيبٍ جَسَّ عِرْفَكَ سُؤْلُها

فقد جَسّ ما لا يَنْتَهِيه مُماسِك

For the soul of a physician who examined your honor his question,

For he examined what your ideals do not end,

يَدا مَلِكٍ ما زال مُذْ كان فيهما

لبَذْلِ العطايا والمنَايا مَسالِكُ

The hand of a king that has not stopped since there was in them

For giving gifts and deaths paths,

فَوَجْهُ الهدَى رَيَّانُ أَبْيَضُ ناصِعٌ

كما بِكَ وَجْهُ الشِّرْكِ أَسْودُ حالكُ

So the face of guidance is fresh and white radiant,

As with you the face of polytheism is black gloomy,

بعثت ُ بمدحي قبلَ كلّ هدِيّةٍ

لأَني له دونَ الهديَّةِ مالكُ

I was sent with my praise before any gift,

Because without the gift I own it,

ولا شيءَ غيرَ المدحِ يَبْقَى لأنه

مقيمٌ جديدٌ والهدايا هوالكُ

And nothing but praise remains because it

Is lasting new and gifts transient,

ولو كنتُ أَحْوِي ما على الأرضَ كُلَّه

بعثتُ به لطْفاً وما أنا آفكُ

And if I contained what is on earth all of it

I would send it out of kindness and I do not refrain,

ولولا خطوبٌ عُفْنَ مالِيَ لم تَرُحْ

هداياه منّي وهْيَ عنك مَواسِكُ

And were it not for misfortunes, my money ran out,

His gifts from me and it from you would not cease,

ولكنّه لِما مَضَى المالُ وانْقَضَى

بعثتُ بودٍّ ماله عنك فارِكُ

But because the money is gone and depleted,

I sent with love which without you I abandon,

ومدحٍ إذا أضحى المديح مشبه

غدا وهو حسن للعلا وبواتكُ

And praise when praise becomes similar

It becomes in the morning beautiful to the high and your temple,

قواف بواكٍ إن عداك بديعها

وإن يممت علياك فهي ضواحكُ

Creating faces if without you unique,

And if you incline to your family they are laughs,
