وحقِّ تَوَرُّدِ الخَجَل

وطِيبِ تَقَرُّبِ الأملِ

By the right of the bashfulness' blush

And the goodness of hope's approach

وحقّ الحُبّ إذْ يأتي

بِحسنِ تَكَسُّرِ المُقَل

And the right of love when it comes

With the beauty of the brokenness of passion

وما أبْدَاه مَن أهوا

ه مِن صَدٍّ ومِن عِلَلِ

And what the loved one has initiated

Of refusal and excuses

وحقّكِ يا أميري ظَلْ

تَ في قَصْفٍ وفِي جَذَل

And your right, my prince, you remained

In hardship and in poverty

لشَعْرُكَ مُشْبِهُ الماءِ الْ

لَذي يُروِي صَدَى الغُلَلِ

Your poetry resembles water

That quenches the thirst of the thirsty

وثوبِ البُرءِ يَلْبَسُه الْ

لَذِي أشْفى على العِلل

And the dress of innocence, worn

By the one who healed all illnesses

وحُلّتُه إذا نُشِرتْ

تُضعضِع سائرَ الْحُلَل

And his attire when laid out

Would diminish all other garments

فَقوْلي كلُّه صِدقٌ

وعبدُ اللّه يَشهَد لي

So my words are all truthful

And Abdullah bears witness for me
