أَصبَحَ في قَيدِكَ السَماحَةُ وَال

جودُ وَفَضلُ الصَلاحِ وَالحَسبُ

Generosity and benevolence are now captive to you

As are excellence, virtue, and nobility

لا بَطِرٌ إِن تَتابَعَت نِعَمٌ

وَصابِرٌ في البَلاءِ مُحتَسِبُ

Not boastful when favors are successive

And patient in tribulation, awaiting reward

بَرَّزتَ سَبقَ الجِيادِ في مَهَلٍ

وَقَصَّرَت دونَ سَعيِكَ العَرَبُ

You surpassed racing steeds in an easy trot

And the Arabs lagged behind your effort
