تهنّ بها خلعةً قدّمت

بأمثالها موجبات البشاره

She was adorned with a robe that foretold

Good tidings with the likes of her

ومرتبة نبَّأت بالسعود

فكانت كما قيل نعم الأمارة

And a rank that announced prosperity

Thus she was, it is said, an excellent omen

سعودك عندي زهر الربيع

وعند عدوك شقّ المراره

Your prosperity is to me the spring flower

And to your enemy the splitting of bitterness
