قاضي القضاة أعزَّ الله جانبه

أولى بقصدي وتأميلي وأشعاري

The chief justice, may God strengthen his side,

Is foremost in my intentions, hopes, and poetry.

إني وصبحي وشمس الدين أولهم

إلى الدعاء له سباق مضمار

Myself, my dawn, and the sun of faith preceded,

Racing to pray for him in earnest.

إذا ذكرناه فاح العطر أجمعه

فكلنا فيه عطارُ ابن عطار

When we mention him, fragrance overflows,

For through him we are all perfumers, son of perfumers.
