الحمد لله إذ زمانٌ
حلا لنا بالهنا جلاله
Praise be to God, for in my time,
its splendor has grown sweet for us with bliss,
بكافلٍ للرجا وزير
يرضع أبناءَنا نواله
through a vizier, guarantor of hope,
whose largesse suckles our children.
فحبَّذا برّه رضاعاً
وحبَّذا رأيه كفاله
How excellent his beneficence as nursing!
And how excellent his judgment as guardianship!
Sol 5.6
