وصلَ اهتمامُك بي فخبّرني

بصحيحٍ ما حدّثتُ عن هِمَمِكْ

Your care for me has arrived, so inform me

Of the truth of what I've said about your concerns

وعلمتُ أني صرْتُ منتَظماً

في سِلْكِ مَنْ أعليْتُ خدَمِكْ

And I knew I had become organized

Among those you have exalted your servants

فعلِقْتُ منكَ بحبلِ معرفةٍ

عقَدَ النُهى منها عُرى ذِمَمِكْ

So I clung to the rope of your knowledge

Which restraint from it tied the bonds of your blames

فإذا أراكَ الشكرُ روضَتَهُ

فاذكرْ لها ما سحّ من دِيَمِكْ

So when gratitude shows you its meadow

Remember for it what adorned your abode

جاء الرسولُ بما بعثت به

من جودِك الأوفى ومن كرمِكْ

The messenger came with what you sent

Of your most faithful generosity and your generosity

وافي بمعتصميه فوَفى

ليقينَ مُستندٍ الى عِصَمِكْ

Loyal to those who seek refuge in you, so he was loyal

To the certainty of one who relies on your protection

فكأن مستندٌ أوده درق

قرنت لتمنع يومَ مُقْتَحمِكْ

So it is as if a coat of mail I love

You have paired to prevent the day of your opponent

والخشكنانك كالأسنّة قد

ثُنِيتْ بطَعْنِكَ يومَ منْهزَمَكْ

And spears like tongues have

Been bent by your stabbing the day you were defeated

وكأنما الحلواء قد عُقِدَتْ

من ذلكَ الموصوفِ من شِيَمِكْ

And as if twisted sweets have been tied

From that described from your traits

فاحت كنشْرِكَ في يدَيْ كلِمي

وحَلَتْ كخلقك في يدَيْ كلمكْ

So it shone like your scattering in my hands a word

And settled like your creation in my hands your words

ودعاءُ عبدِك وهو غايةُ ما

في وُسْعِ منْ جازاكَ عن نِعَمكْ

And the prayer of your servant, which is the utmost

That one you have rewarded with your blessings can do

يا ربِّ سلِّمْ لي أبا حسن

ما هزّ ريحَك مِعْطَفي سلَمِكْ

O Lord deliver to me Abu Hasan

As long as the wind of you has stirred my cloak of peace
