قِدِم الأميرُ أخو الأميـ

ـرِ أبو الحسين المُصْعَبُ

The prince, brother of the prince

Abu Al-Hussein Al-Mus'ab has arrived

فالأهلُ والسهلُ المرَيـ

ـعُ لوجهه والمَرْحَبُ

So the family and fertile plains

Welcome him with greetings

وعلى السعادة تُبتَنى

حُجْراتُهُ وتُطنَّبُ

In his palace of good fortune

Chambers are built and perfumed

مَلِكٌ أغرٌّ مُحجَّبٌ

معروفُهُ لا يُحجَبُ

A veiled generous king

Whose favors are not withheld

يغدو بِعرْضٍ وافرٍ

يحميهِ مالٌ مُنْهَبُ

He goes out with abundant honor

Protected by plundered wealth

بدرٌ كأن البدرَ مقـ

ـروناً إليه كوكبُ

A full moon as if the moon

Is bowing down to him like a planet

بحرٌ كأن البحر مقـ

ـروناً إليه مِذْنَبُ

A sea as if the sea

Is bowing down to him like a comet's tail

سيفٌ له من كلّ نا

حيةٍ ووجهٍ مَضْربُ

A sword that strikes from every

Serpent's fang and every face

ليثٌ لَهُ في كلِّ جا

رحةٍ وعضوٍ مخْلبُ

A lion whose claws grab

Every battlefield and every limb

خُلِعَتْ عليه من المحا

سنِ خِلعةٌ لا تُسلَبُ

He was robed with robes of honor

That cannot be stripped

عَذُبَتْ خلائقُهُ فكا

دَ من العذوبة يُشرَبُ

His qualities are so sweet

It's as if from sweetness he was sipped

وَهَبَتْ له كفٌّ وَهُو

بٌ كلَّ ما لا يُوهَبُ

To him was given a palm and passion

All that cannot be granted

عَضُدٌ لسيّدِنا وغيـ

ـثٌ للورى يَتصبّبُ

A pillar for our master, and rain

That pours goodness onto the land
