Idris, the son of his namesake,

Excellent in knowledge and adorned

The neck of eminence is adorned with his jewels.

سِرِّ الْمُثَنَّى وَلِيِّهِ

His father, the perfect Khayra

His father is the chosen son of Al-Kamil,

Secret of the Lord of the Two Lights

The secret of Al-Muthanna, his holy forebear,

كَقَطْرَةٍ مِنْ رَكِيِّهِ

Any boaster's pride, compared to his,

Like a drop from his flowing stream

Is but a drop from his well.

عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ

And God named him Master

And Allah named him a master

حَنَّ الْغَرِيبُ لِحَيِّهِ

May God bless him whenever

May God's blessings be upon him as long as

A stranger yearned for his tribe

A stranger yearns for his home,

وَآلِهِ وَصِحَابِهِ

وَمَنْ تَزَيَّ بِزَيِّهِ

And his family and companions

And upon his family and companions,

And those adorned by his adornment

And whoever adorns themselves with his ways.

فِي نَشْرِ فَضْلٍ وَطَيِّهِ

And those who aided Ali

And who, indeed, is like his Ali,

In spreading his excellence and bounty

In unfolding virtue and enfolding it?

وَكَالتِي نَجَبَتْ بِهِ

وَبِالْحُسَيْنِ أُخَيِّهِ

And her who gave birth to him

And who is like the one who nobly bore him,

And Al-Husayn, his brother

And bore Al-Husayn, his dear brother?

غَيْثَيْنِ لَيْثَيْنِ فِي الْوَغَى

وَالْجُودِ سُدَّيْ أَتِيِّهِ

Two lions in battle and war

Two abundant rains, two lions in the fray,

Two oceans of knowledge and wisdom

And in generosity, the two mainstays of its torrent.

بَدْرَيْنِ بَحْرَيْنِ فِي الْعُلاَ

وَالْعِلْمِ عَيْنَيْ سَنِيِّهِ

Excellent is praising them

Two full moons, two oceans in eminence,

Beyond excelling in narration

And in knowledge, the two springs of its brilliance.

حُسْنُ الْقَرِيضِ بِمَدْحِهِمْ

أَضْعَافُ حُسْنِ رَوِيِّهِ

It clothes the soul in joy

The beauty of poetry when praising them

Like a garden at dawn's watering

Is manifold times the beauty of its rhyme.

يُكْسَى لِذَلِكَ بَهْجَةً

كَالرَّوْضِ غُدْوَةَ رَيِّهِ

For through this, it is clothed in splendor,

Like a garden on the morning of its watering.
