عَلَى أَهْلِ الْعَلاَءِ أَبِي عَلِيِّ

سَلاَمٌ مِنْ أَخِي سَلَمٍ صَفِيِّ

Peace from a sincere brother, Salim

Upon the master of eminence, Abu Ali,

To the people of the highlands, my father Ali

A greeting of peace from a pure and peaceful brother,

يَوَدُّ دُنُوَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ

وَيَهْوَى بُعْدَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ غَيِّ

He wishes to be near all that is good

Who wishes him nearness to every good,

And far from all that is alien

And desires his distance from every transgression,

وَيُبْهِجُهُ التَّهَانِي بِالأَمَانِي

وَإِبْقَاءُ الْغَلِيِّ عَلَى الْوَلِيِّ

Joyous greetings and good wishes

Delighted by felicitations upon fulfilled hopes,

And loyalty to the guardian remains

And by the preservation of what is precious for the loyal friend.
