سألتك بالذي اعطاك حسنا

وقنعك المهابة والكياسه

I beseech you by Him who gave you beauty,

And mantled you in majesty and discernment,

وابدى فيك طورا كسرويا

تطرزه البلاغة والسياسه

And revealed in you a Khosrow-like bearing,

Embroidered by eloquence and statesmanship.

ترفق بي فأنت مليك حسن

على اهل الجمال له الرياسه

Be gentle with me, for you are the king of beauty;

Over all the people of beauty, yours is supremacy.
