مُحَمَّدُ بنُ حامدٍ إذا ارتَجَلْ

ومرَّ في كَلامِهِ على عَجَلْ

Muhammad bin Hamid when he improvised

And passed in his speech hastily

نقَّبَ خَدَّ كُلِّ نَدْبٍ سابقٍ

بنَشْرِهِ ونَظمِهِ ثَوْبَ الخَجَلْ

He probed the cheek of every previous cicatrix

With his publishing and composing the garb of modesty

أقلامُهُ يَسقيِنَ كُلَّ ناصحٍ

وكاشحٍ كأسَيْ حَيَاةٍ وأجَلْ

His pens water every advisor

And fault-finder the cups of life and death

فَناصِحوهُ مُشرِقونَ بالأمل

وكاشِحوهُ بالوَجَلْ

So his advisors are shining with hope

And his fault-finders with anguish

أبقاهُ لِلدِّين والدُّنْيا معاً

ولِلَمعالي رَبُّنا عَزَّ وجَلْ

He kept him for the religion and the world together

And for the sublime goals our Lord, Honored and Exalted
