أَبا الحُسَينِ تَقَدَّم غَيرَ مُعتَذِرٍ

إِذا تَقَدَّمَ بَعضُ القَومِ يَعتَذِرُ

Abu al-Husayn, you came forward without apologizing

When some people come forward, they apologize

وَقَفتَ فَاِنسابَ يَجري صَيِّبٌ ذَهَبٌ

مِمّا بَذَلتَ وَتَهمي ديمَةٌ دُرَرُ

You stood still while lineage was flowing, a stream of gold

From what you have given, and the bounty is a string of pearls

جودٌ تَدَفَّقَ حَتّى عَجَّ زاخِرُهُ

وَمَنطِقٌ راعَ حَتّى ضَجَّتِ الزُمَرُ

Generosity has flowed until its spring was exhausted

And eloquence has quenched thirst until gatherings roared

حَمِيَّةٌ ما دَرى الأَقوامُ مَوضِعها

وَلا رَأى مِثلَها في مَشهَدٍ عُمَرُ

Ardor that people do not know where it is from

Nor has life seen its like in any gathering
