أطلت فخار المجد بالبيض والسمر

وقصرت أعمار العداة على قسر

I spread the pottery of glory with white and brown

And shortened the lifespans of enemies in the palace

ووسعت سبل الجود طبعاً وصنعةً

لأشياء في العلياء ضاق بها صدري

And expanded the paths of generosity instinctively and by craft

For things in the heights that my chest was too tight for

فلا مجد للإنسان ما كان ضده

يشاركه في الدهر بالنهي والأمر

So there is no glory for a person that was against him

Sharing with him in time with prohibition and command
