مسيت بالخير يا جوادا
ما مس من يجتديه ضر
I wished you well, O generous one
No harm touches those under your protection
ودمت جم النوال يا من
يمينه ديمة وبحز
And you remained beautiful in character, O you
Whose right hand is always ready to help
أنت الذي طاب منه أصل
سام وفرع نام ونجر
You are the one whose origin is pure
Its branches and offshoots grew tall
أنت الذي رأيه المورى
لظلمه الحادثات فجر
You are the one the afflicted saw
As a refuge against calamities
يا غرة الدهر من يرجي
نيل مساعيك فهو غر
O flower of time, whoever hopes
To attain your good deeds will succeed
كم من أخي فاقة عراه
من بعد يسر اليدين عسر
How many impoverished brothers
Suffered hardship before easing of hands
أعلاه في الثراء فردا
أنامل من يديك عشر
You raised them to wealth individually
As if they were your own ten fingers
دمت فللعارفات وصل
منك وللمنكرات هجر
Remain connected to those who know you
And distant from those ungrateful
يا ابن علي لله فيما
شيمه من علاك سر
O son of Ali, may God bless
The traits he gave you from on high
فما لنشر نشر ت طي
ولا لطي طويت نشر
You neither unfold what's not fitting
Nor fold what should be spread
يا عمر العدل أنت زيد
تحت مثار الوغى وعرر
O ages of justice, you are Zayd
Rising amidst turmoil and war
يفديك يا غامر العطايا
مصرد في العطاء غمرُ
Those who spend generously for you
Are in giving drowned as if in a flood
من كره في الفخار صاع
وباعه في العلا فترُ
Wretched is he who sold by the saa
And bought by the uqiya, so blame him
عاش أبو الفضل من كريم
حلا به العيش وهو مرُ
May Abu Fadl live long, that generous one
Who sweetened life though it was bitter
رباعه في الجدوب خضر
وبيضه في الحروب حمرُ
Green are the young sprouts of his munificence
Red are his mature fruits in the heat of wars
وأوجه الحاسديه سود
إذا تأملتها وصفرُ
The jealous faces have turned black
When examining them and yellow
بشرنا بالمراد منه
سماحة ما تني وبشرُ
Give us good news of the boons from Him
Unfailing kindness never ceasing
الصاحب الواهب المرجى
والصّافح المانح الأغرُّ
And favoring patron granting wishes
Most generous forgiving embrace
خلاله والطباع ماء
وباسه والذكاء جمرُ
In manner smooth, nature pure
His kiss is ardor, intellect ember
وحدت لما وحدّت فيه
مدحي فمدحي سواه كفر
My praise unified when fusing for him
So praise other than his would be unbelief
يا أكبر العالمين قدرا
إسلم فما في علاك كبرُ
O greatest in both worlds by rank
Submit, for over you no pride rises
وابق على الدهر مستماحا
ما مر شهر وكر عصرُ
And remain easy to approach forever
No month passes without an age ending
