يابن الكِرام الأولى شادَت عَزائِمُهُم

بَيتاً جَليلاً كَبيت اللَهِ نَعرِفُهُ

O son of the noble ones, their resolves were strengthened

By a glorious house, like the house of God we know it

أَنتَ الكَبير الَّذي لا العَزل يُنقِصُهُ

قَدراً وَلا المَنصب العالي يُشرِفُهُ

You are the great one whom neither demotion diminishes

His worth, nor high office ennobles him

وَلَو سَعى جُهدَهُ المَعروف مُختَبِراً

لَم يَلف غَيرَك في الدُنيا فَيألفهُ

Even if the renowned did his utmost in testing

He would find none but you in the world to befriend

عَبيد نَعماكَ لا يَخشون مِن سَرَف

إِن أَتلَف الدَهر شَيئاً أَنتَ تَخلفُهُ

The servants of your bounty have no fear of excess

If time ruins aught, you will replace it
