إِنَّ سَمع العُقول يَصغي لِقَول إِلا

سَطواني وَالقُلوب لَدَيهِ

The minds' hearing is attentive to the word of none

Except the eloquent and hearts are with him

جَمع الفَضل وَالمَكارم حَتّى

كُل حُسنى تَعزى وَتَنمى إِلَيهِ

The excellences and virtues all assembled

So that each beauty is attributed and grows from him

رَجُلٌ جاءَ في الزَمان أَخيراً

يَحسد الأَول الأَخير عَلَيهِ

A man has come in time finally

The first and last envy each other over him
