جَفَّ رَوضي مِن الحَوادث لَكن

أَصبَحَ الآن مُثمِراً مِن هباتك

My garden has withered from adversities, but

It has now become fruitful from your gifts

كانَ ذِكري مِن أَحمَد الذكر قَد ما

ت فَأَحييتهُ بِبَعض التفاتك

My remembrance was from Ahmad’s remembrance as if it had died

You revived it with some of your attention

حَسَناتي كانَت تَرى سَيِئات

فَاِستَحالَت وَتِلكَ مِن حَسَناتك

My good deeds used to see my bad deeds

So they changed, and that is from your good deeds

لابن عَبد العَزيز وَقت تَقضي

وَهُوَ وَقت يعد مِن أَوقاتك

For Ibn Abd al-Aziz, it is time you spend

And it is a time that counts among your times

لَو مَسكَت المِرآة يا أَوحديٌّ

لَرَأَيتُ الجَميع في مِرآتك

If the mirror held you, O Unique One

I would have seen everyone in your mirror

كُلُ عَضو مِني بِمَدحك مُغرى

مُستَهاماً بِحُسن ذِكر صِفاتك

Every part of me is inclined to praise you

Longingly inspired by the good mention of your attributes

بِأَبيك الحُسام تَسمَع أُذني

وَكَأَني أَراهُ مِن سَطواتك

With your father Al-Husam my ears hear

As if I see him among your conquests

قَدَسَ اللَهُ طينَةً أَنتَ مِنها

مَتع اللَهُ خَلقُهُ بِحَياتك

May God sanctify the clay which you are from

May God delight His creation with your life
