فَضَح الشَمس بِالضِياءِ بَهاؤُه

بَدرٌ حَسَنٍ أُفْق الكَمال سَماؤُْ

The sun revealed its splendor with its light

A beautiful full moon, the height of perfection is its sky

مَن لَهُ المُكرَمات وَالعَدلُ وَالفَضل

صِفاتٌ تَسمو بِها أَسماؤُهُ

The one who has honor, justice and excellence

Attributes that make his name sublime

الوَليّ الوَليّ مَن غادَرَ الدَهر

رِياضاً تَصيبُها أَنواؤُهُ

The Guardian, the Guardian, the one who transcended the ages

With gardens touched by his achievements

اِستَمالَت قُلوبُنا وَاِستَرَقَت

لِذُراهُ رقّاً بِنا آلاؤُهُ

Our hearts were won over, captivated

By his offspring, our devotion to them intensifies

لا تَلُمني إِذا أَطَلَت مَديحي

عَشقتني في وَصفِهِ نَعماؤُهُ

Do not blame me if my praise is long

I am enamored by describing his bounties

لَو سَها عَن ثَنا عُلاهُ لِسانٌ

لِأمرء مجَّ حَملهُ أَعضاؤُهُ

If an eloquent tongue were to forget his merits

It would carry what would weigh down its limbs

مَن يَراهُ وَلَو بِلَمحة طَرف

فَسَعيدٌ صَباحُهُ وَمَساؤُهُ

Whoever sees him, even with a glance of an eye

His mornings and evenings are joyful
