قاضي القضاةِ وعالم العُلَما الَّذي

أحيى من المجدِ الأَثيلِ رُفاتا

The judge of judges, the scholar of scholars

Who revived the ancient glory from its ashes

مَنْ غنْ جَرَتْ مَعَهُ الفحولُ إلى مدى

قصرتْ خطاهمْ عَن خُطاه وَفَاتا

Who the heroes marched with to the farthest horizons

Yet their strides fell short of matching his own

مَنْ لا يدانيهِ عُلىً ونَبَاهَةً

مَنْ ظَلّ في كَسْب الفخارِ وبَاتا

He whom none can equal in nobility and virtue

Who spent his nights acquiring pride and glory

مَن شَرّفَتْ وَهُمُ الكرامُ صِفاتُه

مِنْ أَهْلِه الأحياءَ والأمْواتا

Whose qualities brought honor to the generous souls

Among both his living and departed people
