تَدُلُّ عليه عَبْقَةٌ هاشميَّةٌ

أريجٌ تَواليها ذَكيٌّ نَسيمُها

A Hashimite fragrance points to him,

Its gentle breeze gracefully blowing.

وتُعْربُ عنه دوْحةٌ مُضَريَّةٌ

له محضها اِنْ فاخرتْ وصميمُها

And a Mudari palm represents him,

Pure is its core if it boasts or is modest.

ضَروبٌ وبيضُ المُرْهفات كليلةٌ

وهوبٌ اذا الشَّهباء أكدتْ غيومها

Forms vary, and so do bright-faced moons,

And passions when gray clouds thicken.

اذا جارت اللَّزْباتُ فهو جَوادها

واِنْ طاشت الأحلامُ فهو حليمُها

When thoughts wander, he gently reins them,

When dreams fly away, he is wise and forbearing.

تُغَنَّى طِلاحُ اليَعْمَلات بحمده

فيسْبقُ مَرَّ العاصفاتِ رَسيمُها

Those who praise him sing of his glory,

Swift as the wind their tunes carry.

يرى أقبح الأشياءِ حِرمانَ نعمةٍ

وأقْبحَ منها نعْمةً لا يُديمُها

To him the absence of grace is disgraceful,

And grace that does not last, disgraceful.

سماءُ عُلاً للنَّاظرينَ رَفيعَةٌ

وأخلاقُه الغُرُّ الكِرامُ نجومها

The heavens of glory for those who look on are lofty,

And his noble character is the stars that adorn them.
