أذِنتْ لكَ العلياءُ نازِحُها

فبعيدُ كل فضيلةٍ كَثَبُ

The virtuous have allowed you their virtues,

So excellence is far from any arrogance.

وبَرَعْتَ في بأسٍ وفي كَرَمٍ

فالحاسِدانِ البيضُ والسُّحُبُ

You have excelled in valor and in generosity,

So the envious are the white clouds and gray clouds.

وغَدا الشُّهودَ بما فضلْتَ بهِ

السَّيفُ والأقلامُ والكتُبُ

The witnesses have declared what you surpassed in:

The sword, the pens, and the books.

وحَباكَ فاخِرَ كل مكْرُمةٍ

فاتتْ سواك السعي والنسبُ

Every glory has loved you, excelling one,

So, apart from you, endeavor and lineage missed the mark.

فبَهاءُ دينِ اللّهِ أنتَ بهِ

شَهِدَ الفَعالُ واُسْجِلَ اللَّقبُ

You are the splendor of the religion of God through which

The active bore witness and the title was recorded.

يُزْهي القوافيَ اِذْ مُدحْتَ بها

الداعيانِ العُجْبُ والطَّرَبُ

It adorns rhymed prose when you are praised in it,

Inciting wonder and joy.

مَرَحاً بذكرِ حُلاحِلٍ نَدُسٍ

ما في كمالِ فَخارهِ ريَبُ

Joyfully mentioning polished swords and spears

With no doubt in the perfection of their pride.

فَلْيهنِ عصراً أنت واحدهُ

فضلاً وبعضُ شهورهِ رجَبُ

So you alone are an era, excelling

In virtue, and some of its months are Rajab.

اِقبالُ جَدِّكَ صاعِداً أبداً

لا يرْتقيهِ الخَطْبُ والنُّوبُ

The ascent of your ancestors forever,

Unattainable by any ambition or climbing of heights.

وبقيتَ ما سَجعَ الحمامُ وما

جَنَّ الظَّلامُ ودارَتِ الحِقَبُ

You remain as long as the doves moan and

As long as darkness gathers and eras revolve.
