اُحِبُّ سَجايا الخيرِ غُرّاً كأنها

إذا طلعت يوم النَّدِيِّ نجومُ

I love the facets of goodness appearing

As if, when the bright day dawns, they were stars

حَواها أبو سعْدٍ واِنَّ اجتماعها

على رجُلٍ في عصرنا لعظيمُ

Contained in Abu Sa'd, and verily their assemblage

In a man in our time is magnificent

فجاء رضيَّ الدين ندْباً إِلى العُلى

منازلُهُ للخائفينَ حَريمُ

So came Sa'd al-Din, aspiring to the most high

His dwellings are sanctuaries for the reverent

هو المرءُ أمَّا مالُهُ فمُرَزَّأٌ

شَتيتٌ وأمَّا عِرضُهُ فَسليمُ

He is the man, while his wealth is scattered

And dispersed, his honor is safe and intact
