نَوالُ أمير المؤمنين وسَيْبُهُ

عليه صَلاةٌ جَمَّةٌ وسَلامُ

The light and sword of the Commander of the Faithful,

Upon him abundant prayers and peace,

عَلا شرفَ الدين الوزير الذي لهُ

بكُلِّ فَخارٍ موْطِنٌ ومَقامُ

Exalted is the honor of the religion, the minister who has

In every pride a place and abode,

كصوب حَياً ألقى بَعاعاً بحُرَّةٍ

فطاب ثَرىً زاكٍ وطابَ غَمامُ

Like arrows that were thrown in the battle with skill

So the earth became good and the clouds good,

فأنبت روض النَّصح في تربة الحجا

نضيراً إذا شِيحٌ ذَوي وثُمامُ

He planted the garden of advice in the soil of Hijaz,

Peerless, buzzing with bees and doves,

سقى غرسه والغرس يُنمى لسقيه

وأنتَ بكِلْتا راحَتيْهِ حُسامُ

He watered its plant and the plant thrives on his watering,

While you with both your hands are a sword,

نَهضْتَ بأعباء الأوامرِ ساهراً

لإِمْضائِها والمخلصونَ نِيامُ

You rose to the duties of the commands sleepless

To execute them while the devoted ones slept,

هو البطل الكرَّار في البأس والنَّدى

عليمٌ بغَرْسِ الصَّالحاتِ إِمامُ

He is the repeated hero in ferocity and generosity,

Knowledgeable in planting righteous deeds, an imam.
