اذا دَعاها الروضُ واطَّباها

واشْتاقها الوِرْدُ على صَداها

When the meadow calls her and woos her,

And the rose longs for her with its fragrance,

وخَلَطَتْ بِقاعِها رُباها

ولم يُرَمْ لِحَثِّها حُداها

And she mingles with its domains as she pleases,

With no limits set to restrain her,

وشَفَّها الذَّميلُ وانْتضاها

فلا تَلوماها على شَقاها

And the north wind kisses and caresses her,

Then do not blame her for her misery,

حيثُ أَبو القاسِمِ مُبْتغاها

أبلَجُ للعلياءِ في ذُراها

Where Abu Al-Qasim seeks her,

Swift for the lofty ones in their abodes,

اذا دَنا لِفاقةٍ أغْناها

وانْ بَدا لِكُرْبَةٍ جَلاها

If poverty approaches, he enriches her,

And if distress appears, he relieves her,

طَبٌّ بعَقْر النِّيب في ممساها

وبالجيادِ الجُرْدِ في ضُحاها

Good fortune to the Prophet's land in its dwellings,

And to the brave steeds in its plains,

تحسُدهُ الحُفَّلُ في نَداها

فبلغَ الوزيرُ منتهاها

The ignoble envy her in her advance,

Thus the minister attained his utmost desire.
