اذا غصَّ النَّديُّ بحاضريهِ

سَراةِ الحي من قارٍ وحامِ

When the valley overflowed with his presence,

The free man of life from settler and protector,

وقوبلتِ المساعي بالمساعي

وميزَ مقامُ فخْرٍ عن مَقامِ

And you met efforts with efforts,

And the station of pride was distinguished from the station,

رأيت عُلا بهاءِ الدينِ منهمْ

كَرَأدِ الصُّبح من غسق الظَّلام

I saw the brilliance of religion in them

Like the dawn's foreglow from the gloom of darkness,

جريءٌ حينما تنبو المَواضي

جوادٌ عند اِخْلافِ الغمامِ

Brave when the resting places prophesy,

Generous when the clouds depart,

فتىً كالزعزع الهوجاء عَزْماً

وعند الحلم أرجحُ من شَمامِ

A young man like the turbulent earthquake in determination,

And in wisdom more sagacious than a chief,

يضمُّ قساوةَ الجُلمودِ بأساً

إِلى خُلُقٍ أرقَّ من المُدامِ

He joins the harshness of stubbornness with power,

To a character more gentle than wine,

يمرُّ اذا تُشاغبهُ الأعادي

ويعذبُ في المكارم والنِّدامِ

He passes when the enemies provoke him,

And is delicate in generosity and regret,

أَبو الفضل المُشارُ إلى عُلاهُ

غُلاماً قبلَ سِنِّ الاِحتْلامِ

Abu Al-Fadl, the one referred to for his brilliance,

A boy before the age of puberty,

تخافُ شَبا مزابرهِ العَوالي

ويرهبُ سُخْطهُ بأسُ الحِمامِ

The wilds fear his young lions,

And his anger terrifies the ferocity of pigeons,

فهُنِّيَ كل شهرٍ حَلَّ فيه

به فضلاً عن الشَّهرِ الحَرامِ

So congratulated is every month when

His superiority over the sacred month comes to him.
