جزى اللّه خيراً من اِمامٍ تخيَّرتْ

رَويَّتُهُ منكَ الهُمامَ المصَمِّما

May Allah reward the one whose leadership I have chosen

Whose determination and resolve I have learned from you

لقد روَّض المغبرَّ من كل ما حلٍ

وطَبَّقَ أرضَ اللّهِ بأساً وأنْعُما

He has tamed the unruly in every situation

And has ruled Allah's land with might and grace

وأوضح نهج المجد بعد اشتباهه

بهادٍ اذا ما منهجُ المجدِ أظْلما

He has illuminated the path of glory after its obscurity

With guidance, when the path of glory was dark

وسلَّ لنصر الدين منك مُهنَّداً

جريئاً اذا ما هُزَّ للضرب صمَّما

He has drawn his sword for the victory of religion

Boldly, when summoned to strike with resolve

يُقرُّ عيون الناظرين فِرنْدُهُ

وتجري بحدَّيهِ معاركُهُ دما

His spear brings joy to onlookers

And his blades lead his battles to blood

ومَنْ شرفُ الدين الوزير اختيارُه

فأيُّ لبيبٍ ما أسَدَّ وأحْزَما

The appointment of the Minister of Religion was an honor

What sensible person has not been resolute and steadfast?

فدمت له ردءاً ظهيراً على العِدى

ودامَ عَطوفاً سالمَ الرأي مُنْعِما

So remain his protection and support against enemies

And may your sound judgment remain graceful forever
