جُمعتْ لك الأوصافُ غير مُنازعٍ

في غايةٍ وسِواكَ منها مُخْدَجُ

All noble qualities were gathered for you, with none to rival you—

At their utmost perfection, while all besides you remain incomplete in them.

فحِماكَ مُعتصمٌ وكفُّكَ ديمَةٌ

وسُطالكَ مُعْطبةٌ ووجهك أبْلجُ

Your protection is a refuge, and your hand is steady rain;

Your onslaught is destruction, and your face shines radiant—

هيْفٌ على مُهج الأعادي زعْزعٌ

وعلى الوليِّ نيم ليلٍ سَجْسجُ

A scorching wind, a violent gale against your enemies’ very souls,

But for the loyal friend, the bliss of a mild night.

تكبو العزائمُ في مُحاولةِ العُلى

حيناً وعزمُك يستطيرُ ويمْعَجُ

Aspirations sometimes stumble in striving for the heights,

While your resolve takes wing and speeds onward,

جذلان مبتسمٌ اذا ازْورَّ الرَّدى

واذا يُنيلُ المُعْتفين فأبْهَجُ

Exultant and smiling whenever death turns aside;

And happier still when granting petitioners what they seek.
