بهاءَ الدين فارس كلِّ فَضْلٍ

وإِفْضالٍ وإقْدامٍ وجُودِ

Bahaa al-Din, knight of all excellence

And generosity, boldness and kindness

شَددْتَ إلى المعالي شَدَّ طِرْفٍ

يُقرِّبُ حُضْرُهُ شَأوَ البَعيدِ

You tightened your gaze toward the heights, tightened like an eyelid

That brings near the distance of the remote

وأحرزت المَدى منْ غيرِ بُهْرٍ

بحَمْدِ اللّهِ والمَسْعى الحَميدِ

And you gained the distance without effort

Thanks to God and the praiseworthy endeavor

فأدركْتَ الذي رفعوا وشادوا

وناجَتْكَ العَزائمُ بالمَزيدِ

So you attained what they elevated and built

And good fortunes encouraged you with increase

فجئتَ كمُطلق الحَدَّين عضْبٍ

أنيسٍ بالطُّلى دونَ الغُمودِ

So you came like the freed captive of two spears

A companion of youth without senility

نَداكَ وبأسُكَ المرْهوبُ أمَّا

قِرى الضِّيفانِ أو نصْرَ الطَّريد

Your might and war cry frighten the tribes

Whether the guest lands or the rescue of the expelled

فهُنِّي كلُّ شهرٍ مُسْتَجِدٍّ

بسعْدٍ منك فَضْفاضٍ جَديدِ

So every new month brings you

Fresh overflowing good fortune

تَفُلُّ كَتائبَ الحَدَثانِ قَعْصاً

وطَرْداً من شَبا الجَدِّ السَّعيدِ

Shattering the regiments of youth like pottery

Expelling them from the glorious ancestral line
