يا مُتبِعَ الاكرام إِنعاما

وَمُتبَعَ الانعام إِتماما

O you who pursue generosity with gifts

And repay kindness with perfect completion

وَعادِلاً في الناس لَكِنَّه

أَصبَح لِلأموال ظَلاما

And are just among the people, yet

Wealth has made you unjust and dark

قَرَنتَ في كَفَّك بحر النَدى

بِصارِمٍ أَسكَنتَهُ الهاما

You have combined in your palm the sea of munificence

With a sword you have sheathed decisively

وَجُمّعت فيكَ خِصال الوَرى

وَحُزتَ آراءً وَإِقداما

And you have gathered in yourself the virtues of all

And have held views and courage

فالمَوتُ وَالعَيشُ بيُمناك قَد

صرّفت أَسيافاً وَأَقلاما

Thus death and life are under your auspices

You have wielded swords and pens

أَثقَلتَ بالإِنعام ظَهري فَقَد

أُفحِمتُ عَن شكركَ إِفحاما

You have weighed down my back with gifts so

I am silenced in gratitude to you

سَفَكتُ إِفضالاً دَمي كَي تُرى

تَزيدَ في عُمرِكَ أَعواما

I have spilled my blood in gifts so you may see

It adds years to your life

فاِسلَم لإِهراق دِماءِ العِدى

ما طَرَدَ الإِصباحُ إِظلاما

So submit to shedding the blood of enemies

As the dawn dispels the darkness
