بِفَضلِكُم السامي الوجود تلالا
وأشرق مِنكُم بَهجة وَجمالا
With your sublime existence, hills of glory arose
And from you shone joy and beauty
بَني المُصطفى مِن سركم وَقتنا صَفا
فَتاه عَلى كُل الجِهات دلالا
O descendants of Al-Mustafa, our time tasted purity through your secret
So it overflowed in every direction as evidence
سَمَت بِكُم الدُنيا فَأَنتُم لأَهلِها
فَفاقا عَلى كُل البِلاد وَطالا
Through you, the world attained loftiness, so you are
Superior to all other lands and long in duration
وَأَنتُم لِهَذا الكَون قُطب رحاهم
وَلَولاكُم ماد الوُجود وَمالا
And you are for this universe the axis of its tranquility
Without you, existence would have faltered and declined
بجدكم العالي وَمن مثل جدكم
سَمَونا عَلى كُل القُرون كَمالا
With your great ancestor, and one like your ancestor
We surpassed all eras in perfection
فَنَحنُ خيار الناس مِن كُل أمة
بخير نبي للإله تَعالى
Thus we are the best of people, from every nation
With the best prophet of God the Exalted
فَيا دَوحة الأَشراف مِن آل هاشم
سَقَيتُم مِن الغَيث الهتون زلالا
O bouquet of nobility from the family of Hashim
You have quenched from the pouring rain pure drink
تفرقتم بَين البِلاد فَكُنتُم
لغرتها في الخافِقين هِلالا
You have spread through the lands, so you were
Crescents gleaming in the horizon for its cities
فَيا ساكني الحَدباء قَد شاقني الهَوى
إِلَيكُم وَأَما للعذيب فَلا لا
O inhabitants of al-Hadbaa', passion for you has tormented me
And I have no patience for agony, no, no
نَزَلتُم بِها لَكِنكُم طار ذكركم
إِلى مُنتَهى الدُنيا وَلَيسَ محالا
You descended upon it, but your mention has soared
To the farthest reaches of the world, inevitably so
لَئن كُنتُم غَيثاً همى في بيوتها
فَوابله عم الوجود وَسالا
If you are a rain that has revived its homes
Then its downpour has encompassed existence and streamed
وَإِن كُنتُم بَدراً بَدا في سَمائِها
فَكَم ضوؤه في المشرقين تلالا
And if you are a full moon that has emerged in its sky
Then how abundant is its light in the two horizons!
سَمعت بِكُم لا يَعدم اللَه ظلكم
فَقَد صرتُم للعالَمين ظِلالا
I heard about you - God will never neglect your shade
Thus you have become for all worlds as shade
أَحاديث فَضل لا يمل سَماعها
وَإِن أَطنب التالي لَها وَأَطالا
Conversations of virtue, never tiring to hear
Even if the reciter is prolix and overlong
مُسلسلة بِالمَكرمات عَبيرها
تَضوع نَشراً لِلقُلوب وَغالى
A chain of noble traits, its fragrance
Spreads as a blossom to hearts, and is precious
يُكررها الشادي فَلم يلف صاحياً
لِخَمرتها إِلا استمالَ وَمالا
The eulogizer repeats it but has not found when sober
Except to be captivated by its wine and completely indulgent
فَيا مَن بِه يحبى الفُؤاد تَرَكتَني
عَلى البُعد شَوقاً لا أحير مَقالا
O you who when remembered brings joy to the heart, you have left me
In separation, yearning with speechless longing
وَيا سَيداً سادَ الوَرى بِجدوده
لَقَد طبت أَفعالاً وَسدت خِصالا
O Master who mastered all creation through your ancestors
You have been of perfect deeds and sealed virtues
وَيا أَيُها البَحر الَّذي صارَ وَرده
لِمَن جاءَ يَستسقي النَوال زُلالا
O Ocean whose streams are
For whoever comes seeking drink, pure rivulets
وَيا أَيُّها الغَيث الَّذي في الوَرى هَمى
وَلَكنهُ فَوقَ العفاة تَوالى
O Rain that has revived the souls with thirst in the world
But has continued to pour down in abundance
وَيا عالم الدُنيا وَعالم أَهلها
وَمَن مَلأَ السَبع الطِباق جَلالا
O Scholar of the world and its inhabitants
Who has filled the seven spheres with majesty
وَنحريرها المَولى الَّذي ضاءَ نوره
فَلم تلف حيفاً في الدنا وَضَلالا
And O my Master whose light has illuminated
So no darkness was found in life or misguidance
وَيا ابن رَسول اللَه وَابن ابن عَمه
كَفاكَ بِهَذا سُؤدداً وَكَمالا
O Son of the Messenger and Son of his Cousin
This lineage and perfection is enough for you
وَيا بضعة الأَطهار مِن آل هاشم
لَقَد فقت أَهلاً في العِباد وَآلا
O Choice One from the Pure Family of Hashim
You have been most worthy for servants and family
حَلَلت مِن الدُنيا مَحلاً لَقَد غَدا
بِوجنَتِها يا ابنَ الأَكارم خالا
You have parted from worldly abodes after certainly
Becoming bored of its gardens, O Son of the Noble
وَقُمت مَقاماً لَو يَقوم بِحَمله
كَواهل ثَهلان لَصارَ مهالا
And you have taken a position, that if the shoulders of mountains
Were to bear, it would topple them without delay
وَأَظهرت بِالعلم الشَريف أَخا التُقى
حَراماً لِمَن يَبغي الهُدى وَحالا
And you have shown, through noble knowledge, the brother of piety
Forbidden for whoever seeks guidance and state
وَكَم لَكُم مِن نعمة غب نعمة
يَميناً كَتَمتُم سرها وَشمالا
And how many favors upon favors you have
In secret, your right hand and left concealed
وَكانَ الوَرى قَبلا عيالاً لجدكم
فَصاروا لَكُم في ذا الزَمان عِيالا
While the world was once dependents of your ancestor
In this time, they have become dependents for you
مَدَحتك يا ابن الأَكرَمين تَطفلاً
وَإِن ضقت في نادي المذيع مَجالا
I pridefully praise you, O Son of the Two Nobles
Even if I am squeezed for space in the assembly of eulogizers
فَلا زلت مَرفوع اللِواء موفقاً
مَصوناً بِتَأييد الإله تَعالى
But I remain, aided by God the Exalted, successful
With raised banner, preserved from harm
