رضاء مِن الرَحمن في كُل ساعة

يُصافح وَجهاً لَم يَزَل نورهُ يَعلو

Blessings from the Merciful in every hour

Illuminate a face whose light still rises

بشيبته نسقى إِذا أَقلع الحَيا

وَغارَت عُيون الأَرض وَارتفع الطل

With his gray hair we are watered when life departs

And the eyes of earth close as the heights ascend

تَهلل بِالتَقوى وَقاراً وَبَهجة

فَظاهره نور وَباطنه وصل

He rejoices in piety, dignified and joyful

His outer self is light and his inner self connection

وَعمر بالعلم الشَريف مَنازِلاً

عَلاها الفَنا مِن قَبل ذَلِكَ وَالجَهل

And he built with noble knowledge many dwellings

Emptiness and ignorance had ruled them before that

وَمَد عَلى العافين كَفاً سَخية

بذولاً إِلى أَن عمنا ذَلِكَ البَذل

He extended to the healthy a generous palm

Giving freely until that giving was made blind

جَزاكَ إِله العَرش يا ابن محمد

جَزاء وصول منعم قَوله الفعل

May the God of the Throne reward you, O son of Mohammed

With the reward of a benefactor whose word becomes action

تَفضلت وَالأفضال مِنكَ سَجية

عَلى كُل عاف في الوجود لَها هطل

You have excelled, and excelling is your wont

Upon all the hale your bouties constantly rain

مَدحتك لا أَرجو الحطام وَإِنَّما

تَشَرفت في أَوصافكم وَلَكَ الفَضل

I praise you not in hope of worthless fragments

But have gained honor describing your virtues and yours is the credit

كَفى شَرَفاً أَني حسبت عَلَيكُم

فَاسمو عَلى قَومي وَقَدري بِكُم يَعلو

Honor enough that I counted myself among you

And through you my people and worth are made greater

وَمَن لي بِأَني قَد نسبت إِلَيكُم

وَجدكم الأَعلى تَلوذُ بِهِ الرُسل

By what right do I claim I am linked to you?

And take shelter in your most lofty line of descent?
