ماذا أَقول بمدح ذي الشَرف الَّذي

أَثنى عَلَيهِ اللَهُ في آياته

What can I say in praise of one so honored, whom

God has extolled in His verses?

شَرَف الوجود وَنوره وَبحوره

مِن فَضله وَجَماله وَهِباته

The glory of existence, its light, and its seas

come from his bounty, his beauty, and his gifts.
