وَقَد رأَتْ مِصْرُ أَيَّامَ الخَصِيبِ بهِ

وَسَرَّهَا قَائِمٌ مِنهُ وَمُنتَظِرُ

Egypt saw prosperous days with him

And was delighted by one standing firm and expectant

ولا بنِ هانيهِ مَدْحٌ سَوفَ يَتبعُهُ

عَبْدُ الوَزِيرِ وَمَوْلَى جُودِهِ عُمَرُ

Nor will the praise of Ibn Haniyya ever be followed

By Abd al-Wazir's slave and dependent 'Umar
