وباقة زهر من أقاح منحتها

تشير بأوصاف البشير وبذله

A bouquet of flowers from Aqah I gifted

Pointing to the descriptions of the bearer and his generosity

ويا حبذا أزهارها عند ما بدت

من البطل المشهور في عظم فعله

And how beautiful are its flowers when they appeared

From the famous hero in the greatness of his deeds

منوعة الألوان ما بين أبيض

يلوح كأيام تسامت بعدله

Diverse in colors between white

Appearing like the days exalted by his justice

وللَه ما أبهى سناها فإنه

يلألىء نوراً مثل اشراق فضله

By Allah, how splendid is their brightness, for it

Gleams light like the radiance of his virtue

وتزهو بألوان عجيب وقوعها

ويزهو نداها من ندى فيض نيله

And they bloom in wondrous falling of their colors

And its dew glows from the dew of the outpouring of his Nile

حكت وصفه عرفا وفي بعض وصفها

حكت حالة الأعداء في يوم حمله

Some of its description told of his knowledge and in some of its description

It told of the state of the enemies on the day of his onslaught

فصفر وجوه ثم زرق كخطبهم

وتبسم ثغرا مثل سار بظله

So their faces turned yellow, then blue like their worries

And a mouth smiled like the one who walked in its shade

ودود كورّاد تبثّ ثناء

وحمر كدم فاض من حد نصله

Affectionate like everlasting spreading praise

And red like the blood spilled from the edge of his sword
