سلامٌ برقَّته قد حكى

ونفسك رقَّة أخلاقِها

His greeting's tenderness has told tales,

And your soul's tenderness, its morals.

حباك به مغرمٌ أحكمت

مودَّته صدق ميثاقِها

Love for him has made you fall passionately,

His affection's sincerity, its covenant.

ترفُّ بمهجته دائماً

إليك نوازع أشواقِها

With his love you're always graced,

To you, the longings of his passions.

رآكَ تفرَّعت من دوحةٍ

زكا في العُلى طيب أعراقِها

He saw you flourishing from a palm tree,

Ripe in the heights, your ancestry noble.

وأيكة مجدكَ قد غرَّدتْ

حمامُ الثناء على ساقِها

And your glory's nest has sung melodiously,

The pigeon of praise on its branch.

وغرُّ مساعيكَ في المكرمات

تطول بزينة أعناقِها

And the striving of your endeavors in generosity,

Lengthens with the adornment of its necks.

وفخرك لم تحك شمسُ السما

سناه بباهر إشراقِها

And your pride, the sun of the sky has not told,

Its radiance with brilliant rising.

فأهدي كأخلاقك الزاهرات

إليك تحيَّة مشتاقِها

So I present to you, like your blooming morals,

A greeting from one who longs.
