إِن شَكَرنَ لِماهِرَ حُسنَ الصَني

If we thank the skilled one for the beauty of his craftsmanship
His making and his beauty are for gratitude a cause

مِثلَ الشُموسِ بَيانَها تَحصيلُ حاصِلِ
Or if we mention of his virtues that they are
Like suns, to enumerate them is to enumerate what is already enumerated
فَاللَهُ يوليهِ العُلا حَتّى يَلي
أَعلا مَراتِبها بِإِجماعِ الأَفاضِلِ
