أَبا مُصطَفى اِستَمتِع فَحَظُّكَ وافِرٌ

وَطالِعُكَ المِسوَدُّ بِالعِزِّ أَومى لَك

O Prophet Mustafa, enjoy yourself, your luck is abundant

And your dark fate has winked at you with glory

وَمِثلُكَ أَحرى بِالتَقَدُّمِ وَالعُلا

وَأَيُّ خَبيرٍ لا يُقَدِّرُ إِجلالَك

And the like of you is more deserving of progress and loftiness

And what expert does not appreciate your veneration

فَفضلُكَ بِالإِجماعِ في الناسِ ثابِتٌ

عَلَيهِ مَليكَ القُطرِ قَدرُكَ أَعلى لَك

So your superiority by consensus among people is certain

Above it the Ruler of the country values you more

إِلى رُتبَةِ الباشا رَقيتُ وَأَنَّها

لِعِنونٍ مَكنونٍ قَريباً سَيُجلى لَك

I have risen to the rank of Pasha, and it

Will soon reveal to you meanings that are hidden

وَمِن ذا لَعَمري لا يَقدِرُ قَدرَكُم

وَما ثَمَّ في الدُنيا سِوى الجَدِّ أَحلى لَك

And who, by my life, can appreciate you

And there is nothing in life sweeter than seriousness for you

تَوَلَّيتَ أَحكاماً وَقُمتَ بِحَقِّها

وَوَفَّيتَها عَدلاً وَأَحكَمتَ أَعمالَك

You have undertaken rules and carried out their rights

And accomplished them justly and perfected your deeds

وَجِئتَ مُحافِظَنا وَناهيكَ خُطَّةً

لَها لَم نَجِد قَبلاً وَحَقَّكَ أَمثالَك

And you came as our governor, and forbid a scheme

The like of which we have not seen before, and you deserve the likes of you

فَمَجلِسَنا الحُلى اِتَّجَهَت لِشأَنِهِ

وَإِصلاحِهِ وَالعَزمُ لَم يَعُد لِعِيالَك

So our council of sweets has oriented itself towards its matter

And reforming it, and determination has not returned to your family

وَأَحيَيتَ بَيتَ المالٍ بَعدَ مَواتِهِ

فَأَصبَحتَ الوِراثَ تَشكُرُ أَفضالَك

And you revived the financial house after its death

So you became an heir thanking your grace

وَأَمّا أَهالي الثَغرِ حَسبُكَ شُكرُهُم

وَتِلكَ أَمانيهِم تُراقِبُ إِقبالَك

And as for the townspeople, your gratitude is enough for them

And those are their wishes overseeing your arrival

وَلا رَيبَ أَن قالوا وَنِلتُ وَأَرخوا

سَتَبلُغُ إِبراهيمَ بِالجَدِّ آمالَك

And there is no doubt that they said and I attained and recorded

You will reach Ibrahim through seriousness your hopes
