يا سَيِّدي مُصطَفى يا خَيرَ مَن سَعِدَت

بِهِ المَعالي وَفازَ المَجدُ وَالجودُ

O my master Mustafa, O the best of those

Whose loftiness brought good fortune, and won glory and generosity,

ذَكاكَ وَهبي وَقَد قَواهُ ما اَكتَسَبَت

خَلائِقُ قَدرِها في الناسِ مَعدودُ

Your intelligence and gift are strong in what they have gained

While other people's talents are limited and known,

أَدخَلتَني في بُيوتٍ رامَ ناظِمُها

إِظهارُ فَضلٍ عَلَيهِ القَدَرُ مَحسودُ

You have brought me into well-constructed houses

Displaying a favor that destiny envies,

حَسناءُ لَكِنَّها ضاقَت بِما رَحُبَت

وَكُلُّ بَيتٍ بِحُسنِ السَبكِ مَوصودُ

Beautiful though it is, it feels cramped by its spaciousness

And every verse is locked in excellent composition,

ما كُنتُ أُقَدِّمُ إِنِ اِجتازَ ساحَتَها

لَو أَنَّ فَهمي بِالإِحسانِ مَعهودُ

I would not have walked through its courtyard

Had my understanding of benevolence been customary,

لَكِنَّني طاعَةٌ لِلأَمرِ جُزتُ بِها

حَتّى تَبينَ ما في النَفسِ مَقصودُ

But obedience to command makes me deserve

That the intention in my soul becomes evident,

فَاِسبِل عَلَيَّ وَمُنشيها السِتارَ فَما

إِلى اِمتِداحِكَ حَدٌّ ثُمَّ مَحدودُ

So pour upon me and unfold its curtains, for

In praising you there is no limit, rather without bound.
