إِلى ماهِرَ صنوِ المَكارِمِ مُصطَفى
وَقاهُ إِلَهُ الناسِ مِن كُلِّ ماكِرِ
To the master of noble virtues, Mustafa
May God protect him from every schemer
أَرى العِزَّ يَجري وَالمَعالي مُجِدَّةً
تَحِفُّ بِهِ وَالسَعدِ أَوَّلُ ناظِرِ
I see glory flowing and heights exalted
Bestowing them on him, the first to behold good fortune
وَلا بَعدُ حَيثُ الجَدِّ وَالحَزمِ شَأنُهُ
وَمِن جِدٍّ لَم يَعدِم تَوازِرَ ناصِرِ
And there is no alternative when seriousness and determination are his trait
And through his perseverance, he will never lack a supporting ally
فَعَمّا قَريبٍ قَد تَراهُ مُقَلِّداً
مَناصِبَ عُليا راقِياً في المَفاخِرِ
So whatever rank you now see him wearing
Ascending the heights, rising among the glories
وَما قَد بَدا حالاً فَهَذا نُعِدُّهُ
مَبادي لِإِقبالٍ وَخَيرٍ لِماهِرِ
And whatever state has now appeared
Are the beginnings of good fortune for the skilled master
