مَن أَحرَزَ الفَضلَ الجَليلَ بِجِدِّهِ

وَاِمتازَ فينا بِالمَقامِ العالي

He who attained great merit through his diligence

And was distinguished among us in high station

وَسَرَت مَناقِبُهُ بِمِصرَ جَميعاً

رَغمَ الحَسودِ بِعِزَّةٍ وَكَمالِ

And whose virtues spread throughout Egypt

Despite the envious, with honor and perfection

لا غَروَ أَن مَنَحوهُ بِالرُتَبِ السَنِي

يَةِ وَاِرتَقى لِمَناصِبِ الإِجلالِ

It is no wonder they granted him senior positions

And he rose to offices of veneration

أَو ما تَرَونَ ذَوي البَصائِرِ أَرخوا

مَجداً يَزادُ لِمُحرِزِ الأَفضالِ

Or don't you see the insightful recorded

Glory that increases for the attainer of virtues
