اِشكُرِ لِتَوكيلَ البُحَيرَةِ مُصطَفى

فَهوَ الموصِلُ لِلأَماني وَالصَفا

Thank Temkil Buhera Mustafa

For he is the conduit to hopes and joy

سَتَرى السَعادَةَ بَعدَهُ وَزاكَ قَد

أَحرَزَت تالِدَها وَنِلتَ الطارِفا

You will see happiness after him and have secured

Its birth and attained grace

أَنتَ اِبنُ مَجدٍ غَيرَ أَنَّكَ بِالحِجى

وَالفَضلُ زِدتُ رِعايَةً وَتَشَرُّفا

You are a son of glory though modesty

Increased my care and ennoblement

حُزتُ المَحامِدَ بِاِجتِهادِكَ فَاِقتَفَت

آثارَكَ العَليا وَحالَفَكَ الوَفا

I won praise through your diligence so emulated

Your sublime traces and enjoyed loyalty

وَغَدَوتُ في كَسبِ المَعالي ماهِراً

وَأَخَذتُ مِن كَنزِ المَحاسِنِ ما كَفى

And became adept in gaining heights while

Taking from the treasure of virtues enough

وَأُذيعَ ذِكرُكَ عاطِراً أَظَهَرَتهُ

بِالجِدِّ حَتّى صارَ أَشهَرَ مَن قَفا

Your fragrant mention spread which you manifested

Through diligence until it became best known

وَالدَهرُ قالَ تَرقَبَنَّ مَواهِبي

فَإِلَيكَ خَيري لَيسَ يَفتَأُ مُسعِفا

And time said I await to favor you

To you my goodness never ceasing to oblige

فَاِفرَح وَعِش في صَفوِ عَيشٍ أَرغَدَ

وَاِرقُب قُبولاً لا يُخالِطُهُ جَفا

So rejoice and live in the essence of ease

And expect acceptance without reserve

وَإِذا ذَكَرتَ لِما أَشَرتَ مُؤَرِّخا

اِشكُر لِتَوكيلِ البُحَيرَةِ مُصطَفى

And when you recount what I have indicated

Thank Temkil Buhera Mustafa
