يا سَرِيّاً لَهُ السَعادَةُ وافَت
مِن طَريقِ العُلا بِفَلَكِ السُرورِ
O one blessed with happiness that arrived
On the path of glory, in the sphere of joy
وَكَريماً مِن بَيتِ مَجدٍ مُشَيَّدِ
جَلَّ شَأناً مَقامَهُ عَن قُصورِ
And generous, from a house of glory built
His rank is lofty, beyond mansions
بارَكَ اللَهُ في مَليكِ تَوَلّا
كَ يَنبغي مِنَ التَوقيرِ
May God bless the king who assumed responsibility
As befits veneration
مَن يُضاهيكَ في الوَجاهَةِ وَالعِ
زِّ وَفي فَضلِ بَيتِكَ المَعمورِ
Who can match you in prominence, honor
And the virtue of your prosperous house
نِعمَ أَصلٍ يُزَيِّنُهُ حُسنَ فَرعٍ
يَبعَثُ الحَمدَ مِن فِناءِ القُبورِ
What a fine origin adorned by a good branch
That inspires praise from the realm of graves
أَيُّ نِعَمٍ هَكَذا مُحَمَّد باشا
عَينُ أَعيانِ ثَغرِنا الناضوري
What blessings are these, Muhammad Pasha
The notable of our garrison in Al-Nador
لاحَ فينا هِلالُهُ قَبلَ تَمٍّ
فَتَعالى عَلى ضِياءِ البُدورِ
Its crescent dawned in us before completion
So it rose upon the glow of full moons
وَإِذا ما نَما نُمُوُّ كَمالٍ
حازَ شَأناً وَجازَ شِعري العُبورِ
And when perfection grew
He gained stature and my poetry crossed over
يا لَهُ سَيِّدٌ كَريمُ السَجايا
سادَ قَدراً بِفِعلِهِ المَشكورِ
O he has a generous master
Whose deed elevated his ordained fate
حامَ حَولَ العُلا بِحَزمِ وَجدِ
فَاِجتَنى مِنهُ ما حَلا في البُكورِ
He strove around glory with resolve and effort
And gleaned from it what ripened in the early dawn
أَيُّها الشَهمُ بِالمَحامِدِ أَبشِر
وَاِشكُرِ اللَهَ أَنتَ خَيرُ شَكورِ
O noble one, rejoice with praise
And thank God, for you are the best of those who are thankful
شَرَفُ القَدرِ زادَهُ اللَهُ عِزّا
بِفِخارٍ عَلى السِماكِ ظَهيرِ
The honor of fate, God increased his might
With pride over the high-ranked vizier
أَرخَتهُ يَدُ التَهاني فَقالَت
جانِسِ المَجدَ رُتبَةَ الناضوري
The hand of congratulations recorded it and said
Match glory with the rank of Al-Nador
فَتَهنَأ وَدُم حَليفَ المَعالي
أَنتَ وَالأَهلُ في كَمالِ الحُبورِ
So congratulate, and greet the companion of glory
You and the family in the perfection of serenity
وَتَقَبَّل تَبريكَ خِلٍّ وَفِيِّ
وَفي عُلاكُم حَقّاً يَفي بِالنُذورِ
And accept the congratulations of a friend and ally
And in your ascent truly fulfills vows
