أَهلُ البَلاغَةِ يَهني القَلبَ إِن صاروا

لِلناسِ حِصناً وَلِلناموسِ أَنصارُ

The people of eloquence gladden the heart if they become

A fortress for people and supporters of law

سَموا وَسادوا بِعِلمٍ زانَهُ عَمَلٌ

وَعَزَّزَ الشانُ تَرجيحٌ وَإيثارُ

They excelled and presided with knowledge adorned by deed

And status empowered by preference and choosing

عَلا مَقاماً وَقامَ السَعدُ يَخدِمُهُ

وَحازَ فَخراً بِهِ الرُكبانُ قَد ساروا

His station became high and good fortune started serving him

And the caravan gained pride through him after they walked

يا فَوزَ كُلَّ مُلَمٍّ أَمَّ ساحَتُهُ

وَيا شَقاوَةَ مَن شَطَت بِهِ الدارُ

O, the success of every learned man or his domain

And o, the misery of those whom the houses enticed

لَهُ مِنَ الرَأيِ ما تَرضى الخُصومُ بِهِ

وَلا عَدو لَهُ بِالسُخطِ يَنهارُ

He has opinion that even adversaries accept

And he has no enemy that would collapse in anger

صَبا إِلى المَجدِ وَالعَليا بِهِ اِفتَتَنَت

فَلا غَرابَةَ إِن كانوا لَهُ اِختاروا

He strode to glory and the most high because of it they got fascinated

So it's no wonder if they chose him

بَرٌّ بِإِخوانِهِ موفٍ لِعَهدِهِم

مُتابِعِ الحَقِّ لا خِلٌّ وَلا جارُ

Righteous to his brothers, loyal to their covenant

Following the truth, no defect or harm

راضٍ وَعَينُ الرِضا بِالحَظِّ تَرمُقُهُ

وَلا عُيوبَ مُعاذِ اللَهِ أَو عارُ

Pleased and the eye of consent observes him through perception

No flaws - may Allah forbid - or dishonor

يا أَحسَنَ الناسِ أَخلاقاً وَمَعرِفَةً

وَالحِلمُ يُنبِئُ وَالأَعمالُ تَذكارُ

O best of people in morals and knowledge

Forbearance indicates and deeds remind

بِمَ اِتَّخَذتَ قُلوبَ الناسِ قاطِبَةً

رَقا إِلَيكَ وَلَم تَفديكَ أَعمارُ

With what did you take the hearts of people in their entirety

Fond of you and lifetimes did not ransom you

أَما وَرَبُّكَ لا شَيءَ يَقودُهُم

إِلّا المَحاسِنَ وَالأَخلاقَ آثارُ

No, by your Lord, nothing leads them

Except good deeds and traces of morals

شَكَرَ الإِلَهُ عَلى ما نِلتَ مِن مِنَنٍ

وَسَوفَ تَبلُغُ ما تَبغي وَتَختارُ

Thank Allah for what you got of blessings

And you will attain what you want and choose

إِنّي إِلَيكَ بَشيرُ الناسِ أَجمَعُهُم

يُنبيكَ بِالصِدقِ فَلتُهنِئكَ أَخبارُ

I'm the bearer of glad tidings to all people combined

Informing you sincerely so my news will make you happy
