ما عَلَى فَضْلِكَ ذا مِنْ مُفْضِلِ

يا أَبا اليُمْنِ سَعِيدَ بْنَ عَلِي

None can match your generosity,

O Abu Al-Yumn, Sa'eed bin Ali.

مَنْ يَكُنِ مِثْلَكَ فِي الْجُودِ يَكُنْ

غايَةَ الضّارِبِ عِنْدَ الْمَثَلِ

He who is like you in munificence,

Is the epitome when giving is exemplified.

أَنْتَ بَدْرُ التِّمِّ فِي السَّعْدِ إِذا

ذُكِرَ السَّعْدُ وَشَمْسُ الْحَمَلِ

You are the full moon of prosperity, when

Good fortune is mentioned, and the sun of glory.

مِثْلَ ما كُنِّيتَ أَوْ سُمِّيتَ لا

زِلْتَ محْرُوسَ الْعُلى والأَجَلِ

You have always been, since you were titled,

Protected, lofty and sublime.

فابْقَ وَاسْلَمْ واسْمُ وَاسْعَدْ أَبَداً

واعْلُ وافْخَرْ واعْدُ وَاقهَر وَطُلِ

So live on and be well, lengthen your life,

Ascend and pride yourself, promise and conquer, seek high status.

ما هَمى غَيْثٌ حَكى بِرَّكَ بِي

وَصَفا عَيْشُ حَكى وُدِّكَ لِي

No rain has told me of your righteousness,

Or described to me the pleasure of your friendship.
