ما خيَّب الله فيه للورى أَملا

أرضى الجميع وأعطى الكلَّ ما سئلا

He did not disappoint the hopes of mankind

He pleased all and granted everyone what they asked

والحمدُ لله قرّت أعين شحنت

وقرَّ كلُ فؤادٍ يشتكي الوَجلا

Praise be to Allah, the eyes that were anxious now feel relief

And every anguished heart now feels comfort

صحت لصحتِه الدنيا وساكنُها

وأصبح الحمد فيها للورى شِغلا

The world regained health through his health

And praise of him became the main concern everywhere

لقد قيل أما اليوم ما رفعت

لهم سوى الحمد أملاكُ السما عملا

It has been said that today the angels in heaven

Did not raise anything for them except praise as their task

ما خصّص السقمُ بلا عمَّ الأنام معاً

فيا له من شفاء أذهبَ العِللا

Sickness did not single out anyone, it affected all people alike

What a cure that eliminated all illnesses!

وسكّن الروعَ والأكبادُ خافقةٌ

وعمَّ بالفرجات السهلَ والجبلا

It calmed anxieties and uneasy hearts started beating calmly

It spread relief over plains and mountains alike

وما حممت لمكروهِ تُساء به

لكنْ ليُعلم فضلٌ فيك قد جُهلا

It brought no harm that would cause sorrow

Rather to make known the blessings in you that were ignored

تاللهِ ما عرفَت مقدار ما رُزقَت

بك البرايا من الخير الذي اتصلا

By Allah! People did not know the extent of good

That the lands obtained through you in continuous succession

حتى احتجبتَ وقالوا مسّه ألم

فلا تسائل بهذا القولِ ما فعلا

Until you isolated yourself and they said pain has touched him

So do not ask about this saying and what it entailed

وما تنازعن أسلاب العقول به

عوارض ألحقت بالمرأة الرَجُلا

Nor dispute the shocked minds regarding it

Side effects confused the sane and the insane alike

وأذهلت كلَّ شخص عن سجيتهِ

حتى استوى في الاسا الجهالُ والعقلا

Until ignorance and wisdom became one in state

So do not blame them for extreme anxiety

فلا تلمهمُ على الافراط في جزعٍ

قد كاد يعقبُهم لو لم يزل جبلا

That would have toppled mountains if it persisted

The lover is excused and their love for him

فذو المحبةِ مِعذور وحبُّهم

فيه لإِحسانِه منه القلوبِ ملا

Filled hearts with kindness he showed

Consider the virtues of the one their souls adore

انظر محاسنَ مَن هامت نفوسهم

على محبتهِ يستقبحُ العِذَلا

Finding flaw in him is truly unthinkable

Had they found him unwell yesterday, they would not have felt

لو هان بالأمس مالاقوه ما وجدوا

هذا السرورَ الذي ساروا به مثَلا

This joy that made them an example to emulate

Nor would blessing from him have required from them

ولا اقتضت منهم النعماءُ واجبها

من المحامد والشكر الذي حصلا

Praise and thanks that transpired

So praise be to Allah that He gave Abdullah

فليحمد الله عبدالله أن له

من ربه خيرة في كل ما فعلا

The best of choices in all that He did

Allah forgave him all sins

قد كفّر اللهُ عنه كل سيئةٍ

وقد كفاه من الأسواء ما سألا

And sufficed him from harms he sought relief from

And showed His creation what was in his nature

وقد أرى خلقهُ ما في خليقتهِ

من المحاسنِ والفضل الذي كمُلا

Of virtues and perfection that reached their utmost

For no words or actions can fully thank Him

وانه لا يؤدّي شكرَ نعمته

على خلافته من قال أو عملا

For appointing him as His deputy over creation
