بُشْرَايَ هَذا مَبْدَأُ الإقْبَالِ

في قَصْدِ غَايَاتي وفِي اسْتِقْبالِ

My glad tidings, this is the start of my determination

In pursuit of my goals and in anticipation

وَافَانِيَ الزَّمَنُ المُسِيءُ مُحَسِّناً

آثارَهُ بِمَثابَةِ الإِجْمَالِ

And time, though once unkind, came to me amended

Its traces equivalent to summation

وَذَمَمْتُ تَرْحَالاً وَحِلاً قَبْلَها

فَحَمِدْتُ عُقْبَى الحِلِّ والتَّرْحالِ

I had wandered many lands prior to this

So I praised the outcome of roaming and dwelling

وَعَزِزْتُ بَعْدَ الهوْنِ والإِذْلالِ

وأَمِنْتُ بَعْدَ الرَّوْعِ والأَوْجالِ

And became mighty after weakness and humiliation

And felt secure after fear and hardship

وَثَوَيْتُ في خَفْضٍ وفِي دَعَةٍ بِما

كابَدْتُ مِنْ شَظَفٍ وَمِنْ زِلزالِ

And I flourished in humility and comfort despite

The desolation and tremors I had endured

وَلَقيتُ ما لا أستَقِلُّ بِوَصفِهِ

وَإِنِ ادَّعيت مزِيَّةَ استِقلالِ

And I experienced what I cannot aptly describe

Though I claimed the merit of independence

وكَفاكَ أنَّ الرّومَ كانَتْ جِيرَتي

مِنْ جَوْرِ دهْرِي واسْتِحالَةِ حالِي

It is enough that Rome was once my neighbor

From the injustice of my fate and trials

كُنْتُ الطَّلِيقَ هُنَاكَ لَكِنْ لَمْ أزَلْ

مِن شِدَّةِ الحَسَرَاتِ في أَغْلالِ

I was free there but never stopped

Feeling fettered by intense regrets

أَبْكِي عَلى اسْتِئْصالِ مَنْ خَلَّفْتُهُ

وأُطِيلُ فِي الأسْحَارِ والآصَالِ

I weep for those I left behind

And spend the nights in prayers and worries

حَتَّى إذَا فَارَقْتُ أرْضَهُمُ التِي

كانَتْ عِقالاً ثانِياً لِعِقَالِي

Until I left their land which

Had become a second home to me

وَدَعَانِيَ الشَّوْقُ المُذِيبُ جَوانِحي

لِمَنازِلي فَأَجَبْتُهُ وَجِلالي

And longing, melting my essence, called me

Back home, so I answered despite my dignity

لاقَى بِيَ الجَدُّ العَثورُ عِصَابَةً

ذَهَبَتْ بِمَالِي كَيْ يَسُوءَ مآلِي

But on my return hardship made me stumble upon

A gang that robbed me, hoping to ruin me

فاسْتَأنَفَتْ نَفْسِي بِحُكْمِ شَقائِها

خَوْضاً لأَهْوَالٍ عَلَى أهْوَالِ

So my soul resumed, judging its misfortune,

A plunge into new horrors and ordeals

مازِلْتُ مِنها في خَيَالٍ مُتْلِفٍ

حَتَّى غَدَوْتُ مفارِقاً لِخَبَالِ

I remain lost in pleasing fantasies

Until I become detached from sorrows

بأَبِي حُسَيْنٍ سيِّدِ العَرَبِ الذِي

أَدْنَى حُلاهُ

By my father Hussein, master of the Arabs whose

Excellence is accentuated by the glorious, the debater

بِالمَاجِدِ المِفْضَالِ أوْ بالعَارِضِ

المِهْطَالِ أو بالقَائِلِ الفَعَّالِ

Or the active speaker, the tribe of Qaylah

Who belongs only to nobility

بِالقيْلِ مِنْ أبْناءِ قَيْلَةَ والذِي

لا يَنْتَمِي إلا إلَى الأَقْيَالِ

An elegy for his dwelling fate rapidly approaches

While hopes contend over his prominence

نَدْبٌ إِلَى مَثْواه مُسْتبقُ المُنَى

وَعَلى عُلاه تَزَاحُمُ الآمالِ

One who meets the lightning of his forehead in crisis

Is enriched by the pouring of his copious rains

مَنْ شَامَ بَرْقَ جَبِينِهِ في أزْمَةٍ

أَثْرَى بِغَيْثِ سَمَاحِهِ الهَطَّالِ

He inherited leadership from his father and grandfather

The pure of word and deed

وَرِثَ السِّيَادَةَ عَنْ أبيهِ وَجَدِّهِ

الطَّاهِرِ الأَقْوَالِ والأَعْمَالِ

And he accomplished what made prosperous the inheritance he gained

So the attainment of perfection did not fatigue him

وَأَتَى بِما أَرْبَى عَلى مَا نَالَهُ

إِرْثاً فَمَا أعْيَاهُ نَيْلُ كَمَالِ

He is unique in this world, and whoever is not content with him

Let him find his equal in this world

هُوَ واحِدُ الدُّنيا وَمَن لَمْ يَرْضَهُ

فَلْيَأتِ في الدّنْيَا لَهُ بِمِثالِ

Alas, none like him exists in the universe

In composure, balance and majesty

هَيْهَاتَ لَيْسَ عَلَى البَسيطَةِ مِثْلُهُ

في سُؤْدَدٍ وَرَجَاحَةٍ وَجَلالِ

Qais, Saad, and Ubadah before him

And Dulaym, the singular in generosity

قَيْسٌ وسَعْدٌ قَبْلَهُ وعُبَادَةٌ

ودُلَيِّمُ الأَفْرَاد في الإفْضَالِ

They maintained for him a nobility ever flourishing

Transcending eras and circumstances

أبْقَوْا لَه شَرَفاً يَزيدُ تَجَدُّداً

يَبْأَى لَدَيْهِ عَلَى مَدى الأَحوالِ

Whoever wishes to exceed in praising him, let him do so

Without blame for lavish praise

مَن شاءَ في مَدحٍ غُلُوّاً فَليَكُن

في مَدحِهِ مِن غَيرِ لَومٍ غالِ

When I kissed his hand and saw him

I paid no mind to life or the new moon

لَمَّا لَثَمْتُ يَمِينَه ورَأيْتُه

لَمْ أَلْتَفِتْ لحَياً ولا لِهِلالِ

Say to time, for you have stood at his door

And joined the peers and equivalents

قُلْ للزَّمَانِ وقَد مَثَلْتَ ببَابِهِ

فَلَحِقْتَ بِالنُّظَرَاءِ والأَمْثَالِ

Indeed, the son of Eesa whom you knew for his beaming light

And generosity in calamity and tribulation

إنَّ ابْنَ عِيسَى مَنْ عَلِمْتَ مَضَاءهُ

وَسَخَاءهُ في الرَّوْعِ والإمْحالِ

His justice with me suffices for your tyranny

For what you stole from me by extermination

يَكْفيكَ جَورَكَ عدْلُهُ بِيَ عادِلاً

عَمَّا ذَهَبْتَ لَهُ مِنِ اسْتِئْصَالِ

He remains the repeller of every incident and misfortune

And protector of those rendered without protector

لا زالَ دَافِعَ كُلِّ خَطْبٍ وَاقِعٍ

وَثُمالَ مَنْ أَضْحَى بِغَيْرِ ثُمالِ
