أبو عِنانِ خيْرُ مُسْتخلَفٍ

أصْلَحَ منْ أمْر الوَرى ما فَسَدْ

Abu Inan is the best successor

He corrected what was corrupted in the affairs of the world

لا يُنْكِرُ الفضْلَ لمُلاّكِهِ

إلا امْرُؤٌ غطّى علَيْهِ الحَسَدْ

None would deny his merits but an envious man

Whose heart is shrouded by envy

وحَقِّ مَنْ جمّعَ في الخَلْقِ

بيْنَ النّفسِ والروحِ وبيْنَ الجَسَدْ

And it is true of the one who gathered in creation

The soul, the spirit, and the body

لأَنْتَ يا موْلايَ شمْسُ العُلا

حقّاً وهَذا البُرْجُ بُرْجُ الأسَدْ

You, my master, are the sun of glory

In truth, and this mansion is the mansion of the lion
