إذا سِرْتَ سارَ النّورُ حيثُ تَعوجُ

كأنّكَ بَدْرٌ والبِلادُ بُروجُ

When you travel, light travels wherever you turn

As if you were a full moon and the countries were stars

لكَ اللهُ منْ بَدْرٍ على أفُقِ العُلى

يَلوحُ وبَحْرٌ بالنّوالِ يَموجُ

May God grant you a full moon on the horizon of the Highest

That appears with an ocean swirling in waves

تفَقّدْتَ أحْوالَ الثّغورِ بنِيّةٍ

لَها نحْوَ أبوابِ القَبولِ عُروجُ

You examined the state of the frontiers with an intention

That inclines towards the gates of acceptance like a climb

وسكّنْتَها بالقُرْبِ منكَ ولمْ تَزَلْ

تَهيمُ هَوىً منْ قَبْلِهِ وتَهيجُ

And you settled them close to you and did not cease

To yearn for love before it and stir it

مَرَرْتُ على وعْدٍ معَ الغَيْثِ بعْدَها

فمَنْظَرُها بعْدَ العُبوسِ بَهيجُ

I passed by a promise of rain afterward

So its view after gloom is delightful

فكمْ تَلْعةٍ قد كلّلَ النَّوْرُ تاجَها

ورَفّ علَيْها للنّباتِ نَسيجُ

Thus how many hills has light crowned their crowns

And waved over them to the plants interwoven

ولا نَجْدَ إلا رَوضَة وحَديقَةٌ

ولا غَوْرَ إلا جَدْولٌ وخَليجُ

And we find no meadow or garden

And no gorge but a stream and bay

أيُوسُفُ دُم للدّين تحْمي ذِمارَهُ

إذا كانَ للخَطْبِ الأبيِّ وُلوجُ

Oh Joseph, blood of the religion, protect its pillars

When the mighty calamity has violent quakes

بفِتيةِ صِدْقٍ إنْ دَجا ليْلُ حادِثٍ

فهُمْ سُرُجٌ آفاقُهُنّ سُروجُ

With the youth of sincerity, if the night of an event darkens

They are lamps whose horizons are clear

بَقيت قَريرَ العيْنِ ما ذَرّ شارِقٌ

وما طافَ بالبَيْتِ العَتيقِ حَجيجُ

My eye remained delighted as long as a shining one scattered rays

And pilgrims circumambulated the Ancient House
