نَادَتْنِيَ الأَيَّامُ عِنْدَ لِقَائِهِ

وَهْيَ الَّتِي لاَ تُغْفِلُ التَّنْبِيهَا

The days called me when we met

And they are the ones who never forget to awaken

يَا ابْنَ الْخَطِيبِ خَطَبْتَ بِالْعَزْمِ الْعُلَى

فَبَلَغْتَ مِنْهَا الْقَصْدَ بِابْنِ أَبيِهَا

O son of the orator, you spoke with strong determination

And through it you attained your goal, the son of his father

الْوَجْهَ طَلْقاً وَالْمَعَارِفَ جَمَّةً

وَالْجُودَ رَحْباً وَالْمَحَلَّ نَبِيهَا

A face beaming and acquaintances bountiful

Generosity vast, and position eminent

أَثْرَتْ بِأَشْتَاتِ الْفَضَائِلِ كَفُّهُ

أَتَرَى وِلاَيَتَهُ التَّي تَجْبِيهَا

His palm was adorned with scattered virtues

Do you see his rule which commands it
