Claude 2

  1. وَقَفَ الْغَرَامُ عَلَى ثَنَاكَ لِسَانِي

    رَعْياً لِمَا أَوْلَيتَ مِنْ إِحْسَانِ

    Love stood still on the tip of my tongue

    To graze on the kindness you have bestowed

  2. فَكَأَنَّمَا شُكْرِي لِمَا أَوْلَيْتَهُ

    شُكْرُ الرِّيَاضِ لِعَارِض النيسَانِ

    So my gratitude for your benevolence

    Is like the garden’s thanks for April’s showers

  3. أَنَا شِيعَةٌ لَكَ حَيْثُ كُنْتَ قَضِيَّةٌ

    لَمْ يَخْتَلف فِي حُكْمِهَا نَفْسَانِ

    I’m devoted to you wherever decreed

    No two minds dispute its wise judgment

  4. وَلَقَدْ تَشَاجَرَتِ الرِّمَاحُ فَكُنْتَ فِي

    مَيْدَانِ نَصْرِكَ فَارِسَ الْفُرْسَانِ

    Though lances crossed in battle, you were

    The horseman champion of the arena

  5. وَرَوَيْتُ غُرَّ مآثِر أَسْنَدْتُهَا

    لِعُلاَكَ بَيْنَ صَحَائِحٍ وَحِسَانِ

    I told the sweet tales of your glories

    Exalting you amid lyrics and odes

  6. وَلأَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِالتَّشيُّعِ شِيمَةٌ

    لَمْ تَتَّفِقْ لِسِوَاكَ مِنْ إِنْسَانِ

    For you are most befitting of devotion

    A trait no other human equals

  7. الشَّمْسُ أَنْتَ قَدِ انْفَرَدْتَ وَهَل يُرَى

    بَيْنَ الْوَرَى فِي مَطْلَعٍ شَمْسَانِ

    You are the sun peerless in its rising

    Does one ever see two suns in a sky?

  8. جَبرْتَ بِجَبْرِكَ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ حُرَّةٍ

    وَشَدَا بِشُكْرِ اللَّهِ كُلُّ لِسَانِ

    You’ve captivated all souls by your charm

    And every tongue sings Allah’s praise

  9. وَبَدَتْ سُعُودُكَ مُسْتَقِيماً سَيْرُهَا

    وَعَلَتْ فَفَرَّ أَمَامَهَا النَّحْسَانِ

    Your good fortunes progressed upright

    As sorrows fled before their advance

  10. فَاسْتَقْبِلِ السَّعْدَ المُعَاوِدَ سَافِراً

    عَنْ أَيِّ وَجْهٍ لِلرِّضَا حُسَّانِ

    So turn to meet recurring blessings

    However pleased to blessings you bow

  11. وَابْغِ المَزِيدَ بشْكُرِ رَبِّكَ ولتَثِقْ

    بِمُضَاعَفِ الإِنْعَامِ وَالإِحْسَانِ

    Seek from your Lord greater bounty

    Trust He multiplies gifts and grace

  12. فَالشُّكْر يُقْتَادُ الْمَزِيدَ رَكَائِباً

    تَنْتَابُ بَابَكَ مِنْهُ فِي أَرْسَانِ

    Gratitude attracts greater returns

    To keep arriving at your door

  13. ثُمَّ السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يُزْرِي عرْفُهُ

    طِيباً بِعَرْفِ الْعُودِ وَالْبلَسَانِ

    Then greetings upon you, their fragrance sweet

    With scents of aloeswood and basil
