يا أيُّها القاضي ونعمَ القاضي

ومَنْ جميعُ الناسِ عنه راضِ

O judge, what an excellent judge you are

Whom all people are pleased with

جاءَ سوادٌ منكَ في بياضٍ

يعربُ عنْ خاطرِكَ الفيّاضِ

A touch of blackness from you in whiteness

Expresses your generous spirit

ألطفُ مِنْ أزاهِرِ الرياضِ

وماءِ مزنةٍ على رضراضِ

More gentle than the flowers of gardens

And water of spring on meadows

فزالَ بانبساطِهِ انقباضي

كأنَّهُ عصرُ الشبابِ الماضي

So my tension disappeared with its relaxation

As if it were the past youthful days
