أفقيَهنا المستن ديناً والذي

شَهِدت له بالفضل منه شَواهِدُ

The horizon spread out before us as if

It bore witness to his virtues, proofs abounded,

لو تُبصر ابنَ سعادةِ ونديمه

قد حَلَّ بينهما الغَزالُ الشّارد

If you could but see the son of Sa'ada and his boon companion -

Gazelles wandered freely between them.

لرأيتَ من ثِقلٍ عليك وخِفةٍ

جَبلين بينهما نسيمٌ راكد

You would see weight upon you, yet lightness,

Two mountains with languid breeze between.
