للّه مطبعة العرب

شكري لصاحبها وجب

The Arabs have a printing press from God

Thanks are due to its owner as deserved

ذاك السنوسي الذي

جمع اللطافة والأدب

That Sinusi who

Combined elegance and politeness

رب النبوغ من الصبا

رب النجابة منذ شب

Lord of genius from youth

Lord of excellence since a lad

يحكي أباه ولا غرا

بة أن يحاكي الابن أب

He tells of his father without wonder

For the son to emulate the father as apt

ديوان شعري شاهد

عدل وحسبك ما كتب

A poetic book, a just witness

Suffice it what was written
