دامَتْ معالِيكَ يا نَجْلَ الكِرامِ كَما

دامَتْ أَياديكَ مِثْلَ العارِضِ الهَتِينِ

May your virtues last, O scion of the noble,

As long as your generous hands remain outstretched,

وافَى النِّظَامُ بِهِ خَيْرُ الكَلامِ بِلا

مَنٍّ فلا زِلْتَ للتَّطْويقِ بالمنَنِ

And excellent discourse has served it faithfully, without

Any favor, so you remain deserving of wreaths.
