أَجَزْتُكَ بابنَ السُّراةِ الأُولى

غَدَتْ لَهُمُ المكْرُماتُ الشِّعارا

I have rewarded you, O son of the eminent family,

Honors have become their motto,

وَصَاروا الصُّدورَ وشُرّاحَها

ونالوا برَغْمِ الْقِصارِ الْقُصَارَى

And they have become the breasts and their explainers,

And they have attained the utmost despite the shortcoming,

فَسَلْ بِهِمُ مُعْضِلاتِ الْعُلُوم

وَسَل بِهِمُ المثقلاتِ الكِبارَا

So ask through them the problematic sciences,

And ask through them the heavily laden elders,

سَقَى الله من ضَمَدٍ مُوْطِناً

أَقَالُوا بِهِ وأَقالُوا الْعِثَارا

May God water a loving abode,

They unburdened it and unburdened adversity,

وجَادَ الْحَيَا الْجَوْدُ صَبَيا التي

أَمَالَتْ بِهِمْ عِطْفَها اِفْتِخارا

And the life of the youth flowed generously

Who have inclined their kindness to pride through them,

لِوَفْدِ الْمَعالِي غدَتْ رِحْلَةٌ

بِهِمْ ولِوَفْدِ المعَاني مَزَارا

For the delegation of sublime meanings, the journey has become

Through them and for the delegation of meanings a shrine,

أَلا فَارُوِعَنّي الْعُلُومَ التي

مَنَحْتُكَها جَهْرَةً أو سَرارا

Lo, awe me with the sciences which

I have given you openly or secretly,

فأنْتَ الذي نَالَ كُلَّ الْمُنَى

شَباباً وَصَارَ الذي لا يُبارِى

For you are the one who has attained all wishes,

Youth and become unmatched,

ومن قَصَّرَتْ عَنْ مَدَاهُ الشُّيوخُ

وَمَا أَنْبَتَ العارِضانِ الْعِذارا

And the elders fell short of his extent,

And the cheeks did not grow any excuses,

ولا تَنْسَنِي منْ صِلاَتِ الدُّعاءِ

إذَا الْبَيْنُ لا كانَ نَادَى جِهارا

And do not forget me from the prayer of supplication

When separation calls out loud,
