أعطَى مُحَّمدُ عِزَّةٍ من فَضلِهِ

شَرَفاً لِساحَتِنا بوَطْأةِ نَعلهِ

Muhammad has bestowed honor from his grace

Giving dignity to our domain by the tread of his sandal

قَسَمَ اسمَهُ السَّامي فنالَ مُحَمَّداً

منهُ وأعطَى عِزَّةً لمَحلِّهِ

His noble name allotted Muhammad

Giving him honor and bestowing grace on his abode

هذا الوزيرُ وزيرُ سُلطانِ الوَرَى

وخليفةِ اللهِ العليِّ وظِلِّهِ

This minister, minister of the Sultan of mankind

And Caliph of God Most High, His shade

أخفَيتُ عن داري بِشارةَ وَفْدِهِ

كي لا تصفِقَ بالسُّرورِ لأجلهِ

I concealed from my house the tidings of his delegation

Lest it clap with joy for his sake

يا زائراً بيتي أراك فَتَنْتَهُ

فَعَليكَ بَيتٌ غيرُهُ من مِثلِهِ

Oh visitor to my house, you have seduced it

So seek a house other than it of its like

أجْلَلتَهُ عَنّي فصِرتُ أهابُهُ

حَتَّى كأنّي لم أكُنْ من أهلِهِ

You have made it too lofty for me, so I have come to dread it

As though I were not one of its folk
