سطورُ كمالٍ خطّها قلمُ البها

بصفحة وجهٍ بالمحاسن قد زها

Lines of perfection written by the pen of glory

On a page, the face adorned with beauty

حروفٌ لمعنى الحسن جاءت ونظمها

به نحو إعراب الوقار قد انتهى

Letters conveying the meaning of beauty have come and composed it

In the mode of dignity's eloquence it has ended

كروضة كافورٍ ذكا نبت طيبها

بمسك عذارٍ فاح منه شذا النهى

Like a meadow of camphor where its sweet plants have grown

With pure musk whose wafted scent delights

فزدت به يا أحمد الذات بهجةً

لمرقى المعالي فيك سدرة منتهى

With it O Ahmed you have increased the essence of joy

To the ascent of glory within you, a Sidrat of utmost end

عذارك نادى حسن تاريخه ازدهى

سطور كمال خطّها قلم البها

Your pure musk has called, the beauty of its date has shone brightly

Lines of perfection written by the pen of glory
