    بِكَ قَدرُها بَينَ الوَرى يَتَشَرَّفُ

    Glad tidings to you in Egypt on attaining ranks

    whose standing among humankind is ennobled by you.

    وَمَناصب بَرفيعها تَتوظف

    And may yours be the joy of everlasting happiness,

    and offices, in the loftiest of which you serve,

  3. وَبِطُول عمر في سُرور دائم

    وَضِياء حلم معْه يُنسَى الأَحنَف

    and a long life in lasting joy,

    and the radiance of forbearance, beside which al-Ahnaf is forgotten,

  4. وَسَداد رَأيٍ في الرِياسة شَمسُه

    طَولَ المَدى في أُفقها لا تُكسَف

    and sound judgment in leadership, whose sun

    throughout all time is never eclipsed on its horizon.

    حسنٌ يَدوم لَهُ الزَمان المنصف

    And ever greater good fortune says in congratulation:

    “Hasan—may fair-dealing Time endure for him!”
