1. تَرقى سَعيدٌ وافر الحَزم وَالتُقى

    وَحلّاك يا جَيد المَعالي قَلائدُ

    Sa'id rose in rank, rich in resolve and piety;

    And necklaces adorned you, O neck of lofty honors.

  2. فَإِن سَعيداً دُونه كُل رتبة

    يقصر عَنها بِالفَضائل صاعد

    For beneath Sa'id lies every rank

    That one who rises through virtue falls short of reaching.

  3. وَبِالسَبق في خَير الأُمور جِياده

    And the lead in the noblest deeds his steeds—

    Newly acquired and inherited alike—win for him.

  4. وَلما سَما بالامتياز وَأَشرَقَت

    كَواكبه بِالسَعد وَاِنحَط حاسد

  5. أَشار لَهُ مَجدي يَقول مؤرخاً

    “Sa'id: a chief, lofty in affection, noble.”
