Sol 6.1

  1. مَكارمُ الصَدر وَليّ العَهدِ

    جلّت لَدى إحصائها عَن عدِّ

    The noble deeds of the chief, the heir apparent,

    are, when reckoned, too great to count.

  2. وَمَن يدَي عَليائه عَلى الوَرى

    فاضَت بِحارُ ما لَها مِن حَدّ

    And from the hands of His Highness over humankind

    have flowed seas that know no bounds.

  3. وَهَذِه أَوطانه فازَت بِما

    تَطلبه مِن عَدله المُمتد

    And these homelands of his have gained what

    they seek from his far-reaching justice.

  4. وَالملك وَالدين بِها كِلاهُما

    يُومي بِإِخلاص لَهُ في الودّ

    And sovereignty and religion there both

    signal sincere affection for him.

  5. وَكَيفَ لا وَقد غَدَت آراؤه

    في الحُكم أَمضى مِن سُيوف الهند

    And how could they not, when his counsels have become

    in governance sharper than the swords of India?

  6. وَأَنصف المَظلوم في فَصل القَضا

    مِن خَصمه وَعَمّه بِالرَفد

    And in passing judgment he gave the wronged man justice

    against his adversary, and showered him with bounty.

  7. لازالَ يحيي كُلَّ رَسم دارس

    مِن المَعالي كَأب وَجدّ

    May he never cease reviving every faded trace

    of lofty deeds, as did his father and grandfather,

  8. ما نالَ كُل آمل مَأموله

    في دَولة مَقرونة بِالسَعد

    so long as every hopeful soul attains his hope

    in a reign wedded to good fortune,

  9. وَاِزدادَ بَين الناس قَدري رفعة

    بِبَثّ ما لا يَنتهي مِن حمد

    and my standing among people rises higher

    through spreading praise that knows no end,

  10. وَما تَحلّى مِن جناسات الثَنا

    عَلَيهِ دِيوان الخديم مَجدي

    and so long as the wordplay of praise adorns

    the collected verse of the humble servant Majdi, in his honor.
