1. يا طَبيب السِياسة المملكيَّهْ

    وَدواها مِن كل داء عُضالِ

    O physician of royal governance,

    and its remedy for every incurable illness,

  2. وَقوام الرِياسة اليوسفيهْ

    بِسَدادٍ مرشَّحٍ باحتفال

    and mainstay of Yusuf's leadership,

    with sound judgment reinforced by attentive care;

  3. يا أَبا مصطفى وَيا اِبن رَسول ال

    لَه ذي المَجد وَالعُلا وَالجَلال

    O Abu Mustafa, O descendant of the Messenger of

    God, possessor of glory, sublimity, and majesty:

  4. مِنكَ أَرجو نجاز وَعد كَريم

    شامل في وفائه لِلمَوالي

    From you I hope for fulfillment of a generous promise,

    embracing the retainers in its fulfillment:

  5. وَهوَ صَرفٌ لسبعة مِن شهور

    مَع يَومين أَو ثلاث لَيال

    and it is payment for seven months,

    with two days or three nights,

  6. وَالمعافاة مِن سِهام أَصابَت

    مُهجَتي مِن قسيِّها كَالنبال

    and deliverance from arrows that have struck

    my heart from their bows, like shafts.

  7. وَاضطراري في مدّة العَزل أَودى

    بي إِلى ما أَضرّني مَع عيالي

    And my dire need during my time out of office has driven

    me to what harmed me and my dependents.

  8. فَأَقل عَثرَتي فَإِنيَ عَبدٌ

    لَكَ شُكري يَزداد في أَيّ حال

    So lift me from my fall, for I am a servant

    to you; my gratitude grows in every circumstance.

  9. زادَكَ اللَه عزةً وَقبولاً

    وَاِمتيازاً عَلى جَميع الرِجال

    May God increase you in honor and acceptance,

    and in distinction above all men,

  10. ما تَحلَّى عَلى الدَوام بِمَدحي

    فيكَ بَينَ الأَنام جيدُ المَعالي

    so long as my praise ever adorns

    the neck of noble deeds, in your honor among mankind.
