1. لِيوسف في خَير البِقاع مَناقبُ

    بِها في ظِلال العَدل تَعلو مَراتبُ

    Yusuf has virtues in the finest of lands;

    through them, ranks rise in the shade of justice.

  2. وَهمَّتُه في كُل أَمرٍ مُضيئةٌ

    بِنور بِهِ في مَصر تُجلى غَياهب

    And his resolve shines in every undertaking

    with a light by which deep darkness is dispelled in Egypt.

  3. وفيهِ صِفات كَلَّ عَن حَصرِ بَعضِها

    بِأَسنى سِجلات الفَضائل حاسب

    And he has qualities: counting even some defeats

    a reckoner using the most splendid registers of virtue.

  4. وَرتبتُهُ العُليا بِهِ قَد تَشرَّفت

    وَلاحَت تُهنّيها لَديهِ الكَواكب

    And his exalted rank has indeed been ennobled by him,

    and the stars shone forth before him to congratulate it.

  5. فَلا زالَ بِالتَوفيق يَسمو وَيَرتقي

    وَتَصفو لَهُ بَينَ الأَنام مَشارب

    So may he never cease to rise and ascend with success,

    and may his sources of drink run clear among humankind;

  6. وَيَخدمه الإقبال في دَولة العُلا

    وَتَسمو بِهِ طُول الزَمان مَناصب

    and may good fortune serve him in the realm of glory,

    and may offices be exalted through him for all time.
