1. قالت وقد رأَتِ النَّدَى

    والمجدَ جاءا في قَرَنْ

    She said, having seen generosity

    and glory come yoked together,

  2. وتنزّهتْ أجفانُها

    باللَّحظ في وجهٍ حَسَنْ

    while her eyelids took their pleasure

    in gazing upon a handsome face:

  3. بالله قومي واسأَلي

    مَن ذا المعظَّمُ وابنُ مَن

    “By God, rise and ask

    who this exalted one is, and whose son.”

  4. فأَجبتُها هذا العزِي

    زُ المصطفى مَلِكُ الزَّمن

    I answered her: “This is al-ʿAzīz,

    the chosen one, king of the age,

  5. وابنُ الإمام المجتبي

    وابنُ النبيِّ المؤتَمن

    and son of the chosen Imam,

    and son of the trusted Prophet.”

  6. قالت كذا يُعطي الإل

    هُ ولِيَّه كلَّ المنَن

    She said: “Thus does God grant

    His friend every blessing.”
