1. يا أحمَدُ المحمودُ في ال

    أفعالِ من كلِّ النواحي

    O Ahmad, praised for your

    deeds in every respect,

  2. قُمْ فانتهزها فرصةً

    قد أمكنتْكَ بلا جِماحِ

    rise, and seize it as an opportunity

    that has offered itself to you without resistance.

  3. واجلِبْ بها ما شِئْتَ من

    خُلُقَيْ ثنائي وامتداحي

    And draw forth through it whatever you wish from

    the two qualities of my praise and eulogy;

  4. فلعلّ راحتَه السحا

    بُ وأنت من بعضِ الرياحِ

    for perhaps his palm is the cloud,

    and you are one of the winds.
