أبا الصقرِ قد أصبحتَ في ظلّ نعمةٍ

أبا الصقرِ قد أصبحتَ في ظلّ نعمةٍ

إليها انتهى تأميلُ كُلّ مؤمّلِ

إليها انتهى تأميلُ كُلّ مؤمّلِ

O Abu al-Saqr, you have come to dwell in the shade of a blessing,

O Abu Al-Saqr, you have come to live in the shade of a blessing

the ultimate goal of every hopeful soul's aspiration.

To which the hopes of all hopeful ones have come to an end

فدونَك ظلُّ المستديمِ لظلِّها

فدونَك ظلُّ المستديمِ لظلِّها

وإنْ كنتَ فيه دائباً غيرَ مُؤتلي

وإنْ كنتَ فيه دائباً غيرَ مُؤتلي

Before you, then, lies the shade of one who seeks to perpetuate its shade,

For you is the shade that lasts forever in its shadow

though you are diligent in this, never slackening.

Even if you are constantly residing in it without tiring

وما دعَمَ الأقوامُ ظُلَّةَ نَعمةٍ

وما دعَمَ الأقوامُ ظُلَّةَ نَعمةٍ

بمثلِ مُحقٍّ تحتها متظلّلِ

بمثلِ مُحقٍّ تحتها متظلّلِ

And no people have ever propped up a blessing's canopy

And no people have supported the shade of a blessing

with the like of a deserving man sheltering beneath it.

With a more rightful claim, while taking shelter beneath it
