في ذُرى مَولى المَوالي

أَنا مِن بَعض المَوالي

In the protection of the Master of masters

I am one of the protected

جاءَني الإِحسانُ مِنهُ

سائِلاً قَبلَ سُؤالي

Blessings came to me from Him

Asking before my asking

بَسَطَت كَفَّ رَجائي

نِعَمٌ مِنهُ توالي

The palm of my hope expanded

Blessings from Him in succession

كَيفَ لا يَرثي لِحالي

وَاِنفِصالي عَن عيالي

How can He not grieve my state

And my separation from my family

كَيفَ لا يَسخو لِعَبدٍ

بِتَرَقٍّ وَاِنفِصالِ

How can He not be generous to a servant

In advancement and separation

كَيفَ لا وَالفَضلُ مِنهُ

كُلَّ حينٍ في تَوالي

How can He not when the bounty is from Him

Every time in continual succession

فَهوَ سَعدُ الملكِ وَالأَم

لاك فَيّاضُ النَوالِ

For He is the happiness of the kingdom and trusteeship

The dazzling bestower of benevolence

وَالَّذي شَرَّف كِيوا

نَ بحظٍّ مِنهُ عالِ

And the One who ennobled sustenance

With a share from Him Most High

وَأَعارَ المُشتَري حِل

ماً حَوى حُسنَ الخِصالِ

And lent the buyer a robe

Containing the beauty of attributes

وَاِنتَضى المَرّيخُ سَيفاً

زانَهُ حُسن الصِقالِ

And the Mars drew out a sword

Adorned with the polish of embellishing

وَكَسا الشَمس رِداءً

مُستَنيراً غَيرَ بالي

And clothed the Sun in a cloak

Radiant without wearing out

وَحَبا الزُهرَة أَخلا

قاً لَها لين اِعتِدالِ

And endowed Venus with temperament

Of soft moderation

ثُمَّ خَصَّ الكاتِبَ الحَب

رَ بِأَنواعِ الكَمالِ

Then singled out the writer's ink

With all kinds of perfection

وَأَقامَ القَمَر الفَر

دَ مُنيراً في اللَيالي

And established the individual moon

Illuminating in the nights

كُلُّها تُثني عَلَيهِ

بِمَقالٍ وَبِحالِ

All of them praise Him

In word and state

دامَ سَعداً لِلبَرايا

في نَعيمٍ بِاِتّصالِ

May He remain fortunate for mankind

In blissful connection

ما وَشى طِرساً أَديبٌ

بِنِظامٍ كَاللآلي

No composer has set gems

In order like the above
