1. جَمعَ اللهُ في الأميرِ أبي نَصْ

    رٍ خِصالاً تعلو بِها الأقدارُ

    God has gathered in the emir Abu Nas-

    r qualities through which ranks rise:

  2. راحَةً ثَرَّةً وصَدراً فضَاءً

    وذَكاءً تبدو له الأسرارُ

    a bountiful palm and a spacious breast,

    and an intellect to which secrets reveal themselves.

  3. خَطُّهُ رَوْضَةٌ وألفاظهُ الأز

    هارُ يَضحَكْنَ والمَعانِي ثِمارُ

    His handwriting is a garden, and his words are the flow-

    ers that laugh, and the meanings are fruits.
