1. يهنيكَ في حسب أبا اسحاقِ

    شرفُ العلى ومكارم الأَخلاقِ

    May you be blessed in your ancestral honor, Abu Ishaq,

    with the glory of lofty rank and the virtues of character.

  2. ياسيداً بسط النّدى حتى نضا

    بالبرّ عنا حلةَ الإملاقِ

    O master, you spread your bounty until you stripped

    from us, through kindness, the robe of destitution.

  3. وأعاد فيض حياة أفنان الغنى

    بين العفاة كثيرةَ الإيراقِ

    And restored life's flow to the branches of wealth,

    among seekers of bounty, abundant in foliage.

  4. لم يخل موضع ماله من نفسه

    إلا لفرط حلاوة الانفاقِ

    The place his wealth held within his soul was never emptied,

    except through the surpassing sweetness of giving.

  5. يا آل نبهانٍ لقد تاهت بكم

    سَمَدٌ وفاقت سائر الآفاقِ

    O house of Nabhan, through you she has swelled with pride—

    Samad—and surpassed all other horizons.

  6. وكأنّما قد قدرت في مالكم

    للعالمين مكاسبُ الأَرزاقِ

    And it is as though within your wealth were ordained

    for all humankind the means of livelihood.

  7. وكفاكم نسباً إلى درك العلى

    مِننٌ لكم شُهرت على الأَعناق

    And sufficient as your lineage for attaining lofty rank

    are your benefactions, made manifest upon people's necks.

  8. منن هي الأَغلال إن كُفرت وإن

    شكرت ففي الأَعناق والأَطواق

    Benefactions that are shackles if denied; and if

    acknowledged with thanks, they rest upon necks and necklaces.

  9. ولأَنتَ إبراهيم في درج العلى

    أَبداً على شرف المجرّة راقي

    And you indeed, Ibrahim, on the steps of lofty rank,

    are forever ascending the heights of the Milky Way.

  10. لازلتَ محروساً وعزك قاهرُ

    وذَراك معمُورٌ وعُمرك باقي

    May you ever remain guarded, and your might triumphant,

    and your haven well peopled, and your life enduring.
