1. لاحت عليك من الأسرار أنوار

    وطيبُ ذكرك فاحت منهُ أزهارُ

    Lights from the mysteries have shone upon you,

    And blossoms have wafted their scent from the fragrance of your name.

  2. وأصبحت من أفانين الثّناء على

    أفنان فضلك في الافاق أطيارُ

    And now, from the varied arts of praise, upon

    The boughs of your excellence across the horizons perch birds.

  3. فأنت حليٌ بجيد الدّهر مُنتظمٌ

    به وأنت له سمعٌ وأبصارُ

    For you are an ornament at Time's neck, strung

    Upon it; and you are its hearing and its sight.

  4. عمرت قلبي بأسرار البيان فلم

    أخشى عليه الخلا إذ أنت عمّارُ

    You filled my heart with the secrets of eloquence, so I did not

    Fear its desolation, since you are its builder.
