1. يا اِبنَ الوَزيرِ وَالوَزيرُ أَنتا

    لِذا رَجاؤُكَ فَكَيفَ كُنتا

    O son of the vizier, yourself the vizier!

    Your hope is for this—so how were you?

  2. أَغراكَ بِالجَريِ فَما وَقَفتا

    وَلا إِلى غَيرِ العُلا اِلتَفَتّا

    It spurred you to run, and you did not stop,

    nor did you turn toward anything but the heights of glory,

  3. حَتّى بَلَغتَ الآنَ ما بَلَغتا

    فَراحَ فينا سالِماً وَدُمتا

    until you attained what you have now attained.

    So he went safely among us, and may you endure.
