1. يا حائزاً غَايَ كلِّ فَضْلٍ

    تَضِلُّ في كُنْهِهِ الإحاطَهْ

    O possessor of the utmost of every excellence,

    In whose depths full comprehension loses its way;

  2. وَمَنْ تَرَقَّى إلى محلٍّ

    أَحْكَمَ فوق السّهَا مَنَاطَهْ

    And you who rose to a station,

    Firmly securing its anchor above al-Suhā:

  3. إلى متى أُسْعَطُ التَمَنّي

    ولا تَرَى المنّ بالوِسَاطَهْ

    How long shall I be dosed with longing as snuff,

    While you do not consider bestowing favors through intercession?
