1. رقيتَ مقاماً انتَ في الناس فوقهُ

    لما لَكَ من مَجدٍ تَليدٍ وَطارفِ

    You have risen to a rank, yet among people you stand above it,

    for the glory you possess, both inherited and newly won,

  2. وَما لَكَ من فضلٍ وعدلٍ مؤَرَّخٍ

    فانتَ بإِنصافٍ مُديرُ المَناصفِ

    and for your merit and justice, recorded in history;

    so, with fairness, you are the administrator of al-Manasif.
