1. مَقَامُكَ فَوْقَ مَا يَهِبُ الوِسَامُ

    وَأوْسِمَة مَسَاعِيكَ الجِسَامُ

    Your standing is above what a medal can bestow,

    And your mighty endeavors are medals.

  2. وَأَنْ يَتَبَاهَى بِالأَخْطَارِقُوْمٌ

    فَحَسْبُكَ أَنَّكَ الفَرْدُ الهُمَامُ

    And if some people boast of perils,

    It is enough that you are the peerless, valiant one,

  3. وَأَنَّكَ مُحْرِزٌ قَصَبَ المَعَالِي

    بِحَيْثُ غَدَتْ ذُرَاهَا لا تُرَامُ

    And that you have won the prize-reed of lofty honors,

    So that their summits are now beyond reach;

  4. وَأَنَّكَ إِنْ يَضَمْ لِلنَّاسِ جَار

    فَجَارُكَ لا يَهُونُ وَلا يُضَامُ

    And that, if a neighbor of others is wronged,

    Your neighbor is neither abased nor oppressed.

  5. أَضَفْتَ إِلَى التَّلِيدِ طَرِيفَ جَاهِ

    وَقَلْبُكَ بِالمَحَامِدِ مُسْتَهَامُ

    You have added newly won prestige to inherited honor,

    And your heart is enamored of praiseworthy deeds.

  6. وَحَيْثُ تَيَقَّظُوا لِلشَّيْنِ نَامَتْ

    عَيُونُكَ عَنْهُ مَا كَرُمَ المَنَامُ

    And where they kept watch for faults, there slept

    Your eyes, heedless of them—how noble that slumber!
