1. إِلى المَجلس العالي دَعتكَ المَسائِلُ

    فَقُم لِلمَعالي فَهِيَ عَنكَ تَسائَلُ

    Affairs have summoned you to the High Council.

    So rise to lofty honors, for they ask after you.

  2. أَفض في ذَراهُ نور حَزمك طالَما

    دَعاكَ لِكَشف الخَطب وَهُوَ يُناضِلُ

    Pour the light of your resolve upon its heights; how often

    It called you to dispel calamity while it struggled.

  3. لَئن كُنتَ قَد فارَقتهُ مُدَةً فَما

    بِذَلِكَ بدعٌ قَد تُمَلُّ المَنازِلُ

    Though you have left it for a time, there is nothing

    Strange in that; one may grow weary of dwellings.

  4. وَما الحَملُ الأَعلى إِلى الشَمس دائِماً

    مَقَرٌّ بِهِ جَيش الأَشِعَةِ نازِلُ

    Nor is lofty Aries forever the sun's

    Abode where the army of rays encamps.

  5. كَذاكَ يَعود البَدر بَعد غِيابِهِ

    وَلَكن هِلالاً لِلعُلى وَهُوَ ناحِلُ

    Likewise, the full moon returns after its absence,

    But as a slender crescent in the heights.

  6. وَأَنتَ لَنا في الكَون بَدرُ جَلالَةٍ

    أَعيد إِلى آفاقِهِ وَهُوَ كامِلُ

    And you are, for us in this world, a full moon of majesty,

    Restored to its horizons while still full.

  7. فَأَحيي نُفوس الناس إِنَّكَ طالَما

    أَفَضتَ لَنا الأَلطاف وَالخَلق ناهِلُ

    So revive people's souls, for you have so often

    Poured kindness upon us while humankind drank.

  8. وَدَع منهل الإِحسان يَجري عَلى المَلا

    فَقَد ظَمأوا وَالكَون لِلفَضلِ سائِلُ

    And let the spring of benevolence flow over the people,

    For they have grown thirsty, and the world asks for bounty.

  9. أَيا واحد الدُنيا وَيا بَطَل العُلى

    وَيا هام مَجدٍ كَلَلتَهُ الفَضائِلُ

    O peerless one of the world, and O champion of glory,

    And O pinnacle of glory, crowned by the virtues,

  10. لِفكركَ في لَيل المَشاكل صارِمٌ تَلمَعَ

    مِنهُ تَستَعيزُ المَشاكِلُ

    Your thought has a sword that flashes in the night of troubles;

    From it, troubles seek refuge.

  11. قَد اِفتَخَرت فيكَ المُلوك مَقَرّةً

    بِفَضلِكَ وَأَنجَرَّت إِلَيكَ القَبائِلُ

    Kings have taken pride in you, acknowledging

    Your excellence, and the tribes have been drawn to you.

  12. وَقَد لِحتَ في دار السَعادة كَوكَباً

    بِهِ السَعدُ وَالإِقبالُ لِلكَون شامِلُ

    And you shone in the Abode of Felicity as a star,

    Through which good fortune and prosperity embrace the world.

  13. رَأَكَ مَليكُ المَجد بَينَ رِجالِهِ

    حُساماً عَلَيهِ لِلفَخار حمائِلُ

    The king of glory saw you among his men,

    A keen sword bearing the baldrics of glory.

  14. وَلَما رَأهم في أَثير سَمائِهِ

    بُدوراً تُنير الأُفقِ وَهِيَ كَوامِلُ

    And when he saw them in the ether of his sky,

    Full moons lighting the horizon in their fullness,

  15. دَعاهُم لِأَبراجِ المَعالي مُؤرِخاً

    فَعادَ إِلى صَدرِ الرِياسَة كامِلُ

    He summoned them to the towers of glory, marking the date:

    So Kamil returned to the seat of leadership.
