1. مُحيّا المعالي مُسفرُ ذو تهلّل

    طليقُ جبينٍ بالسرورِ مكلّلِ

    The countenance of lofty honors is radiant and beaming,

    With an open brow crowned with joy,

  2. مصعّر خدّ باِعتزازٍ مورّد

    مُشزّر طرفٍ با أقبلِ

    A rosy cheek turned aside in pride,

    A stern, sidelong gaze—[the remaining phrase is unclear].

  3. كأنّ عَلى ديباجَتيه أزاهرا

    تَجسّدن مِن معنى الهنا بتشكُّلِ

    As though flowers upon its two cheeks

    Had taken bodily form from the essence of bliss.
