لَقَد فُقتَ اِبنَ سالِمٍ البَرايا

لَقَد فُقتَ اِبنَ سالِمٍ البَرايا

بِما خُوِّلتَ مِن قَدَرٍ رَفيعِ

بِما خُوِّلتَ مِن قَدَرٍ رَفيعِ

Indeed, Ibn Salim, you have surpassed all creation,

You have surpassed the son of Salem in nobility

By the lofty rank bestowed upon you.

With what you have been endowed of sublime fate

حَسُنتَ فَكُنتَ لَذّةَ كُلّ عَينٍ

حَسُنتَ فَكُنتَ لَذّةَ كُلّ عَينٍ

كَأَنَّكَ قَد خُلِقتَ مِن الهُجوعِ

كَأَنَّكَ قَد خُلِقتَ مِن الهُجوعِ

You are beautiful, and so have become the delight of every eye,

You have excelled, so you became the delight of all eyes

As though you had been created from slumber.

As if you were created from pure gold
