    ين قاضى القضاة ندبا سريا

    How excellent is the lord, the imam, Wali wa-al-D—

    —in, chief of judges, gallant and noble!

  2. رفع الله قدره فترقى

    من ذرى شرعه مكانا عليا

    God raised his rank, and so he ascended

    From the heights of His law to a lofty station.

  3. سأل الشرع ربه رب هب لي

    ولك الفضل من لدنك وليا

    And Yours is the bounty—a guardian from Your presence.'

    إنه كان وعده مأتيا

    Indeed, His promise was bound to be fulfilled.
