إِلَيكَ التَهاني تستحث وُفودُها
وَفيكَ القَوافي يُستَمالُ شُرودُها
وَتُسلِكُنا فيها مَعانيكَ هَينَةً
إِذا اِستَصبَحَت أَقبالُها وَنُجودُها
تُعاتِبُ عَزمي فيكَ كُلَّ خَليقَةٍ
عَلَيها سَرابيلُ العُلى وَبُرودَها
كَأَنّي قَرَضتُ الشِعرِ قَبلَ زَمانِهِ
لِيوجِبَ في يَومٍ عَلى نَشيدِها
وَكُنتُ إِذا ما اِعتَمتُ صَمتي عَنِ الثَنا
أُكَلِّفُ نَفسي خُطَّةً ما تُريدُها
فَإِن كُنتُ لِلحُسنى عَميداً وَصاحِباً
فَإِنّى مَديحاً صَبَّها وَعَميدَها
وَإِن صيغَ عِقدُ المَدحِ فيكَ فَطالَما
تَحَلَّت بِكَ العَلياءَ وَاِزدانَ جيدُها
كَأَنَّكَ مِن ماءِ الشَهامَةِ مَنهَلٌ
تَظَلُّ العُلى حَرى إِلَيهِ كُبودُها
لَقَد شَمِلَت مِنكَ الجَميعُ بِلُطفِها
شَمائِلَ يُزري بِالشُمولِ وُرودُها
وَقَد فُزتُ حَظّاً بِالمُعَلّى مِنَ العُلى
فَتَقَدَّحَ ناراً في يَدَيكَ صُلودُها
حَصَلتُ عَلى شَمِّ المَعالي فَلَم يَزَل
بِأُفقِ العَنانِ البَدرَ وَهوَ حَسودُها
صَبَوتُ إِلَيها وَهيَ نَحوَكَ قَد صِبتُ
فَلا غَروَ أَن تَفتَنَّ بِحُسنِكَ غيدُها
غَلَبتُ القَوافي كُلَّها وَسَبَقتُها
وَإِن يَزرُ بِالدرِ النَضيدِ نَضيدُها
Bَهِمَّةِ مِقدامِ العَزيمَةِ لا تَرى
عَياءَ وَلا وَقعُ الصِعابِ يَؤودُها
وَأَخلاقُ مَيمونِ النَقيبَةِ ما يَني
يَصوبُ بِها غَيثُ الثَنا وَيجودُها
فَتى لَو أَعارَ الشَمسَ ضَوءَ جَبينِهِ
لَمّا ساغَ تَحتَ الدَجُنِّ يَوماً رُبودُها
وَلَو لا بَسَ الظَلماءَ نورَ جَنانِهِ
لَما اِحتيجَ مِن نورِ الصَباحِ وَقودُها
وَلَو مَزَجَ اللَهُ الحَياةَ بِلُطفِهِ
لَمّا اِحتَمَلَت سَقمَ الجُسومِ جُلودِها
نَشا كَلَفاً بِالمَكرُماتِ فَلَم تَزَل
لَهُ نَفَحاتٌ لَيسَ يَجحَد جودُها
إِلى الغايَةِ القُصوى مَنازِعُ هَمِّهِ
فَأَقرَبُ هاتيكَ المَغازي بِعيدِها
توليهِ ذاتَ الأَروعِيَّةِ نَفسَهُ
عَلى عَقَباتٍ لا يُرامُ كُؤودِها
يَهتِكَ أَستارَ المَغالِقِ حَزمَهُ
لَدّى مُعضِلاتٍ لا يُنادي وَليدُها
إِذا اِعتَرَضَت دَهمُ عَوابِسٍ في الوَرى
فَمِنهُ لَهُم مَهديها وَرَشيدُها
عَلى مُلتَقى سُبُلِ المَعاني تَخالُهُ
فَمُبتَدِرٌ مِن كُلِّ صَوبٍ يَصيدُها
أَما لَت لَهُ كُلِّ القُلوبِ مِنَ الوَرى
مَكارِمٌ تَترى في القُلوبِ قُيودَها
لَقَد أَلِفَ الأَفضالَ وَهوَ رَبيبُهُ
وَهَل تَألَفِ الأَغيالَ إِلّا اِسوَدَّها
وَلا قَت بِهِ زَهرَ السُعودِ جُدودَهُ
كَما تَتَلاقى في البُروجِ سُعودَها
رَعى اللهُ مَن يَرعى المَوَدَّةَ وَالوَلا
بِباصِرَةٍ ما يَطَّبيها هُجودَها
أَيا حَسَناً لَم يَبقَ حَسَناً لِغَيرِهِ
بِرِفعَةِ شَأنٍ لَم يَزَل يَستَزيدَها
وَيا مَخولاً لا تارِكاً طارِفَ العُلى
إِذا كانَ أَولاكَ الغِناءَ تَليدَها
عَشِقنا مَعانيكَ الحِسانَ وَإِنَّها
وَحَقُّكَ عَينٌ لا يُطاقُ صُدودَها
تَضاحَكَ ثَغرُ الأُقحُوانِ ثُغورَها
وَتَفضَحُ وَاللَهُ الشَقيقُ خُدودَها
تَباهَت بِكَ الأَقلامُ أَنَّكَ رَبَّها
وَأَنَّكَ مَطبوعُ المَعاني مَجيدُها
فَخُذها مِنَ الشِعرِ العِراقي غادَةً
تَناهَت إِلى ماءِ السَماءِ جُدودَها
عَلى غَيرِ عَهدٍ بِالثَناءِ وَلَم يَكُن
حِداها إِلى ناديكَ إِلّا عُهودَها
وَقَد أَنفَذَتها نَحوَ مَدحِكَ هِمَّةً
تَجاذَبَها إِقدامُها وَقُعودَها
أَخا الحُسنِ فَاِهنَأ بِالزَفافِ الَّذي زَها
وَدامَت لَكَ الدُنيا وَأَنتَ سَعيدُها
وَدُم بِهَنا هَذا القَرانَ مُمَتَّعاً
قَرينُكَ مِن هَذي الحَياةِ غيدُها
بَقيتَ بَقاءَ الدَهرِ فَخراً لِأَهلِهِ
وَخُلِّدَت لَو نَفسٌ يَرجى خُلودُها
وَلا زِلتَ بَدرَ الشَرقِ ماذَرَّ شارِقٌ
وَما طَلعَةَ الإِصباحِ لاحَ عَمودُها
