1. The nightingale of intimacy twittered when you came
Oh you who are unique in your time

2. The joy that faded with your absence
Returned renewed when you came in safety

3. Oh you who are unmatched, you gathered the glories
After they had scattered and parted

4. A lifetime has brought us your nearness
After an age of remoteness that lasted against us

5. So welcome to you are the visit and pilgrimage
And attaining what you wished for in every scene

6. Stop for a while with might and protection
While the envious neighbor schemes and resents

7. Enter the house secure and reassured
And savor the fresh cold water of Zamzam

8. Then return to us in safety and to Him
Every year you return and return is best

9. And renew the assembly of hadith that was
Tied with your lofty sitting, a string of pearls

10. You who has no peer in this time in glory
For you in truth belongs all prestige

11. You narrated prophetic customs from the words
Of Ibn Kathir, soundly transmitted chains

12. And you spread the love in the assembly of merit
For you in it belongs pride in earnest and jest

13. For you from us in every time is prayer
And praise that reveals wit and purpose

14. And for us from you is a gathering with light
Whoever comes troubled, leaves happy

15. How much sublime poetry we gathered in it
And how much melodious chants we heard

16. And we gleaned from its essence fruits
That cannot be counted, so boundless

17. Oh may God protect a gathering with you
Amongst the people of perfection and sacred knowledge enshrouded

18. A gathering you are in it the shining moon
And around you circle the conversations

19. The hadith masters relating from you
Or witnessing to your merit give testimony

20. It gives joy to the eyes, for you are worthy of glory
For God, this pride is forever lasting

21. Your ancestors gained leadership long ago
Then it came to you by duty and return

22. Oh what a leadership that continues
Joseph of the times, ever presiding

23. May God increase you every new dawn
With blessings that keep extending through gratitude
