1. The month of fasting has come with the most joyous birth
Of the truthful son, the noble and virtuous one
١. شَهر الصِيام أَتى بِأَبهَج مَولدِ
لِلصادق النَجل الرَفيع المحتدِ
2. And for his father its crescent has appeared
From a sun of beauty the like of which has not been found
٢. وَبَدا لِوالده الكميّ هلاله
مِن شَمس حُسن مثلُها لَم يُوجد
3. So on the eighth after ten have passed
Of that noble and peerless month
٣. فَلَثامنٍ مِن بَعد عَشرٍ قَد خَلَت
مِن ذَلِكَ الشَهر الكَريم المُفرَد
4. I recited out of joy with that dating
The felicity of the trusteeship of Yusuf with Muhammad
٤. أَنشدت مِن طَرَب بِذاك مُؤرِّخاً
سَعدت أَمانة يُوسف بِمحمد
