1. The auspicious bird has flown to you
With what you wished and more beside

2. So welcome life for thousands of years
In fresh new raiment to abide

3. Time will confirm each promise made
To you, and none of threats provide

4. If youth begins to pass away
Renewing Time will be your guide

5. A shining planet you've been given
With a willow in its shade that sways

6. Her kindness has been shown through good
Nay, even more than hoped for says

7. Today, beneath her shade is short
Yet life, when near is long delayed

8. Each night of time a wedding feast
And every day a holiday

9. If you weren't favored with good luck
Far hopes would not have come this way

10. Good news, Abu Ahmed of an heir
Praiseworthy, O commended one

11. So do not fear that fickle Time
Will play you false, pre-eminent one

12. The rugged path is now made smooth
For you, and difficulty's shunned
