1. The nightingale of purity on the branches lamenting
With melodies that entrance every listener

2. So he dictates to the breeze a tale
Enchanting the ears and the minds

3. News of the auspicious birth that was
Of Abd al-Rahman, embodying wonders

4. He came while good tidings raced ahead
And congratulations chased after

5. And the causes of joy have dated it
The light of Abd al-Rahman's birth heralded with glad tidings
