1. O you who have reached sixty years of age
We wish you would reach a hundred
١. يَا بَالِغَ السِّتِّينَ مِنْ عُمْرِهِ
نَوَدُّ لَوْ بُلِّغْتَ فِيهِ المِئِينْ
2. Raising a building between the minarets of guidance
The lighthouse of the East in both worlds
٢. دُمْ رَافِعاً بَيْنَ مَنَارِ الهُدَى
مَنَارَةَ المَشْرِقِ فِي العَالَمِينْ
3. From the darkness of night comes the morning glow
And from the obscurities of doubt comes certainty
٣. مِنْ فَحَمَاتِ اللَّيْلِ تَجْلُو الضُّحَى
وَظُلُمَاتِ الرَّيْبِ تَجْلُو اليَقِينْ
4. And from the hidden places of people you reveal what
You have experienced of every buried treasure
٤. وَمِنْ طَوَايَا النَّاسِ تُبْدِي بِمَا
خَبْرْتَ مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ كَنْزٍ دَفِينْ
