1. يا أيها الملك الذي كلّ الرجا

    والرّوع بين يراعه وحسامه

    O king, who holds all hope

    And terror between his reed pen and his sword,

  2. هنئت شهراً مثل طرف ساكت

    يسعى به المخدوم نحو مرامه

    May you be congratulated on a month like a silent steed,

    Upon which the master advances toward his goal.

  3. جمع الثريا والهلال وإنما

    وافى إليك بسرجه ولجامه

    It has brought together the Pleiades and the crescent, yet has only

    Come to you with its saddle and bridle.
