1. هنئت بالأعوام تلبس بردها

    متجدّداً ويماط عنك خليع

    May you be blessed with the years, wearing their mantle,

    renewed, while a cast-off garment is removed from you,

  2. في نعمةٍ جزمت بأنك خافضٌ

    قدرَ الحسود وقدرُك المرفوع

    amid bounty that affirms you bring low

    the envier’s standing, while your own is exalted.

  3. قد أعجبت فيها الشهور وأعشبت

    للقاصدين فكلّهنّ ربيع

    Indeed, within it the months have delighted and grown green

    for those who come seeking; thus all of them are spring.
