1. قُدومُ سعادةٍ وقُفولُ يُمْنٍ

    هي السَّرَّاءُ تَنْسَخُ كُلَّ حُزْنِ

    The coming of happiness and the return of good fortune—

    It is joy that effaces every sorrow.

  2. بدا قمر البهاءِ يُزَفُّ زَفّاً

    ورُكْنُ المُلْكِ معضوداً بِرُكنِ

    The moon of splendor appeared, escorted in procession,

    And the pillar of kingship, supported by a pillar.

  3. وهبَّ نسيمه وذَكا نثاه

    فيالِلَّهِ من طِيبٍ وحُسْنِ

    And his breeze blew, and his fragrance grew strong;

    So, O God, what fragrance and beauty!

  4. أظَلَّتْهُ السلامةُ ما تَغَنَّتْ

    مطوَّقةٌ تَرنَّم فوق غصن

    May safety shade him as long as there sings

    A ring-necked dove, warbling upon a bough.
