1. حُبِيتَ بريحانَتَي رَوضَةٍ

    وَبَعدَهُما جاءَ نَجلٌ أَغرّ

    You were gifted with a garden's two sweet-basil blossoms,

    And after them came a radiant son.

  2. وَسَميته اسمَ إمام إِذا

    رَآه أَبو مُرَّةٍ مِنهُ فَرّ

    And you gave him the name of an imam: when

    Abu Murrah saw him, he fled from him.

  3. وَلا عَجب مِنكَ عَبد العَزيز

    إِذا كانَ نَجلُك سُمّي عُمَر

    And it is no surprise from you, Abd al-Aziz,

    If your son has been named Umar.

  4. تَفَرَّعتما مِن إمام الهُدى

    وَبَدر الدُجى وَرَئيس البَشَر

    You both sprang from the imam of guidance,

    And the full moon of darkness, and the leader of humankind.

  5. فَلا زالَ يُوضِحُ سُبلَ الهدى

    وَلا زِلتُما تَقفُوانِ الأَثَر

    So may he never cease to clarify the paths of guidance,

    And may you both never cease to follow the trail.
