ليَهنِ الصاحبَ المسعودَ عيدٌ

ليَهنِ الصاحبَ المسعودَ عيدٌ

تولَّته السعادُة والقبولُ

May a festival gladden the fortunate al-Sahib,

May this auspicious friend enjoy Festival days

watched over by good fortune and favor.

Good fortune and acceptance have come his way

لهُ من مجدِهِ غُررٌ توالى

لهُ من مجدِهِ غُررٌ توالى

عليه ومن مدائِحهِ حُجُولُ

عليه ومن مدائِحهِ حُجُولُ

It has white blazes from his glory, appearing in succession

He has a stream of glories that keep flowing

upon it, and white stockings from praises of him.

And praises that surround him like flocks

فلا زالت له الأعيادَ تَترى

فلا زالت له الأعيادَ تَترى

تتابعُ بينها العمرُ الطويلُ

تتابعُ بينها العمرُ الطويلُ

So may festivals never cease coming to him in succession,

So his Festivals follow on, an unbroken line

with long life unfolding between them.

As the long years of life pass by

ولا بَرحَت به الأفلاكُ تجري

ولا بَرحَت به الأفلاكُ تجري

على شمسينِ ما لهُما أفُولُ

على شمسينِ ما لهُما أفُولُ

And may the heavenly spheres never cease revolving for him

The spheres revolve ceaselessly around

around two suns that never set:

Two suns that will never set

معاليه المنيرةُ في ذُرَاهَا

معاليه المنيرةُ في ذُرَاهَا

وفي الأقطار نائِلُهُ الجزيل

وفي الأقطار نائِلُهُ الجزيل

his lofty virtues, radiant in their heights,

His shining heights tower to the skies

and his abundant bounty throughout the lands.

And far lands gain his generous bounty
