وَالفرع كَالأَصل في مَجد فَلا عَجب

وَالفرع كَالأَصل في مَجد فَلا عَجب

إِن أَصبح الغُصن مِنهُ مُؤرقا رشدا

إِن أَصبح الغُصن مِنهُ مُؤرقا رشدا

And the branch resembles the root in glory; no wonder

And the branch is like the origin in glory, no wonder

If its bough has put forth leaves of wisdom.

That it became a flourishing, rightly guided branch.

فَشهر مِيلاده بِالفَضل مُشتَهر

لِأَنَّهُ رَمَضان لِلأَنام هُدى

لِأَنَّهُ رَمَضان لِلأَنام هُدى

For his birth-month is renowned for its virtue,

For his birth month is glorious in merit,

Because it is Ramadan, guidance for humankind.

As it is Ramadan, guidance for all people.

وَيَوم الإِثنين بدء الشَهر مَولده

وَيَوم الإِثنين بدء الشَهر مَولده

وَذاكَ فال سَعيد قَط ما عَهدا

وَذاكَ فال سَعيد قَط ما عَهدا

فَليهنأ الشَرف الأَعلى بِطَلعته

وَاللَه يُعطي كَمال الوالد الوَلَدا

وَاللَه يُعطي كَمال الوالد الوَلَدا

So let the highest honor rejoice at his appearance.

So let the highest honor rejoice at his rising,

And may God grant the son his father's perfection.

And may God grant the father and son perfection.

وَلا رَعى اللَه نَفساً لا تَسربه

وَلا رَعى اللَه نَفساً لا تَسربه

وَلا وَقاها وَغَشاها رِداء رَدى

وَلا وَقاها وَغَشاها رِداء رَدى

And may God not care for a soul that does not rejoice in him,

May God protect the soul that is gladdened by him,

Nor protect it; and may He clothe it in a cloak of death.

And clothe it in the garment of His protection.

وَيا فَهيم لَكَ العَليا مهنئة

وَيا فَهيم لَكَ العَليا مهنئة

بِخَير نَجل سَيحيا في العُلا أَبَدا

بِخَير نَجل سَيحيا في العُلا أَبَدا

وَأَنس بِنَجل لَهُ العَليا مُؤرخة

لِلّه دُر عَلى خَير مَن وَلَدا

لِلّه دُر عَلى خَير مَن وَلَدا
