1. بِغايات الصَفا وَالانس غَنى

    مَغنى عيده للحظ صالح

    With the utmost serenity and fellowship sang

    the abode of his feast, favored by fortune,

  2. لمولد مَن لَهُ رقصت حُظوظ

    لَها شيَخ التَصابي اليَوم رابح

    for the birth of one for whom fortunes danced;

    thanks to them, the elder of youthful dalliance is a winner today.

  3. وَقام لَهُ الزَمان وَقال أَرخ

    لَقَد جاءَ الهَنا في وَضع صالح

    And Time rose for him and said, 'Record the date:'

    'Joy has indeed come with the birth of Salih.'
