1. هنيئاً بهاء الدين للمجدِ والعُلى

    بقاؤكَ ما جَلَّى الظَّلام سنى الفجر

    A blessing to glory and eminence, Baha al-Din,

    is your enduring life, as long as dawn's radiance dispels the dark.

  2. وما زلْت فرَّاعاً لكُلِّ مُنيفَةٍ

    من المجد موفورَ المناقب والقَدْرِ

    And you have never ceased scaling every lofty height

    of glory, rich in noble qualities and esteem,

  3. صياماً وفِطْراً حيث نُعماكَ جَمَّةٌ

    وتقواك في صوم الزمان وفي الفِطْر

    in fasting and in breaking the fast, for your bounty is abundant,

    and your piety abides in time's fasting and its breaking of the fast.

  4. وأنت أبو الفضل المُشارُ لفضْلِهِ

    وإِفضاله في سورة الجهد والفَقْر

    And you are Abu al-Fadl, renowned for his excellence

    and his generosity amid the fury of hardship and poverty.

  5. تقولُ بَليغاً والبليغُ مُجَمْجِمٌ

    وتمْطر سَحّاً والسَّماءُ بِلا قطْرِ

    You speak eloquently while the eloquent speaker falters,

    and you rain in torrents while the sky yields not a drop.

  6. وترعى فروض العهد والنِّكس غادرٌ

    خَؤونٌ ولم يبق الثَّناءُ مع الغَدْرِ

    And you uphold the covenant's duties, while the base man is treacherous,

    ever faithless—and praise does not endure alongside treachery.

  7. فدُمْ فائضَ الإحسان جوداً ونجْدةً

    وشيك القرى حامي الحمى عاجل النصر

    So remain overflowing with beneficence, in generosity and valor,

    swift in hospitality, defender of the domain, quick to give aid.
