1. أُحِبُّ لوجه ابنِ سامي الصباحَ

    وأهوى لنضرته الياسمينْ

    I love the morning for the face of Sami's son,

    And adore jasmine for his freshness.

  2. زهتْ داره وهي رمزٌ لبيتٍ

    كريمِ الجدودِ عزيز البَنينْ

    His home has flourished, and it is a symbol of a house

    Noble in its forebears, honored in its sons.

  3. فيا حسنَهُ دارجاُ في فناها

    ويا عزَّها يوم يطوي السنينْ

    And how lovely he is, toddling in its courtyard!

    And how glorious it will be when he folds up the years!

  4. لها الله فلْيَحْيَ أرّخ لها

    أمين عزيزاً بظلّ الأمينْ

    May God protect it! Let him live—record its date—

    Amin, honored beneath al-Amin's shade.
