1. The feast has come, congratulations to the like of it
And its prosperity was known in Yemen
١. دنا العيد هنيت أمثاله
وعرفت باليمن إقباله
2. And what the wishes put forward still
Drags its trains to your door
٢. ولازال ما اقترحته المنى
يجر ببابك أذياله
3. To the pride of the state of the religion of guidance
I sent from poetry flowing to it
٣. إلى فخر دولة دين الهدى
بعثت من الشعر جريا له
4. A young man who adorned his uncles' office
And beautified his conditions with virtue
٤. فتى زان منصب أعمامه
وجمل بالفضل أحواله
5. Joy, and in its folding a need
That makes you say to it the state of a brother
٥. هناء وفي طيه حاجة
يبثك فيه أخ حاله
6. Belittled in worth compared to what
Is called to it and prayed for
٦. محقرة القدر في جنب ما
ينادى إليه ويدعى له
7. I directed you to it confident
And your favor acknowledges its guide
٧. أدل عليك بها واثقاً
وفضلك يشكر إدلاله
8. And if the rain was withheld I would not water it
With my asking and it would not taste its channels

سوالي ولا ذاق سلساله

If he makes his money forbidden

May Allah lighten his loads

فلا خفف الله أثقاله
11. May you ransom its generosity, O sea
That measures your floods with its trains
١١. فداك على جوده باخل
يقيس بوبلك أسباله
12. It blossoms in my comfort, pouring it
So it is more deserving, then more deserving of it
١٢. تبهرج في راحتي سبكه
فأولى له ثم أولى له
13. I sent to it from the protected words
A messenger I tasked with its delivery
١٣. بعثت له من مصون الكلام
رسولاً تكلفت غرساله
14. Words that honor who is said about
Even if who said it is lacking
١٤. كلام يشرف من قيل فيه
وإن كان ينقص من قاله
15. Words that make proud but I
Honor it with your name
١٥. كلام يجل ولكنني
أوفيه باسمك إجلاله
16. So the messenger returned and on his garment
Rust that dirties his robe
١٦. فعاد الرسول وفي ثوبه
صديد يدنس سرباله
17. And you are the one whose brilliance of face
Is proportionate to the whole of it
١٧. وأنت الذي في سنا وجهه
جمال تناسب إجماله
18. If the lock of generosity becomes difficult
Your side opens its locks
١٨. إذا ما تعسر قفل السماح
فجاهك يفتح إقفاله
