1. Each new year's crescent moon that comes into view
Finds you as a full moon shedding light anew

2. So congratulations to you on the year gone by
Many a year is fated to pass us quickly on by

3. O unique in your essence and your every trait
Peerless in your glory as scion of the great

4. Noble by temperament, by nature prone to grace
None but the glorious are worthy of your embrace

5. Close companion to wisdom, star of highest rank
Since your noble ancestors, lords of great renown

6. Of lofty station, root and branch preserved
Bearing seeds of greatness handed down verbatim

7. Heir to all the glory of your forebears' name
Towering over fathers and ancestors of fame

8. You're a lion cub in each virtue and trait
Perfection, grace and goodness incarnate

9. It would be no stretch if all others were to say
You alone stand peerless, beyond all array

10. If another were to gain renown by his pen
Yours would be the hand of Abdul Hamid's man

11. If by wisdom another ascends to glory's keep
Still you are most worthy of acclaim so deep

12. All glory itself draped about your neck its band
And there was none but you for it to garland

13. When the ranks of the exalted now are counted
You remain the jewel and best of ode recounted

14. By your grace our lands have risen high in station
Secured, as each rival sees their sure frustration

15. We've no merit to deserve your splendid favor
Your auspicious and joyous patronage and fervor

16. Rather you're a gift of God in His mercy unpacked
Bestowed upon we servants tired and haggard

17. Thus we servants are thankful as gifts from Divine
Bless us as the years go by in steady line

18. Hands outstretched we beseech in earnest prayer
That the King of Kings may you always bless and spare

19. Master of a state that has no parallel known
Nothing like it in this world has ever been shown

20. A state still aspiring to see its glory peak
And its happy reign always made complete

21. A state whose favor is felt by both far and near
And whose grace is received by both far and near

22. Our only plea to God is that it be blessed
With triumph, aid, and eternal success

23. That by God's guidance it ever upward climbs
And its pillars of might reach the highest highs

24. As God grants it virtues and vision most grand
And from each envious rival its status is banned

25. The Governate of Saida has gained such renown
By your grace, after an age of being cast down

26. And now above others, it stands apart this day
As the existent does from the faded away

27. From that singular, matchless, and peerless Lord
Whose essence transcends all attempts at record

28. A full moon of wisdom rose into view one fair morn
Radiant in days of joy and fortune reborn

29. The wisdom of thoughtful reflection made clear
The resolute course, dissipating all fear

30. God granted him triumph and glorious might
For He is the Giver of Gifts and the Light

31. When it was said, record the year, by God's decree
As one that was joyous, auspicious, carefree
