1. The auspicious stars of Sa'd have risen
And glory appears, its congratulations becoming companions

2. And the glory of success continues to make him fortunate
Remaining helpful for us in all that we observe of him

3. And the rain of joy with him pours down
Upon the gardens nurturing our hopes from his clouds

4. And the promise of safety fulfilled for us
To what hopes do we aspire that watch him

5. And a covenant for us kept alive
Quenching us from joys that he drinks

6. And a life of purity in which for us there was an age of purity
And its meanings softened and its drinks became delicious

7. And good tidings with which the choice tidings came
So excellent is what its carriers brought

8. And intimacy through which I was consoled for what I attained
From fate until fate sought pardon from its blamer

9. And grace from The Merciful which the sum of glories attained
And his ways and goals prospered

10. So thanks to You, O God, for in thanking Him
His blessings and gifts to us endure

11. For the ranks of elevation which He conferred
Upon the one through whom glory ascends the ranks of glory

12. He is the pearl which, when called by the name Muhammad
Adorned itself with the beauty of necklaces

13. He is the son of the trustee of glory, whose position
Ascended above the positions of the shining stars

14. So O joy of days, climb the stair of elevation
You will find all pride beneath what you climb

15. And race ahead in the trail of glory in every goal
None pridefully raced ahead but his horses

16. And unsheathe the sword of resolve, may its west not weaken
Nor the length of time enfeeble its blades

17. And deter all shameless rebel
And restrain him with the forbearance you possess

18. For I see the falcon taking him as prey
If his claws do not grasp his abdomen

19. When a man does not employ wisdom, his efforts fall short
Of attaining what he seeks

20. I see forbearance as the mark of felicity for a youth
If a youth employs forbearance, his side is strengthened

21. I see the suitor of the aloof, gathering firewood by night
When the lamp is gone, the night gathers him

22. And he who prides in piety, seeking elevation
Its zeal and determination submit to him

23. My life for you, no wonder upon you for what
With which you came, even if its wonders appeared to you

24. For from your boundless sea, you collected pearls
And here I present the best that I attained

25. Your abundant knowledge suffices as a favor
And that your forbearance prevails over the soul's transgression

26. The nobility of thought whose arrows do not miss
So no purpose but your arrow hits it

27. And good rhetoric whose train is so long
While you ride the Suhayl of Wāʾil's rising star

28. I see the nobility of character a natural disposition
For your father the accomplished, they are his ways

29. If the cub does not protect the sanctuary of the lion
The forest beasts will soon overpower him

30. Take up the sword of resolve, like your father whose
Resolve the ages do not battle

31. Don the armor of courage, and mount the steed of glory
So its consequences for every matter appeared to him

32. A young man whom the wakefulness of wisdom and prohibition nurtured
And the vicissitudes of time made him experienced

33. He contained ambitions whose star the Suhayl falls short of
When the Suhayl is glorified by people's hopes

34. And an opinion that sees what the eyes of creation do not see
And reveals the essence of puzzles, penetrating

35. Noble, if you seek what he possesses
Except glory, then know that he is its granter

36. When a hopeful arrives at the abode of his grace
His hospitality and shelters welcome him

37. And he meets newcomers as though
His loved ones of old have come to him

38. To him belongs the highest glory that strips
And the thanks that I seize belong to him

39. If I do not unleash my tongue in thanks
For blessings that crawled to me slowly

40. A young man whose truthfulness in praise adorns
While other's praise inherits falsehood's disgrace

41. To him belongs the highest commendation over all superior
And no pride befits him, for pride does not suit him

42. The kings of Qahtan's descendants were his ancestors
And the masters of the people of Tanukh his relatives

43. They are the origin, except that he is a branch of the lotus tree
Whose merits ennobled it

44. A prince through whom the flags of Lebanon were ennobled
So the flags of Chosroes' positions paled in comparison

45. To him God is a protector of truth, his side strengthened
And reliant on God, his stance became strong

46. He attends to his subjects with justice, so they graze
With the lion in tranquility, its cubs and pups

47. So O people of Lebanon, rejoice in honor
The era of disgrace has passed and its disadvantages left

48. God erased from you the darkness of injustice after
The pitfalls of tyranny upon you prolonged

49. And the stars of good fortune rose from the tower of happiness
Dispelling with it the night of suffering and its darkness

50. They are the House of Raselan - eminent are they
And with them the shoulder of lasting glory reached its peak

51. And the trustee of favor is the lantern of its guidance
Amidst the darkness of dire calamities that does not converse with it

52. His merit ascended beyond sight
So who can equal or draw close to him?

53. Its legions in resolution are books of wisdom
And books of wisdom, what are they but his legions?

54. The noble cub Muhammad followed his example
And attained, praise God, what he sought

55. Ranks of honor did not fulfill his rightful merit
When his obligation became serious

56. He loved others for what he loved in himself
And through its opposite, elevation and ranks are distinguished

57. If the ranks do not contain the people fit for it
Then no good in what strangers filled it

58. Wake, how long will you remain in the heedlessness of creation
And the night of joy openly challenges its riders

59. Awaken and you will see the world happy with Muhammad's glory
Its wonders appearing to all people

60. As though the Duja and the dawn are two armies mobilized
The tools of each and their forces

61. As though the prince of night, when he saw the commotion
About the horror of what transpired, his veins shook

62. As though the crescent of the horizon is a bare sword
Or the night a black-robed servant, its eyebrow frowning

63. As though the stars are a necklace of pearls scattered
So its leader shone and the pearls' owner gloated

64. As though they are flowers blooming in the gardens
Or the barren land, for the wanderers, fireflies appeared

65. As though their Plough is loved that showed for us
And the cupbearer roams about pouring in the goblet

66. As though we see a temple amidst the darkness of night
Beckoning to us with its lanterns, its monk

67. As though the sun when the dinar appeared from its palm
For it is its eyebrow when it shows from its palm

68. As though Suhail is a lover who was reminded
Of the melodies of the sanctuary of his loved ones and playgrounds

69. As though we see the river of the Milky Way a watering place
For which the lovely heavenly bodies quenched their thirst

70. I see the whale moving away from the sea of the Milky Way
How astonishing, life accompanies it!

71. I see the Scorpion, feared in the west, tilting
Crawling with the gait of an old man, his troubles multiplied

72. As though the light of dawn is veiled love
As though the darkness of night a spy watching it

73. As though the horn of the gazelle, when it appeared
I reckoned it to be the waves of mirage undulating

74. My friend, the cup of life is pure yet
Without joy, its drinker cannot savor it

75. Come, raise the flags of every delight
For the one whose gifts spread through the horizons

76. And with the highest rank, I repeat congratulations
Its welcoming is the return of his gifts

77. May good fortune with his happiness continue to grow
And the shield of joy and robes envelop him

78. And may favor continue coming
To his lofty court, its winds blow

79. And may he continue to herald tidings of his eminence
The abode of joy furnished for him, its carpets spread

80. As long as the scent of his praise which diffused remains
A perfume for the breeze of the meadow given as gift

81. As long as the poet of glory shook the standard
Proclaiming congratulations, the writer of his glory

82. And the joys cheered in the arena of joy
It sang, and the birds of hearts answered it

83. They chant, say O for Muhammad
The auspicious stars of Sa'd have illuminated their processions
