1. I smile at dawn and at the start of Eid
Mother of the glorious state and radiance of mankind

2. Nights and days alike in their splendor
The musk and camphor in color and diffusion

3. My scent is springtime, my sweets are springtime's
Like the warbling of a pure maiden emerging from her boudoir

4. With her the ages donned beauty and were adorned
And from her the page of sun and moon drew radiance

5. So welcome as the showers of Muzna have descended
And welcome as the veil splits from the blossom

6. Behold the cub of valor visited its lair
So the people's resolve against it weakened into wailing

7. The torrent of dew poured forth its abundance
And the torrents never ceased to pour into the sea

8. It shone crescent-like and the Saudis magnify it
With the aura of the full moon in semblance of blossom

9. And it alighted loftily, the ride of its stately nose
Upon the mountain firm in pride, not in rock

10. And it came as its breeze revived the gardens
In a capacious canopy and capacious pot

11. You see luck, success and prosperity around it
Accompanying it in procession with chanting

12. And the clouds sent down their rains in service
To it, surrounding the brilliant armor with rainfall

13. Yet the noonday sun with its ferocity
Could not touch it under the shade of the standards of victory

14. Radiant, splendid is its face and its place
In the palace - from its banners as on the prayer mat

15. Good tidings spread on the day of its arrival
To the noble court in desert and in town

16. With it, a throne and pulpit became adorned
Like the saddlebags of the blond foal and the sorrel camel

17. And it accorded with the hopes and their wisdom
The meeting of dew and rose in the tender time

18. Pure Zakariyya in his blessed origins
Clarified his excellent traits, sprouting in purity

19. And he was granted wisdom and insight from his forefathers
As a child, so he became the elder in the prime of youth

20. And many a little one in his years has aged
Exalted to the exalted, great beyond great

21. The namesake of his father, blessed in name and epithet
For the grandson from marking them both with nobility

22. And it flows into souls their fervor
As the souls' flowing at first light

23. Aspirations whose praise transcends telling it
Even were the verses composed for it instead of prose

24. When gathered in the king's company or loved
Then say, in the Syrian mountains and the green sea

25. For its chest from the House of Leadership is its rank
And for that House the rank of the chest is its right

26. It is enamored with the sublime, absent and present
So from news that consoles time, and from great news

27. And it attained glory and fortune on kingdoms
Thus it poured on the celestial spheres the garments of pride

28. It is preoccupied with preparing equipment for its sacrifice
And it desires the aid of war for the virgin raid

29. And it accepts no honor and fuel for its fire
Other than Indian steel and fragrant algum wood

30. Indeed Tunis basked in the light of its guidance
As the white camels bask in the fire of kindled campfires

31. I say, and delegations have crowded its domes
Embroidered above the columns and stucco

32. Upon your envoys - indeed the planets are but some of what
Your steeds will trample, unto the splendid planet

33. Good fortune for the command of God that its arm was strengthened
By the House of Abu Hafs, most sublime in prohibition and command

34. And that Yahya the Righteous and his scion rose up
For its manifestation during the decisive confrontation

35. A beloved prince through it a prince in his kingdom
Who attained vengeance for the religion against rebellion and unbelief

36. And delegated him the Imami covenant, pleased
With his beautiful conduct and youthful undertakings

37. So he girded the swordblade of immaculate lineage from it
Upon the shoulders of a graceful and accomplished archer

38. And this is none but an Umarite state
In which good fortune endures, of lasting life

39. You see its tomorrow rising to it and its yesterday
Keeping eyes fixed on it, repeatedly, again and again

40. It fulfilled its vow to the world by securing its people
Loyally, and they were loyal to religion through their vow

41. They defended it as the hissing serpent defends its nest
And their swords are sharper than fang and claw

42. And the world was not apt to turn away from them
As they are the party of piety and the faction of righteousness

43. An equitable nation who were most just when they lifted
From the people what had burdened necks with shackles

44. Their faces illuminate the nights' lamps
Thus we are amidst the month, for all time

45. And they fulfilled what exhausted the Imams before them
And exhausted the staunch poets before me and prose

46. They are God's party; in them is no doubt
And if you are uncertain, ask the decisive Scripture

47. Scion of guidance, glory, and generosity - take them
Steeped in praise, laud, and thanks

48. Gifts from these verses, I hope for acceptance
As they come forth resplendent in the ink of the pen

49. Except that the dearest praise under you is inadequate
Even if the eloquence of meaning were confined to sorcery
