1. You celebrated your fifty-fifth birthday
With every blessing but money and youth

2. So live for the likes of it, it is enough wealth
We say in our words, may your golden jubilee be blessed

3. How joyful is the feast, O Sarkis, associated
With the joy of the most generous family and friends

4. And how excellent is the feast of this day characterized
As being in you the feast of refinement and literary grace
