1. The hands of congratulations opened their shells,
Or did a star of virtue shine from our horizon and spread its canopy,

2. Or did a crescent moon begin in a lofty sky,
Its mansions have become filled with good fortune?

3. How auspicious is this time that fulfills its promise,
And how righteous the hand that picked its fruits.

4. The pillars of glory, may God make its foundations firm,
Successively, so He may see in His time one to follow Him.

5. This is the joy whose tidings blew,
So the clouds of illusions dispersed and lifted.

6. The Protector looked after a house of guidance that was raised,
Its glory never lacked a towering pillar.

7. God knows best where to place virtue,
And where to keep talents harmonized within it.

8. A trait of the house of glory, from the family of Birm Al As,
A foundation of religion, then its rooms were supported.

9. It repelled the vain hopes of those who despaired of it,
And ignited within the heart of its detractor a burning passion.

10. You were singled out in every honor,
With a son through whom you compete in rank and description.

11. The insight of the perceptive shows from its sources
The certainty of the eminent in his successors.

12. Rather, it has never ceased to be the custom of the Master for your likes,
That the Law takes its water from Him through the ages.

13. Guidance refuses to see any abode but yours,
As its refuge, and its Lord established it upon you.

14. The heights of the heavens are lower than your achievements,
To the hand that picked the fruits of nobility.

15. The crescent that came to you will indeed be seen,
As a full moon, and your sun cloaked in light.

16. Extending with the perfection of its nature and years,
Until its juristic rulings intertwine.

17. Its joy appeared in the garden of your eminence,
As the first fruits of congratulations to be renewed.

18. Congratulations on his birth that led to his happiness,
His wedding, and to grandchildren who protected their bosom friend.

19. Yes, and below you a house which I cast
As an arrow that hits the target of your detractor.

20. This, with its two halves, and the missing letter and neglect,
recording the date, compelling the haughty to lower his nose.

21. So may God grant the luster of accomplished youth,
A son who protects his father, and inherits those before him.
