1. عَبدُ المَجيدِ بَكيرٌ مَن لَهُ شَهِدَت

    ذَوو البَلاغَةِ وَالإِنشاءَ وَالفَصحا

    Abd al-Majid Bakir, for whom have borne witness

    Masters of eloquence and composition, and eloquent speakers.

  2. وَجانِسِ النَثرَ مِنهُ النَظمَ مُنتَسِقا

    وَآنَسَ الظَرفَ مِنهُ الحُسنُ فَاِنشَرَحا

    And his well-ordered verse matched his prose,

    And beauty perceived his grace and rejoiced.

  3. حَباهُ رَبّي بِمَولودٍ لِيَصحَبَهُ

    بِاليُمنِ وَالسَعدِ ما أَمسى وَما اِصطَبَحا

    My Lord blessed him with a newborn to keep him company,

    With blessing and good fortune, each evening and at his morning draught.

  4. مُحَمَّدُ الاِسمِ مَن مَجَّدَ لَهُ لَقَبٌ

    بِالحَمدِ وَالمَجدِ مِن مَولاهُ ما بَرَحا

    Muhammad by name, with a byname that glorifies him,

    With praise and glory from his Lord, unceasingly.

  5. وَقَبَّلَهُ زَينَبَ جاءَت مُبارَكَةً

    تَؤُمُّ في عُمرِها الإِقبالُ وَالفَرَحا

    And Zaynab kissed him; she had come blessed,

    Seeking prosperity and joy throughout her life.

  6. وَقَد بَدا نورُهُ تَلقا شَقيقَتَهُ

    فَكانَ بَدراً وَكانَت تِلكَ شَمسُ ضُحى

    And his light appeared, facing his sister:

    So he was a full moon, and she a sun at midmorning.

  7. وَطالَعَ السَعدَ قَد وافى يُؤَرِّخُهُ

    الإِنسُ طافَ بِمَجدي وَالصَفا وَضحا

    And he beheld good fortune, which had come to record his birth:

    “Humankind circled Majdi, and serenity shone forth.”
