1. تَوَلَّتِ الأَعيادُ لا زِلتَ لَها

    تُبلي دَبابيجَ البَقاءِ وتُجِدْ

    The festivals have passed; may you ever remain for them,

    wearing out the brocades of long life and renewing them.

  2. الفِطْرُ وَالمِيلادُ وَالمولودُ لَو

    قابَلَهُ بَدرُ التَّمامِ لَسَجَدْ

    Eid al-Fitr, the birthday feast, and the newborn—if

    the moon in its fullness faced him, it would surely prostrate itself.

  3. ثَلاثةٌ تُعْرِبُ عَن ثَلاثَةٍ

    لِمِثلِها يذكرُ حَمداً مَن حَمَدْ

    Three that speak of three,

    for whose like the grateful utter praise:

  4. فَتحٌ مُبينٌ وَطلابٌ مُدْرَكٌ

    وَدَولَةٌ ما تَنتَهي إِلى أَمَدْ

    a manifest victory, a goal attained,

    and a reign that never comes to an end.
