1. الملك أصبح علينا

    هاذ هو صباح الأفراح

    The king has dawned upon us.

    This is the morning of joys.

  2. وبالتحيا قد بدينا

    ونسيم الصبح قد فاح

    And with greetings we have begun.

    And dawn's breeze has wafted its fragrance.

  3. من يرّي طلعة غدوا

    إش يريد الشمس تطلع

    Whoever sees his face at daybreak—

    why would he want the sun to rise?

  4. في جمال عنه سلوا

    والبدور لحسن تخضع

    As for beauty, ask about him;

    and the full moons bow to his beauty.

  5. منذ حزن من خلوا

    السعود تجين باجمع

    Since the sorrow of those who have gone,

    all the auspicious stars come together,

  6. وتقبل عد بدينا

    وتحن الينا الأرواح

    and once more they kiss our hands,

    and spirits yearn for us.

  7. الشموس تغير لحسنوا

    ولذا تصفر عشيّا

    The suns envy his beauty,

    and so turn yellow in the evening.

  8. والصباح يخجل منّوا

    منه ظلل فالثنيا

    And dawn blushes before him;

    because of him, it is shaded in the mountain pass.

  9. والرياض ترولن عنوا

    طيب شمائل عنبريا

    And the gardens tell us of him:

    the ambergris-scented sweetness of his nature.

  10. منها تهدي إلينا

    مسكها فطيّ الأرياح

    From these they offer us

    their musk enfolded in the winds.

  11. كن غفلاً فالخبيّا

    وشعاع الشمس قد طل

    We were heedless in seclusion,

    and a ray of the sun had already appeared,

  12. والصبح لم يصف نيّا

    ورواق الليل مسبل

    and dawn was not yet clear in its intent,

    while the curtain of night hung down.

  13. فعجبنا فالقضيّا

    كل احد يقول ويسئل

    So we marveled at the matter,

    everyone speaking and asking:

  14. الملك تقول جينا

    أو أحد يمشي بمصباح

    'The king, you'd say, has come to us,

    or someone is walking with a lamp.'

  15. قلت ماه غير غرّا

    منّها تشرق الأنوار

    I said, 'It is only a radiant brow

    from which the lights shine forth.'

  16. أبرزت للكون غرّا

    من سلالة فخر الأنصار

    A radiant brow was revealed to the world,

    from the lineage of the pride of the Ansar.

  17. احرزت فالأرض شهرا

    به تشرّف الأعصار

    It won renown upon the earth,

    through which the ages are ennobled.

  18. كم فتحت من مدينا

    كن لها من سعد مفتاح

    How many cities it has conquered!

    Good fortune served as its key.

  19. هذا يوم يوم جنا

    ما لها فالفخر قسيما

    This day—the day he came to us—

    has no equal in glory.

  20. لس يجد أعظم شمنا

    من مجي ذات الكريما

    Nothing of greater worth can be found

    than the arrival of the noble one.

  21. لا ولا لا حد منا

    على شكر ذا الغنيما

    No—no, not one of us

    can give thanks enough for this bounty.

  22. ولا يوجد كابن سينا

    طب للأرواح والأشباح

    Nor can anyone like Ibn Sina be found,

    a healer of spirits and bodies.
