1. وافاكَ ابراهيمُ نَجلٌ قَد صَفا

    مَعَهُ السُرورُ فَطابَ مَوردُ ريِّهِ

    A pure son has come to you, Ibrahim.

    With him comes joy, and sweet grows the spring that quenches his thirst.

  2. سرَّت بَنِي الجمَّالِ طَلعةُ وَجهِهِ

    وَاعادَ ميخائيلَ بَعدَ مضِيِّهِ

    The sight of his face gladdened the sons of al-Jammal.

    And he brought Mikhail back after his passing.

  3. فَأَتاكَ باِسمِ زَعيمِ جُندِ اللَهِ في

    فَردوسِهِ وَأَتيتَ باِسمِ صَفِيِّهِ

    So he came to you bearing the name of the leader of God's host in

    His Paradise, while you came bearing the name of His chosen one.

  4. دُم أَرِّخو جَذَلاً بِكَوكَبِ سَعدهِ

    وَيَعيشُ مَحروساً بِسَيفِ سَميِّهِ

    Remain—record the date—gladdened by the star of his good fortune.

    And may he live, guarded by his namesake's sword.
