1. لَقَد وافاكَ ميخائيلُ نَجلٌ

    يُحاكي طَلعةَ الصُبحِ البَهِيِّ

    A son has indeed come to you, Mikhail,

    Who resembles the face of radiant dawn.

  2. بِهِ راقَ الصَفاءُ لَدَيك لَمّا

    أَعادَ لَكَ اِسمهُ عَهدُ السَمِيِّ

    Through him, serenity grew sweeter for you when

    His namesake's memory restored his name to you.

  3. فَطِب وَليَحى ابراهيمُ دَهراً

    لَديك بِحفظِ مَولاهُ العليِّ

    So rejoice, and may Ibrahim live for long years

    By your side, protected by his Lord, the Most High.

  4. يَعيشُ مُؤرِّخاً نَجلاً سَعيداً

    وَتَهنأُ مِنهُ بِالثَمرِ الشَهيِّ

    May he live—as I mark the date—a happy son,

    And may you delight in the delectable fruit he yields.
