1. عِيدٌ حَسِيبٍ عِيدٌ حَبِيبٌ

    إِلَيَّ مِنْ مَبْدَأِ الطُّفُولَهْ

    Hasib's celebration is a celebration dear

    to me since the beginning of childhood.

  2. فَتَى مَعَالٍ مِنْ خَيْرِ آلِ

    والفَرْعُ قَدْ يَقْتَفِي أَصُولًهْ

    A youth of lofty virtues, from the finest family;

    and the branch may well follow its roots.

  3. نَابِغَةٌ مُدْرِكٌ مُنَاهُ

    بِالحَزْمِ وَالْعَزْمِ وَالرُّجُولَهْ

    A genius who attains his aspirations

    through prudence, resolve, and manliness.

  4. مَتَى يُعَالِجْ أَمْراً يُؤَيَّدْ

    فِيهِ بِرُوحٍ مِنَ الْبُطُولَهْ

    Whenever he undertakes a task, he is sustained

    in it by a spirit of heroism.

  5. لَهْ وَفَاءٌ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ النَّا

    سُ فِي أَمَاجِيدِهِمْ عَدِيلَهْ

    His loyalty is such that people have never known

    its equal among their illustrious men.

  6. فَضِيلَةُ البِرِّ قَدْ تَجَلَّتْ

    فِيهِ وَأَعْظِمْ بِهَا فَضِيلَهْ

    The virtue of benevolence has shone forth

    in him—and how great a virtue it is!

  7. تَاللهِ إِنِّي مَا طَالَ عُمرِي

    لَسْتُ بِنَاسٍ يَوماً جمِيلَهْ

    By God, as long as my life endures,

    I shall never forget his kindness.

  8. عَلَّمَنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ شِعْراً

    إِذْ لَسْتُ أَسطِيعُ أَنْ أَقُولَهْ

    He taught me to compose verse

    when I could not compose it.

  9. فَوُدُّهُ فِي الْفُؤَادِ بَاقٍ

    لا يَمْلِكُ الدَّهْرُ أَنْ يُزِيلَهْ

    So love for him endures within my heart;

    time has no power to erase it.

  10. شَارَكْتُ صِنْواً لَهُ كَريماً

    ضَاعَفَ وُدِّي تَجِلَّتِي لَهْ

    I joined a noble brother of his;

    my affection doubled my reverence for him.

  11. فَلْيَحْيَ فِي غِبْطَةٍ حَسِيبٌ

    وَلْيسْعِدِ الأَهْلُ وَالْقَبِيلَهْ

    So may Hasib live in joy,

    and may his family and tribe rejoice.
