1. يا حُسن يومٍ إليهِ النَّاسُ قد جُمِعَتْ

    كأنَّ صوتَ المنادي نَفخةُ الصُّورِ

    How lovely a day, to which the people have been gathered!

    As though the herald’s voice were the blast of the Trumpet.

  2. قامَ الخِتانُ بهِ في جنَّةٍ حَفَلتْ

    مِنَ المَلائكِ والوِلدانِ والحُورِ

    On it the circumcision was held in a garden thronged

    With angels, young boys, and houris.

  3. نجلُ السَّعيدِ الذي دونَ الحجابِ أتى

    موسَى يكلِّمِهُ مِن جانبِ الطُّورِ

    The son of al-Saʿīd, to whom, before the veil, came

    Moses, speaking to him from the side of the Mount.

  4. ضجَّت بتَطهيرِهِ الدُّنيا مُؤرِّخةً

    أبهَى طَهورٍ أتى نُوراً على نُورِ

    The world resounded at his purification, proclaiming its chronogram:

    “The fairest purification has come as light upon light.”
