لِيَهْنِك يا نحير أهلِ زمانِهِ

ويا كاملاً عنه غدا الطرف قاصرا

May he outshine the eminent men of his time,

And surpass the perfect ones who came before.

يا منبعاً للجود والفضل والندى

ومن لم يزل بحراً من العلم زاخرا

O spring of generosity, grace, and dew,

An ocean of knowledge that flows and pours.

ويا من يحلّ المشكلات بذهنه

وأفكاره رأياً تحير البصائرا

With his mind he solves the most complex affairs,

His thoughts astonish all seers with their flare.

بطفل زكيّ قد أتاك وإنّما

يضاهيك بالأخلاق سرًّا وظاهرا

A bright child has come to you, and though

In morals secretly and openly he compares.

وبشرتني فيه فقلت مؤرخاً

بمولد عبد الله نلت البشايرا

You brought me good news of him, and so

I record Abdullah's birth, glad tidings I share.
