هَنَّيْتُ مولانا المشيرَ بابْنِه

لما تبدَّى بالجمال الفائقِ

I congratulate our respected Master on his son,

When he appeared with exceptional beauty,

ولاحَ للخير به أدلّةٌ

يكشف باديها عن الحقائق

And goodness became evident through him,

Revealing the truths plainly.

منها وُرودُ نِعمة من مَلِكٍ

أعزَّه الله لعزِّ الصادق

Among them the blossoming of a blessing from a King,

Whom God has honored for the honor of the Sincere One.

فكان في ميلاده مَسَرَّةً

لسابق من الهنا ولاحق

So his birth was a joy,

For the foremost from the past and the future.

مبارك الطلعة ميمون بها

ذو بهجة راقتِ لعين الرامق

Blessed is his star, auspicious through him,

With radiant delight to the eye of the onlooker.

أبْدَعَ في تصويره خالقه

سُبحان مَن صوَّرَه من خالق

His Creator has perfectly formed him,

Glory to Him who shaped him, the Creator.

حاز من البدر المنير طلعة

ومن أبيه أكْرَمَ الخلائق

He attained from the radiant moon a rising,

And from his father the most generous of mankind.

شبلُ هزبرٍ باسلٍ غضنفر

أعيذُه من سوءِ كلّ طارق

A lion cub, valiant, fierce,

I seek refuge for him from the evil of every assailant.

ينشأ في حجر المعالي والعلى

على ظهور الضُمَّر السوابق

He is raised in the bosom of the lofty and sublime,

Atop the shoulders of accomplished nobles.

كم قائلٍ مُؤَرِّخٌ مولدُه

قَرَّت بَعبد الله عينُ النامق

How many a chronicler has recorded his birth,

Bringing joy to the eye of the sleeping one.
