أبا جميلٍ قُرَّ عيناً بمَنْ

بَلَّغَك الله به ما تريدْ

O father of a glorious son, rejoice

For Allah has granted you what you wished for

وزادك الله سروراً به

زيادةً ما برحت في مزيد

And may Allah increase your joy for him

An increase that does not cease to grow

بالولد الماجد من ماجد

لا يَلِدُ الماجدُ إلاَّ مجيد

With this accomplished son of an accomplished one

For the accomplished begets none but the accomplished

يا حبَّذا الوالد من والدٍ

وحبَّذا طلعة هذا الوليد

How excellent is the father of this father

And how excellent is the advent of this newborn

لاحت مزاياك على وجهه

كالبدر في طالع برج سعيد

Your virtues shine on his face

Like the full moon rising in a blessed mansion

أَلَمْ تكنْ ربَّ الجميل الَّذي

مل ترك الأَحرار إلاَّ عبيد

Were you not the Lord of the beautiful one who

Filled the free with nothing but devotion?

وأَنْتَ في النَّاس لمَنْ يقتفي

قافية المجد وبيت القصيد

And you are to the people whoever yearns

For the rhyme of glory and the poem's creation

وكلّ من آوى إلى فضله

آوى إلى ظلٍّ وركنٍ شديد

And all who seek refuge in his grace

Seek shelter in shade and sturdy pillar

فليهنك المولود كلّ الهنا

بخالد الذّكر الَّذي لا يبيد

So let this birth bring you utmost joy

With eternal glory that will never fade

كلَيْلَةِ الأَعياد ميلاده

وأَنْتَ منه كلّ يومٍ بعيد

On the nights of his birth celebrations

While you remain far from him each day

لمَّا بدا للعين أَرَّخْته

أَشرقتِ الدُّنيا بعبد الحميد

When he appeared before my eyes I dated him

The world shone with the servant of the Praised
