بشراك يا مفضال يا ذا الرفعةَ

يا شهم يا معطاء يا ذا الهمَّةِ

Congratulations, O exalted one, O noble one,

O valiant one, O generous one, O man of resolve,

يا من سما أقرانه فغدا على

دست الإمارة ضيغماً ذا لبدة

O you who excelled your peers, thus reaching

The seat of rule, a precious pearl, finely crafted,

أفردت بالنصر العميم وربّها

خصَّ المؤيَّدَ وهو عين النُصرةِ

You were singled out with complete victory, and its Lord

Favored the Supported One, who is the essence of triumph,

ومُنحت من رب العباد بمنحة

مقبولة أكرم بها من منحةِ

And you were granted from the Lord of beings a gift

Welcomed, with which the Giver honored more than any gift,

بمجيء مولود به زال العنا

عنّا فمنه عصرُنا بمسرَّةِ

With the coming of a newborn, through whom sorrow

Was removed from us - so our era rejoices with delight -

قد جاء في أحَدَ ليؤذنَ أنّه

أحَدٌ بكل فضيلة ومديحة

He came on the First to herald that he

Is the One, with every merit and praise,

تاهت به بغداد إذ صارت به

جنّاتِ عدنِ بالمكارم خُفَّتِ

Baghdad wandered astray, for it became, through him,

The gardens of Eden, with kindness made calm,

أمِنَت بمولده نكاية غادرِ

قذر العقيدة نجسها ذي نكبة

It was secured, by his birth, from the treachery of

The filthy, impure creed of the one of ill fortune,

لا غرو في ذا إذا إلى المَلِك انتمى

تاج الملوك فيالها من نسبةِ

No surprise, for he belongs to the King -

The crown of kings - what a lineage!

يا شهر مولده حَوَيتَ فضيلة

كل الشهور لما حويتَ تمنَّتِ

O month of his birth, you contained virtue

Of all months, for you contained the wished-for,

وجمعت في ذا الشأن عزّاً مفرداً

بشراك في التاريخ يا ذا الحِجَّةِ

And you gathered, in this matter, unmatched glory,

Congratulations, in history, O proof!
