تَهَنَّ بِهِ فَطالِعُهُ سَعيدُ

وَها قَد جاءَكَ العِزّ الجَديدُ

He took delight in it, so its omens are auspicious,

And here is the new glory that has come to you.

ضَمانٌ أَن أَراكَ عَلى مُرادي

عَلى الأَيّامِ وَهوَ كَما تُريدُ

It is guaranteed that I will see you as I wish,

In the days to come, and it will be just as you want.

فَيا لِلَّهِ بُستاناً أَرانا

مَغاني الشِعب أَنتَ بِهِ العَميد

By God, a garden we saw,

You are the pillar of the people's joy in it.

وَدارَ مَسَرَّةٍ وَرياضَ أُنسٍ

كَما حَلىّ لآلي العقد جيدُ

A house of delight and meadows of intimacy,

Like the fine necklaces that adorn the beautiful maidens.

تَميسُ بِهِ الغُصون كأن سَقاها

مِنَ الدولابِ مُسطارٌ شَديدُ

The branches in it are watered as if

By a pouring rain, heavy and abundant.

وَغَنّى طائِرُ الأَفراحِ فيهِ

وَرَجَّعَ فالغُصونُ لَهُ تَميدُ

And the bird of joy sings in it,

While the branches sway gently for it.

فَقُلنا سَمّشه واِمدَح بِحَقِّ

وَأرِّخ قالَ بُستانٌ سَعيد

So we said, mark it as auspicious and praise it sincerely,

And date it: “A Garden of Joy”.
