عيدُ المَسَرَّةِ وَهوَ شَهرُ المَولِدِ

وافاكَ فاِنهَض لِلمَكارِمِ واِسعَد

The festival of joy has come, the month of birth

It has reached you, so arise for virtues and be felicitous

يَرجوكَ ما عَوَّدتَ مِن تَعظيمِهِ

وَهوَ الآمانُ فَحَيَّهَل لِلمَولِدِ

It hopes of you what you are accustomed to glorifying it with

It is safety, so greet the birth cheerfully

بالطَلعَةِ الغَراء وَالوَجه الَّذي

يَشفي وَحَقِّك كُلِّ جَفنٍ أَرمَدِ

With the radiant complexion and the face that

Heals, by your truth, every tearful eyelid

وَيُعيدُ في الرِمَمِ البَوالي روحَها

وَيَنالُ مِنها وَردَةَ القَلبِ الصَدي

And restores life to the remnants of ruins

And attains from it the rose of the heartfelt friend

وَيُطِلُّ مِن بضعد السِرارِ بِغُرَّةٍ

إِن قابَلَت قَمَرَ الدُجُنَّةِ يَسجُدِ

And it glimpses from the brightness of mysteries with a grin

If it faces the moon of the gardens bowing down

في أَنجُمٍ مِن أسرَةٍ وَعَساكِرٍ

تَختالُ زَهواً في اللِباسِ العَسجَدي

Amidst stars of families and armies

Strutting proudly in the prestigious attire

وافى قُلوبَ أُولي بِلادٍ ما لَهُم

أَمَلٌ سِوى أَن لا تَضامَ وَتَخلُدِ

It reached the hearts of the people of countries who have

No hope but that it lasts and is eternal

يَفدونَ نَعلَكَ بِالنُفوسِ وَيَجعَلوا

آثارَها كُحلاً مَكانَ الإِثمِدِ

They sacrifice their souls for your sandal

And make its tracks kohl instead of kohl

لِمَ لا وَقَد حامَيتَ دونَ حِماهُمُ

في الأَمسِ وَاليَومِ المُشاهَدِ وَالغَدِ

Why not when you have protected their sanctuary

Yesterday, today, the witnessed and tomorrow

وَتَعِبتَ في رَدِّ المَخاوِفِ دونَهُم

بِعَزيمَةٍ غَرّاءَ ذاتِ تَوَقّدِ

And you have labored in dispelling fears from them

With a resolute will, brightly kindled

وَبَنَيتَ سوراً مِن جُنودِكَ مانِعاً

لَهُمُ مِنَ الهَولِ الَّذي لَم يُعهَد

And built a fence of your soldiers, preventing

From them the terror that was not familiar

لِبِلادِكَ المَثَلُ الأَغَرّ فَلا تُرَع

وارمِ الظُنونةَ عَلى وُجوهِ الحُسَّدِ

Your exemplar country so do not be timid

And toss the suspicions upon the faces of the envious

لَهُمُ الأَمانُ عَلى الزَمانَ فَمَنِّهِم

وابذُل وَطَوّق لِلزَمانِ وَقَلِّدِ

They have safety throughout time so gratify them

And give and adorn time and empower

واخلِص دُعاءَكَ لِلجَميع فَإِنَّهُ

ترياقُ ما يَجِدونَهُ مِن مُنكِدِ

And devote your prayer for all for it is

An antidote for what they encounter of affliction

لا تولِهِم مِنكَ العِتابَ لِفَلتَةٍ

أَو عَثرَةٍ مِن جاهِل مُتَمَرّدِ

Do not blame them for a slip

Or stumble from an ignorant obstinate one

فَهُمُ العيالُ العاجِزونَ وَما لَهُم

بَعدَ الإِلَهِ سِوى الجَنابِ الأَحمَدي

For they are the helpless dependents and they have

None but God then the most lauded noble one

وَبَقاءُ مَولانا المُشير سَميّهِ

لا زالَ في أَمنٍ بِفَضلِ المَولِدِ

And the survival of our master the counselor, may his name

Remain in safety, by the grace of the birth

وَبِفَضلِ صاحِبِهِ وَفَضلِ صَحابِهِ

وَالآلِ وَالأَتباعِ وَالمُتَشَهِّدِ

And by the grace of its owner and the grace of his companions

And the family, the followers, and the martyrs

وَالشاذِلي وَمحرِزٍ وَالفاضِلِ ال

حَطّابِ وَالباجي وَكُلّ مُحَمَّدي

And Shadhili, Mahrez, and the virtuous El Khattabi

And Baji and all the Mohammedans
