يا سَعدُ أَعلِن بالهَناء وَرَدِّد
قَد سُرّ دينُ مُحَمَّد بِمُحَمَّد
O Saad announce the good news and repeat
The religion of Muhammad has been helped by Muhammad
وَتَساوَت البُشرى بِهِ فَجَميعُها
يَروي مَحاسِنَهُ صَحيحَ المُسنَد
And the good tidings have become equal through him, all of them
Relate his good traits, authentic in its chain of narration
واِهتَزَّت الخَضرا وَأَشرَقَ نورُها
وَبَدَت بَشاشَتُها لَعين المُهتَدي
The greens shook and his light shone
And their joy appeared to the guided one's eye
أَو ما تَرى الأَفراحَ عَمّ بِلادَها
وَمَلا ضَواحيها بِهَذا السَيِّد
Or do you not see the joy that has enveloped its lands
And filled its outskirts with this master
العادِل السَمح العَطوف المُرتَضى
مِن عترَةٍ شُهرَت بطيب المُحتَد
The just, the noble, the kind, the agreeable one
From a family renowned for pure ancestry
وَرَثوا السِيادَةَ كابِراً عَن كابِر
إِرثاً بِغَيرِ تَغَلّبٍ وَتَمَرّد
They inherited leadership for generations
An inheritance without usurpation or transgression
حَتّى أَتَتكَ وَقَلبُها لَكَ شَيِّقٌ
تَطوي المَراحِلَ فَدفَداً في فَدفَد
Until she came to you with a longing heart
Traversing the miles hastily in haste
فَوَسعتَها برّا وَقُمتَ بِحَملِها
وَأَخَذتَ رايَتَها وَأَلقَت باليَد
You welcomed her openly and took on her burden
And took her flag and she let go of it
وَتَسارَعَ الكُبَراءُ نَحوَكَ خُضّعاً
فَرِحاً بمطلعك البهيّ الأَسعَدِ
The prominent ones hastened to you in submission
Happy with your splendid and fortunate advent
مِن عالِمٍ عَلَمٍ وَقائِدِ عَسكَرٍ
وَرَئيس ناحيَةٍ وَمالِك مقودَ
From a scholar, a knowledgeable man and army leader
And district chief and led estate owner
يَفدونَ نَعلَكَ بالنُفوس وَيَجعَلوا
آثارَها كُحُلاً مَكانَ الإثمَدِ
They sacrifice their souls for your sandal
And make its track kohl in place of antimony
فَلَقيتَهُم مَلقى الكَريم لِضَيفِهِ
وَضَمَمتَهُم ضَمَّ الكَمي لِمُهَنَّدِ
You met them with the welcome of the noble host
And embraced them with the embrace of the beloved
وَتأكَّدَت لَكَ في القُلوبِ مَحَبَّةٌ
وَمَهابَةٌ زادَت بِذاكَ المَشهَد
And love and awe of you was confirmed in the hearts
And that scene increased it
وَصَرَفتَ عَزمَكَ في اِقتِناص قُلوبهم
لا في الرقاب بنُهبَةٍ لِلمُجتَدي
And you resolved to win their hearts
Not the necks with plunder for the transgressor
وَشَرَعتَ في غَزو العَدوِّ بِجَحفَلٍ
يَختالُ ما بَينَ القَنا المُتأوّد
And you marched against the enemy with an army
Strutting between the lofty staffs
باعوا النُفوسَ إِلى الإِلَه بِجَنَّة
وَعَدَ الكِتابُ بِها كَأَخذٍ باليَدِ
They sold their souls to God for Heaven
The Book promised it as if taking by the hand
رَكِبوا بِعَزمَتكَ الفجاجَ وَأمَّلوا
نَصراً وَفَتحاً عاجِلاً وَكأن قَد
They rode the wild horses by your resolve and hoped
For near victory as if already done
يا مَعشَرَ الإِسلامَ وَالنَفرُ الآلى
شُهروا بإحراز العُلى وَالسؤدَد
O community of Islam and the intimate party
Famed for attaining the heights and bracelets
إِن تَنصُروا اللَه اِبشِروا فَبِنَصرِكُم
وَعَدَ الإِلَهُ وَهَل كَهَذا المَوعِد
If you support God, receive good news, for by your support
God has promised, and is there any promise as this?
وَخَلَفتَهُم بالرفق في أَوطانِهِم
وَحَسَمتَ شأفَةَ كُلّ باغٍ مُعتَد
And you left them gently in their homelands
And finished off the trouble of every transgressor
وَأَفَضتَ عَدلَكَ في سجال رَجائِهِم
حَتّى تَروى كُلّ ذي قَلبٍ صَدي
And you dispensed your justice in the register of their hopes
Until every heart is sated
وَمَلَكتَ رقَّهُمُ بِحُسن سَريرَةٍ
مَع سيرَةٍ داوَت فؤادَ المُكمَد
And you captured their necks with good conduct
Along with a lifestyle that cured the resentful heart
وَتَوَجَّهوا بِقُلوبِهِم وَوُجوههم
مِن رُكَّعٍ في العالَمينَ وَسُجَّد
And they turned to you with their hearts and faces
Bowing down in both worlds and prostrating
يَرجونَ خُلدَكَ آمِناً في عَزَّةٍ
طَلقَ المُحيّا بالِغاً ما تَقصُد
Seeking your eternal safety in might
Free in life achieving what you intend
فاِبشر أَميرَ المؤمِنينَ بِبَيعَةٍ
سَرّت وَحَقّكَ قَلبَ كُلِّ مُوَحد
So receive good news, Commander of the Faithful, of a pledged allegiance
That delighted and was your right, in every monotheist's heart
واِسلَم لَنا وَلأُمَةٍ ما إِن لَها
أَمَلٌ سِوى أَن تَستَمِر وَتَخلُد
And entrust us and a community that has no
Hope but to continue and persist
يا أَيُّها المَلِكُ المُشيرُ وَمَن بشهِ
أَسمو وَإِن نرُغمَت بِذَلِكَ حُسَّدي
O King, advisor, and the one I wish highness
And even if I am constrained by that, enviers
يا فارِسَ الهَيجا وَمِصباحَ الدجى
وَالقانِتُ المُتَبَتِّلُ المُتَهَجِّدُ
O knight of resolve and lamp of darkness
And the devout, tested, wakeful one
يا دُرَّةَ السِمط الحُسَيني يا سَنا
مِشكاتهم يا ذا العُلا المُتَجَدِّدُ
O jewel of the Hashemite kebab, O brilliance
Of their glory, O everlasting lofty one
هَذي نَتيجَةُ خاطِرٍ بَزَغَت لَكُم
يَومَ الهَنا مِن خادِمٍ مُتَرَدد
This is the result of a thought that shone for you
On the day of joy from a hesitant servant
وَهَديَّةٍ مِن كاتِبٍ قَد غالَهُ
كَتبُ المَشيب بأبيَضٍ في أَسوَد
And a gift from a writer who was overwhelmed
The white hairs written in black by old age
تَمشي عَلى اِستحيا وَحُقّ لمثلها
نَيلُ المَرام لِمُرتَج عَن سَيِّد
It walks shyly and it is the right of its like
To achieve hopes from an excellent master
تَرجو القُبولَ وَأَنتُمُ أَهلٌ لَهُ
وَأَعَزّ ما تَرجوهُ تَقبيلُ اليَد
It hopes for acceptance and you are worthy of it
And the dearest thing it hopes is kissing the hand
فَأَقولُ يا بُشرايَ فُزتُ بِمَطلَبي
وَأَصيحُ واِطَرَبا ظَفرتُ بِمَقصِدي
So I say, O you who bring good news, I got my wish
And I cry out and am thrilled, I attained my purpose
لا زِلتَ في عِزِّ وَسَعدٍ دائِمٍ
تَحظى بِما تَرجو بيَومِكَ وَالغَد
May you remain forever in honor and constant bliss
Enjoying what you wish for your day and tomorrow
بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَبآله وَبصَحبِهِ
وَبِقُطبه المَكتوم شَيخِكَ أَحمَد
By Muhammad, his family and his companions
And your hidden pole, your master Ahmad
