تهنّا أبيت اللعن بالمولودِ
يا خير كلّ متوّجٍ مصمودِ
Rejoice, my abode, be rid of curses,
O best of every crowned and supported one
تهنّا بمولوٍد شريفٍ جاء من
هبة الإله الواحد المعبودِ
Rejoice at a noble newborn who came from
The gift of the One God, the Worshipped
ولدٌ سعيدُ الحظِّ طالع نجمه
قد لاحَ في أفق السما بسعودِ
A fortunate child, his star has risen
It has appeared in the horizon of the sky with good fortune
صارت بِطلعتهِ الليالي كلّها
ما بينَ جملة بيضها والسودِ
With his rising, all the nights
Became, between their white and black parts
وتنسّمت أَيّامه والدهر قد
عذبت مشاربُ حوضه المورودِ
And his days breathed, and time
Sweetened the drinking places of its flowing stream
وَالأرض أَشرقَ وجهها بالنور حت
تى ضاء في أمصارها والبيضِ
And the earth’s face shone with light until
It illuminated its regions and deserts
وَكأَنّ غدوة يوم مولده لنا
وَحسن بهجته صبيحة عيدِ
And it was as if the morning of the day of his birth for us
And the beauty of its cheer was a feast day
حقّ لِمولدهِ يواصل بالضحى
أَطياره التغريد بالتغريدِ
It is right that on his birthday, birds
Continue their chirping with chirping
وَالريحُ تجري سجسجاً في صبحها
وَعشيّها باللُطفِ والتمييدِ
And the wind blows gently in its morning
And evening with subtlety and waving
وَالروضُ ينفح زهره كالمسكِ من
دانٍ يفوحُ أَريجه وبعيدِ
And the garden emanates its flowers like musk
From a vessel overflowing its scent from afar
وَالدوح مِن فرحٍ يهزّ غصونهُ
وَيعانقُ الأملودَ بالأملودِ
And the branches of the pomegranate tree shake with joy
And embrace the buds with buds
وَالأكمُ ينطقُ جهرةً بدعائها
للّه بِالتهليل والتحميدِ
And the camel-litter announces glorification loudly
To God with pronouncing His greatness and praise
وَملائكُ الرحمنِ تنزلُ كلّها
لِنزولِ مشهدِ مهده المشهودِ
And the angels of the Merciful all descend
To where his cradle is witnessed
وَالشهبُ مِن أَفلاكها من فرحةٍ
تهوي وتلثمُ أرضه بسجودِ
And the stars in their orbits out of joy
Plummet and kiss the ground in prostration
حَرس الإلهُ سماءَ بيت فخارهِ
مِن كلّ مسترقِ الغيوبِ مريدِ
God protected the sky over the home of his lowliness
From every eavesdropper with evil intent
وَأَعاذهُ مِن كلّ كبدٍ كوّنت
نفاته من كائدٍ لمكيدِ
And protected him from every resentful liver
Whose breath forms plots of scheming
وَأقرّ عينك مدّة الدنيا بهِ
وَحباكما بنهاية التمجيدِ
And delight your eye for the duration of life with him
And grant you both the utmost glory in the end
هذي فصولٌ مِن إِلهك أصبحت
تسقى بعقدِ لوائها المعقودِ
These are seasons from your God that have come
To be watered by the sequence of their knotted rope
فَاِشكر إِلهك حقّ واجب شكره
سبحانهُ مِن مبدئٍ ومعيدِ
So thank your God as is rightly due His thanks
Glory be to Him, the Originator and the Returner
وَاِلبث عزيزاً يا فلاحُ ومفلحاً
في عزّةٍ موصولةٍ بخلودِ
And remain mighty, O successful one, and causing success
In a continuing mightiness connected with eternity
