يُهَنِّئُكَ المَملوكُ بِالعَشرِ وَالشَهرِ

وَبِالعيدِ عيدِ النَحرِ يا مَلِكَ العَصرِ

The slave congratulates you on the tenth, the month

And on the Feast of Sacrifice, O King of the Age

وَيُنهي إِلى العِلمِ الشَريفِ بِأَنَّهُ

عَلى قَدَمِ الإِخلاصِ في السِرِّ وَالجَهرِ

And he concludes with the noble knowledge that

You are true and sincere openly and in secret

وَها أَنا ذا أَدعو لَكَ اللَهَ دائِماً

مَعَ الصَلَواتِ الخَمسِ وَالشَفعِ وَالوِترِ

And here I am, praying to God for you always

With the five prayers, the sunnah, and the witr

وَآمَلُ أَنّي إِن أَعِش لَكَ مُدَّةً

سَتَبقى لَكَ الأَيّامُ في طَيِّبِ الذِكرِ

And I hope that if I live for you for some time

You will remain in pleasant memory

وَإِنّي لَأَرجو أَنَّ جودَكَ شامِلي

قَريباً عَلى قَدرِ اِهتِمامَكَ لا قَدري

And I do hope your generosity will encompass me

Soon according to your care for me, not my worth

وَإِنَّكَ إِن أَولَيتَني مِنكَ أَنعُماً

فَإِنّي مَلِيٌّ بِالدُعاءِ وَبِالشُكرِ

And indeed if you favor me with your boons

Then I will be devoted to prayers and thanks for you

تَشُدُّ بِها أَزري وَتَقوى بِها يَدي

تُعِزُّ بِها قَدري تُزيدُ بِها وَقري

They will strengthen my resolve and empower my hand

Increase my worth and multiply my dignity

لَعَلَّ الَّذي في أَوَّلِ العُمرِ فاتَني

تُعَوِّضُنيهِ أَنتَ في آخِرِ العُمرِ

What missed me in the spring of life

May you compensate it for me in its autumn

وَيالَيتَ أَعمارَ الأَنامِ لَكَ الفِدا

وَأَوَّلُهُم عُمري وَأَسبَقُهُم ذِكري

Would that the lives of all people be sacrificed for you

And my life be the first of them in mentioning you
