وُجودُك فَضلٌ للزَمان وَجودُ

علينا ففينا دائماً لكَ عيدُ

Your existence is a blessing for this era

For us, you are always a joy

وَما العيد الّا أَن يهنئَ نَفسَهُ

مُهَنّا بأَيّامٍ عليهِ تَعودُ

And what is joy but to congratulate oneself

With days that keep coming back to you

وَقَد طالَما هنّا بك الشَرقُ نفسَهُ

وانَّ المهني نفسَهُ لَسَعيدُ

The East has long congratulated itself with you

And the one who congratulates is happy indeed

لك الفضل لا يحتاج فينا لشاهدٍ

والّا فكُلُّ العلَمينَ شهودُ

You need no witness among us for your merit

Else all the worlds stand witness

تجرَّدتَ عَن دُنياك معتزلاً لها

وَلَستَ سوى وجه الالِه تُريدُ

You detached yourself from your world, secluding yourself from it

And you desire nothing but the face of God

وَلكنَّها لم تَرضَ عنك تجرُّداً

فوافَتك عَن شَوقٍ وانت بَعيدُ

But it did not accept your detachment from it

And came to you out of longing, while you were far

وَأَهدتك ما فيها من المجد والعُلى

كَزائرَةٍ منها اليك وُفودُ

It gifted you the glory and sublimity within it

Like a visitor to you, thronging

وَمثلُك أَسمى رتبةً من حُطامها

ولكن بِما يَقنو الكَريمُ يَجودُ

And the likes of you are of a status loftier than its rubble

But the noble gives with what brings tranquility to the soul

فخرتَ بها وُسمَ الملوك دلالةً

على ذاك لا شيءٌ هناك جَديدُ

You took pride in it, and the name of kings is an indication

Of that, nothing new awaits over there

رفعتَ لنا شأناً الى الاوج واصلاً

على اننا بَيتٌ وانت عَمودُ

You raised our status to the pinnacle, origin

That we are a house, and you the pillar

أَخو همَّةٍ لا تنثني في ملَّمةٍ

واسياف عَزمٍ ما لهنَّ غمودُ

A brother of ambition that does not bend in adversity

And blades of determination that have no sheaths

لَقَد شَمِلَ الشَرقَ اعتنآؤُكَ كُلَّهُ

تَدور على أَنحآئِهِ وَتَرودُ

Your care has encompassed the entire East

Circling its regions, wandering

فانتَ كَشَمسٍ يشمَل الارضَ نورُها

وَغيثٍ عليها بالحَياءِ يَجودُ

You are like a sun whose light covers the earth

And rain upon it generously bestowing life
