يا شَمسَ مَجدٍ بِها للمَجدِ تَأبيدُ

وَلِلمَفاخِرِ تَخليدٌ وَتأييدُ

O sun of glory, by which glory is made eternal,

And for the eminent, perpetuation and support.

وَضَوؤُها المَجدُ وَالعلياءُ مَطلعُها

وَبُرجها العزُّ لا يَعدوه تشييدُ

Its light is glory, its rising place sublimity,

Its zodiac is honor, which no building can transcend.

أَبشِر عَليَّ الذُّرى جَذلان ذا فرحٍ

فَأَنتَ بِالسّعدِ مِن مَولاكَ موعودُ

Rejoice, my heart, with delight, you who are promised

Good fortune from your Lord, and with it contentment.

أَبشِر بِنَجلٍ مِنَ العَلياءِ مولدهُ

عَلَيهِ ظلُّ العُلى وَالمَجد مَمدودُ

Rejoice at a son born of the exalted,

Upon him the shade of loftiness and glory is cast.

أَتى عَلى عَطشٍ بَعدَ الإِياسِ وَقَد

وافى بِمَولدهِ عيدٌ وَتَعييدُ

He came after despair of fertility, and

His birth has brought about a feast and renewal.

يَربو رَضيع المَعالي غَير مُنفَطِمٍ

مَحضون مَجدٍ وَفيهِ المَجد مسعودُ

The infant of noble traits is still suckling,

Nurtured in glory, and in him glory is blessed.

في مَهدِ عِزٍّ لَهُ العَلياءُ خادِمة

وَفيهِ تَحيا العُلى وَالغرّ والجودُ

In a cradle of honor the exalted are his servants,

And in it survive sublimity, pride, and generosity.

وَفي ثُريّا العُلى وَالعزّ أَرّخه

بِالجدّ بِالسّعدِ هَذا البدرُ مَولودُ

And in the constellation of sublimity and honor he recorded him,

With excellence, good fortune - this full moon is born.

يَحيا سَعيداً طَويلَ العُمر في نِعَمٍ

وَصيتهُ الدّهرَ مَمدوحٌ وَمَحمودُ

May he live happily for long in prosperity,

His reputation through time praised and lauded.

مُبارَكُ الإِسمِ مَيمون نَقيبتهُ

وَاليمنُ في وَجهِهِ بِالخَيرِ مَعقودُ

Blessed of name, auspicious his horoscope,

And felicity attached to his face with good.

يُحبى بِحَظٍّ سَعيدٍ لا مِثالَ لَهُ

وَمِنه تفلقُ في الدّهرِ الجلاميدُ

He is endowed with a happy fate unlike any other,

And through him the treasures of time are split open.

تَراه جدّاً وَجَدّ الجَدِّ يَرتَعُ في

رَغيدِ عَيشٍ وَلا يَعروهُ تَنكيدُ

You see him earnest, earnest in his earnestness, he grazes

In pleasant living, and no sorrow troubles him.

وَالحَمدُ للَّهِ ذي الآلاءِ جادَ بِهِ

وَفيهِ قَد صارَ لِلأَفراحِ تَجديدُ

Thanks be to God, bountiful, who provided him,

And through him occasions for joy became renewed.

وَهَذهِ نِعمَةٌ جَلّت وَحقَّ لَها

شُكرٌ عَلَينا نُواليهِ وَتَحميدُ

This is a sublime blessing, and it is right for it

That we repay it with gratitude and praise.

فَاِهنأ بِهِ وارِداً أَحلى الهَنا فَرحاً

إِنّ الهَنا مَورد حال وَمورودُ

So congratulate yourself on the sweetest joy in coming to it,

Since joy is the destination of a situation, and of one brought.

قَرير عَينٍ وَمسرور الفُؤادِ بِهِ

وَضِدّك الدّهر مَقهومٌ وَمضهودُ

Pleasant of eye and gladdened of heart through him,

While your counterpart, time, is dejected and suppressed.

لا زِلتُما الدّهرَ في خَيرٍ وَعافيةٍ

ما قامَ طَيرٌ عَلى الأَغصانِ غرّيدُ

You will remain for all time in prosperity and wellness,

As long as a bird alights on branches and warbles.

ما بانَ نَجمٌ وَما هبّت نَسيمُ صبا

ما اِهتَزَّ غُصن بِها في الرّوضِ أملودُ

As long as a star appears, the breeze of morn blows,

A branch in the garden sways, bent with it.

ما الفَتحُ أَنشَدَ جَذلاناً يُهنّئُكم

يا شَمس مَجدٍ بِها لِلمَجدِ تأبيدُ

As long as good fortune recites a poem congratulating you,

O sun of glory, by which glory is made eternal.
