حُسَين حَباهُ إِلهُ السّما
وَمَنَّ عَليهِ بِنَجلٍ حَميدْ
Husayn—the God of heaven has graced him,
and graciously bestowed on him a praiseworthy son,
يَعيشُ رَشيداً وَيَحيا سَعيداً
بِعَيشٍ رَغيدٍ وَعُمرٍ مَديد
who shall live rightly guided and live happily,
in comfort and ease, for many long years.
يَنالُ الفَلاحَ بِخَيرِ الصّلاح
وَحُسنِ النّجاحِ بِرأيٍ سَديد
He shall attain prosperity through the best of righteousness,
and splendid success through sound judgment.
وَدامَ يُقَرُّ عيوناً أَبوهُ
وَنَفساً يَطيبُ بِهذا الوَليد
May his father long continue to gladden eyes,
and rejoice at heart in this newborn child.
وَبُشرى حُسين أَتاه كَما
وَأَرِّخ يوَدُّ غلام سَعيد
And Husayn’s glad tidings came to him just as
—date it thus—“a happy boy wishes.”
