تَبسم في الهَنا ثَغر المَعالي

لِصَدر ناصر الأَوطان عالي

A smile graces the lips of the sublime one

The protector of the nation's chest is high

وَجاءَ العيد يَسعى بِالتَهاني

لِدَولته عَلى أَثر الهِلال

And Eid comes seeking congratulations

For his state after the crescent's arrival

وَقَد صامَت بَنو الآداب عَمّا

يَغذّي لا عَن السحر الحَلال

The people of refinement have fasted from

That which does not come from permitted magic

وَكانَ الفطر بَينَ يَديه مِنهُم

لِرُؤيته عَلى نَظم اللآلي

And for them the breakfast was in his presence

For seeing him in the order of sequences

وَمِن علياه بِالتَشريف فازَت

رَعيّتُه بِتَقبيل النِعال

And from his most high place those he honored

His subjects by kissing his shoes

فَصارَ لَها بِذاك عَلى سِواها

سَناء دُونه شمُّ الجِبال

Thus for them over others

Lofty renown below the mountains' scent

وَكَيفَ وَإِن هَذا الدَهر عَبد

لَهُ في مَصره بَينَ المَوالي

And how could it not when this era's slave

For him in his Egypt between the loyalties

وَإِن سَليله طوسن المفدَّى

رَئيس لِلعَساكر وَالرِجال

And that his descendant Tusun the revered

Leader of the armies and men

فَلا زالَ الصَفا في كُل عيد

يَهنيه بِإِقبال اللَيالي

So the good feeling during every Eid

Congratulates him on the passage of nights

وَلا زلنا نُؤرخه سَعيد

لِعيد الفطر شرّف بِالنَوال

And we date it fortunate

For the Feast of Fast-Breaking honored with gifts
