من حامد كَوكب الإقبال قَد لَمَعا

وَنُوره لِلوَرى في مَصر قَد سَطَعا

From one who praises the star of prosperity that shone

And its light illuminated the land in Egypt

وَازداد شَعبان تشريفاً بِمولده

في سادس بَعد عشر حسبما سَمِعا

Shaban gained more nobility through his birth

On the sixteenth as he had heard

وَجاءَ يَحكي نسيماً في شَمائله

وَفي الملاحة وَالأَخلاق قَد بَرَعا

And a breeze describes his noble traits

And his integrity and morals he excelled

وَالمَجد لَما بَدا في السَعد أَرخه

مَحمد خير بَدر ناجح طلعا

And glory ordained his time of fortune

Muhammad the best full moon rose
