سَما بِسَعيد العَز خَير المَوالدِ

وَهنّا بِهِ الإقبالُ أَكرمَ وَالدِ

The skies celebrate Sa'id's noble birth

Its season adorned with the king's bounty

وَمَوسمه حلّى مِن الملك جيدَه

وَكلّل مِنهُ تاجَه بِالفَرائد

And crowned his diadem with treasures

He is described among kings as

وَيَنعته بَينَ المُلوك بِأَنَّهُ

إِمامٌ أَثيل المَجد عَذب المَوارد

The peerless leader of glory, sweet of gifts

His loyalists extol his supremacy in him

وَيُثني عَلى عَليائه فيهِ مُخلص

بِما يَزدَري في نَظمه بِالقَلائد

With what they spurn in their compositions of necklaces

And decree for him in his time advancement

وَيَقضي لَهُ في عَصره بِتقدّمٍ

عَلى من عداه مِن طَريف وَتالد

Over all besides him, of fine pedigree and ancestry

And how could it not when he has raised his armies

وَكَيفَ وَقَد رَبّى عَساكره الَّتي

لَها في الوَغى إِقدام عمرو وَخالد

With in battle the audacity of Amr and Khalid

And built in the lands to guard a fortress

وَشَيّد في الأَوطان للحفظ قلعةً

مَدافعها تودي بِكُل مُعاند

Whose cannons destroy every opponent

And immortalized in it the memory of his birth

وَخلّد فيها ذكر مَولده الَّذي

إِلى صلة الأَعوام يُومي بِعائد

To the joining years it daily brings prosperity

The flags of joy and clarity wave for it

وَتَنشر أَعلام المَسَرَّة وَالصَفا

بِهِ في جَمادى فَوق رَأس الفَراقد

Above him in Jumada atop the tombs

And on the feast of this birth ever remaining

وَفي عيد ذا المِيلاد لازالَ باقياً

مَدى الدَهر يَحظى بِالمُنى كُلُّ وافد

For the length of time frequented by every comer with wishes

And spreads out the palms of prayer beseeching

وَيَبسط راحات الدعا متضرعاً

لَهُ ببقا ملك وَشبل مُجاهد

For the survival of the king and warrior cub

And recites to him on the day of congratulations dating

وَيَنشده يَوم التَهاني مؤرّخاً

سَما بِسَعيد العزّ خَير المَوالد

The skies celebrate Sa'id's noble birth
