يا طَلعة ما حكَتها طَلعة البَدرِ

قَد بَشّرت بِالعُلا وَالعز وَالنَصرِ

O rising that a rising moon has not told of

You have brought good news of glory, might, and victory

يَهنيك نَجلُك يا عَبد الحَميد لَقَد

ضاهاك في الحُسن بَل في رفعة القَدر

Your son congratulates you, O Abdel Hamid, for you

Have equaled him in beauty, nay in loftiness of rank

عوّذته بسميَّيهِ محمدٍ ال

هادي وصدّيقِه السامي أَبي بَكر

I protected him with the two names of Muhammad

The Guide, and his noble friend Abu Bakr

وافاك عِندَ صِيام الفَرض في أَحَد

لِثامنٍ قَبله عَشرٌ مِن الشَهر

He came to you while fasting the obligatory fast on Sunday

The eighth, with ten days of the month preceding it

وَشَمسه أَشرَقَت في صُبح مَولده

بِمصر فازدان مِنها كَوكَب الفَجر

And its sun rose in the dawn of his birth

In Egypt, so the morning planet was adorned by it

فَقال حينَ بَدا مَجدي يُؤرخه

محمد قَد أَتى بِاليُمن وَالبِشر

So it said when my glory appeared, narrating it

Muhammad has come with good fortune and glad tidings
