شَهر الصِيام أَتى بِأَبهَج مَولدِ

لِلصادق النَجل الرَفيع المحتدِ

The month of fasting has come with the most joyous birth

Of the truthful son, the noble and virtuous one

وَبَدا لِوالده الكميّ هلاله

مِن شَمس حُسن مثلُها لَم يُوجد

And for his father its crescent has appeared

From a sun of beauty the like of which has not been found

فَلَثامنٍ مِن بَعد عَشرٍ قَد خَلَت

مِن ذَلِكَ الشَهر الكَريم المُفرَد

So on the eighth after ten have passed

Of that noble and peerless month

أَنشدت مِن طَرَب بِذاك مُؤرِّخاً

سَعدت أَمانة يُوسف بِمحمد

I recited out of joy with that dating

The felicity of the trusteeship of Yusuf with Muhammad
