بُشراكَ يا فَاضلا فاقَ الوَرى أَدَبا

بِمولد لحفيد قَد سَما حسبا

Congratulations to you, O virtuous one, whose manners surpass all people's

On the birth of a grandson who has attained a noble lineage

وَلاحَ في رجب كَالبَدر مُبتهجاً

بَينَ الكَواكب بِالنُور الَّذي وَهَبا

And shone in Rajab like the full moon, delighted

Among the stars with the light that he was granted

فَقُلت يَهنيك يا عَبد الرَحيم فعش

منعّماً في بَنيك السادة النُجُبا

So I said, may it delight you, O Abdel Rahim, and may you live

In comfort with your children, the eminent nobles

ما أَنشدت أَلسنُ البُشرى مُؤرّخةً

هذا الأَمين لِمَأمون العُلوم صَبا

Never have the tongues of humankind recited good tidings

Of this trustee to the trusted repository of knowledge in his prime
