هَذِهِ بضعة الحسين الفَريدِ

وَهُوَ فَخري شبل الوَزير الرَشيدِ

This is the unique pride of al-Husayn

The most noble cub of the wise vizier

جَعفَر الصادق الَّذي قَد تَحلَّى

منهُ جيد العُلى بِرَأيٍ سَديد

Ja'far al-Sadiq who was endowed

With the neck of loftiness through insight so true

طَلعت شَمسُها لِثالث عشرٍ

بِرَبيع مِن عام يُمنٍ جَديد

Its sun rose on the thirteenth

Of a new blessed year

فَأَضاءَت مِنها بِمَصر لَيالٍ

لَم تَزَل تَزدَهي بِأَفضَل عيد

Illuminating thereby the nights of Egypt

Which cease not to grow more joyous through this feast

وَلِمَجدي إَقبالها قال أَرخ

أَقبَلت عصمة بِوَجه سَعيد

And chronicling its advent in glory, one dated

“Chastity has arrived with a blissful face.”
