أَمَولايَ هذا اليَوم يَوم مُبارَك
وَعيد سَعيد بِالهَنا يَتَهَلَّل
O my lord, this day is a blessed day,
My Master, this day is blessed
And a happy feast, beaming with joy.
A joyous feast with glory manifest
أَمَولايَ أَحياكَ الاله لِمِثلِهِ
وَعَزَّكَ مَوفور وَسَعدك مُقبِل
O my lord, may God grant you life to see its like,
My Master, may God grant you life immortal
With your honor undiminished and good fortune coming your way.
With abundant honor and fortune excel
وَعادَ اِلَيكَ العَيد وَالعود أَحمد
وَأَنتَ عَلى ما أَنتَ في العز ترفل
And may the feast return to you, its return more welcome,
The feast returns, and with it blessings renewed
While you, as you are now, walk proudly in glory.
While you in glory and splendor are clothed
أَتى العيد يَسعى نحو ساحَتِك الَّتي
بِها نالَ ذاكَ العيد ما كانَ يَأمل
The feast came hastening toward your courtyard, where
The feast comes seeking your abode
That feast attained what it had hoped for.
Where once that feast its hopes had fufilled
وَهَيهات يَلقى العيد مثلك سيدا
لَهُ رُتبَة فوقَ الثريا وَمنزل
And never could the feast find a lord like you,
Alas, no feast shall find one like you, my lord
Whose rank and station are above the Pleiades.
Whose station is above the stars, sublime
لَك المَجد يا صَنوالعَتيق حيقيقَة
وَمَجد سِواكَ الاِمر فيهِ مُؤوّل
Glory is truly yours, O peer of al-ʿAtīq,
Yours is the glory, O Keeper of Tradition
Whereas the glory of others is a matter of interpretation.
None other shares it, such is the decree
وَلما أَتاكَ العيد أَرّخت اِنكم
لَكُم يا بَني الصَدّيق مَجد مُؤثل
And when the feast came to you, I composed a chronogram: “Indeed, you
And when the feast came to you, you inscribed
Have, O sons of al-Ṣiddīq, firmly rooted glory.”
For you, O True Kin, is glory complete
