أجَدتَ القولَ فينا يا بَشيرُ

وعمَّ الحاضرينَ لكَ السُّرورُ

You have expressed truthfully, O Bearer of Good News,

And those present were filled with joy because of you.

وأعطيتَ العِبارةَ حُسنَ سَبكٍ

بِعزمٍ ليسَ يَعروهُ فُتورُ

You have given eloquence a beautiful composition,

With determination that does not know weakness.

أتيتم بالسُّرورِ وليس بِدعاً

إذا ما بالسُّرورِ أتى البَشيرُ

You have brought joy that is no novelty,

For joy comes wherever the bearer of good news appears.
