هِلال لاحَ أم شِبْلٌ تبدّي

أم النَّجْلُ الذي وافى مجدا

Is it a crescent moon that appeared

Or glory that reached its zenith?

كريمُ مُسْتفادٌ من كريمٍ

يفوق على الورى فخراً ومجْدا

A generous man, benefiting from the generous

Excelling over the world in pride and glory

لقد ملاّكَهُ ربّي بخيرٍ

وقَلّدهُ من التوفيق عِقْدَا

My Lord has endowed him with goodness

And granted him success and leadership

أتى تأريخه في بيت شعرٍ

أنار نسيجه فكري وأسْدا

His date came in a line of poetry

Enlightening my thoughts and intentions

بجدِّكَ جاءك المولود جَدّاً

وأرجو أن تراه أباً وجَدّا

Through your excellence this newborn came highly esteemed

And I hope to see him become a father and grandfather
