في خدِّه وعذاره الفتَّان

عوّذ سناه بزخرفٍ ودخان

With charm in his cheek and alluring glances,

His teeth were adorned with ornament and perfume.

واسْتجل وجنته ربيعاً أوَّلاً

جاءَ العذار لها ربيعاً ثاني

His gardens blossomed into early spring,

Then came another springtime in his prime.

ومعاطفاً تحكي يراع محمدٍ

غصناً عليه جوامع البستان

His clothes tell tales of the meadows of Muhammad,

A branch bearing all the fruits of the garden.

شيخ الشيوخ إمامها وبليغها

في عنفوان شبيبة الشيبان

Shaykh of shaykhs, imam and eloquent speaker,

In the springtime of elder statesmen's youth.

يا من مباديه نهاية معشرٍ

في العلم والحسنات كالإحسان

O you whose beginnings are the endpoint for others

In knowledge, virtues and acts of kindness.

هنئت عيد النحر تنحر شائناً

وتعيش ممتدحاً رفيع الشان

I congratulate Eid al-Adha as you sacrifice hostility

And live praised, of lofty status.

في رفعةٍ وسيادةٍ وسعادةٍ

وزهاوةٍ وإفادةٍ وتهاني

In an elevation, supremacy, prosperity,

Freshness, benefit and congratulations.
