زعم الناس أن للسَّعْدِ نَجْماً

واحداً لا يزيدُ أَوْ نَجْمَيْنِ

People claim that good fortune has but one star,

Or two stars at most, and no more.

قلتُ مهلاً ستلتقي الشمس والبد

رُ فكَمْ يُطْلِعانِ من سَعْدين

But wait, I said, the sun and the moon will meet,

And so how many stars of good fortune will rise?

سَتُلاقِي الإمامَ عمَّا قليلٍ

بنتُ مولاه سيِّدِ المَغْربَين

The Imam will soon encounter

The daughter of his Master, Lord of the Two Maghrebs.

وسيُعطَى الإمَامُ منها سعوداً

كلها للإمام قُرَّةُ عَيْنِ

And she will grant the Imam much happiness -

All her joy belongs to the Imam, delight of her eye.
