عجائبُ أرضِ اللّهِ شَتَّى كَثيرَةٌ

وأعْجَبُها حاوي المَناقِبِ يَزْدَنُ

The wonders of God's land are manifold

But the most wondrous is the one of noble traits

تَعَذَّرَ في الناسِ الكمالُ وحازَهُ

بأجْمَعِهِ والنَّقْصُ خَزْيانُ مُذْعِنُ

Perfection eluded people yet he attained it whole

Flawless, while deficiency is the mark of one resigned

فبأسٌ وإِقدامٌ ولُطْفٌ ورأفَةٌ

وجودٌ كصَوْبِ المُزْنِ يَهْمي ويَهْتِنُ

Courage and valor, kindness and mercy

Generosity like heavy rain pouring forth

وعِلْمٌ تُخَفِّيهِ الإِمارَةُ كامِنٌ

ولكنَّهُ عند التَّفاوضِ بَيِّنُ

Knowledge hidden by rule, latent

Yet evident when contending and debating

وخاشٍ مِن الرَّحْمنِ في خَلَواتِهِ

لَفوتٌ إِلى ذِكْرِ العَواقِبِِ مُحْسِنُ

God-fearing in his solitude

Seeking reward through contemplating the consequences

يُسِرُّ نَداهُ في العُفاةِ تَرَفُّعاً

ولكِنْ لنَصْرِ الجارِ مُبْدٍ ومُعْلِنُ

His generosity demeans the destitute out of pride

But for aiding neighbors he's keen and open

ووافٍ بأسْلافِ العُهودِ وِدادُهُ

مِن الخَطْبِ واللأواءِ حِصْنٌ مُحَصَّنُ

Loyal to covenants of old with his affection

A fortress fortified against misfortune and affliction

مُظفَّرُ دينِ اللّهِ والماجِدُ الذي

تَزيدُ بهِ الدُّنْيا بَهاءً وتَحْسُنُ

Victorious for God's religion, the glorious one

Through whom the world gleams brighter and seems wholesome

فهُنِّىءَ شَهْرُ الصَّوْمِ والدَّهْرُ كُلُّهُ

بعَلْيائِهِ ما كَرَّ صُبْحٌ ومَوْهِنُ

So congratulations to the fasting month, and to all time

For his sublime ascent, however long the night and gloaming
