هنيئاً للمواسمِ والتَّهاني

اذا انهزمت من الجَذَلِ الهمومُ

Congratulations on the seasons and felicitations

When worries are defeated by generosity

بَقاءٌ من جمالِ الدين يُحْمي

به الجاني ويحْمَدهُ العَديمُ

Remaining from the beauty of religion protecting

It protects the sinner and the destitute praise it

فانَّ مُحمَّداً عيدُ المَقاوي

وغَيثُهمُ اذا خَوَتِ النُّجومُ

For Muhammad is the feast of the honored

And their rain when the stars withdraw

وليس سُرورُ يومٍ مثل دهْرٍ

وأنْت سُرور فضلكَ لا يَريمُ

No day's joy is like an era's

While you are the joy of your generosity that does not fade

جلوتَ دُجي الحُظوظِ كما تجلَّى

بواضِحِ وجهكَ الليلُ البَهيمُ

You have illuminated the darkness of fortunes as it shone

With the bright light of your face the ignorant night

وجُزْتَ الوصف حتى خِلتُ نقصاً

اذا مدحوكَ قولهمُ كَريمُ

You have exceeded all description until I became deficient

When they praise you their words are generous

فلولا قولُهمْ خِرقٌ جَوادٌ

لَخفَّتْ بي منَ الغَضبِ الحلومُ

If not for their words being inadequate, magnanimous

Anger would have subsided in me

وما عجبي لبذلِكَ والعَطايا

كما عَجبي لصبْرٍ لا يخيمُ

I am not surprised by your generosity and favors

As I am surprised by patience that does not waver

تكاثفُ فيك أثباجُ الأماني

وشمسُ سماءِ بِشْرِكَ ما تَغيمُ

Hopes thicken around you

The sun of your good tidings' sky does not become clouded

وتُكدي المُزْن واليد منك تهْمي

فأينَ بنانُ كفِّكَ والغيومُ

You tire wealth but your hand inspires

So where are the fingers of your hand and the clouds

لقد ملَّ العُفاةُ من العَطايا

وطبعُكَ لا المَلولُ ولا السَّؤومُ

The destitute have certainly tired of favors

While your nature is neither weary nor gloomy

ومُغْبرِّ المَطالعِ مُقْشعِرٍّ

تباعد عن أهِلَّتهِ النَّعيمُ

The horizon's cover is dreadful

Prosperity keeps away from its family

صدوقِ الشَّرِّ كاذبِ كلِّ نوْءٍ

تموتُ به الصَّفايا والقُرومُ

Honest despite harm, lying against any evil

Purity and sanctity die through it

تداعى رِيْفُهُ عطَباً وحَتْقاً

فأسْعَدُ حالِ ساكنهِ السَّقيمُ

Its countryside falls into ruin and ransack

The most fortunate of its inhabitants is the sick

اذا سَلمتْ به أرماقُ حيٍّ

فَسالمهُ صَؤوتٌ أو بَغومُ

When the eyelids of the living are safe through it

Then his greetings are clamors or lowing

غَدتْ حَجرُ الحجال به قبُوراً

وصارَ مَصارعَ الأدْمِ الصَّريمُ

The solid rock became tombs through it

And the courtyards of settlements became the muddy

بعثْتَ عليه صْوباً منْ نَوالٍ

فمُتْلعِهُ بجمَّتهِ يَعومُ

You unleashed on it a flood from your support

So its flooded valleys float through it

فأصبحتِ السِّباخُ به رياضاً

يميسُ بها منْ النَّشْر النَّسيمُ

The plains have become gardens through it

Where the gentle breeze wanders

وكم أخْرستَ من لَجبٍ مهيبٍ

يَذَّلُّ لهَ السَّميذعُ والخَصيمُ

You have silenced many ferocious tyrants

The mighty and the adversary submit to him

برأيٍ ينثرُ الهاماتِ ضَرْباً

وما نَمَّتْ على القِتْل الكُلومُ

With an opinion scattering notions violently

And severity does not grow on killing

فأضحى الجيشُ منبوذاً بقَفْرٍ

على أشْلائِه طَيْرٌ تَحومُ

So the army has become abandoned in the desert

Birds hover over its remnants

وفي بُرْديكَ أغلبُ شمَّريٌّ

وَخِلٌّ في مودَّتهِ حَميمُ

In your coldness those with pulled sleeves prevail

And the devoted friend is intimate in his affection

اذا صافى فسلسالْ بَرودٌ

واِنْ عادى فمُنْقَعهُ سُمومُ

When clear, then chains of coolness

But if an enemy, then his drink is poison

فَضَلْتَ فما تُبارى في المَعالي

ومنْ جحدَ الضُّحىغُمْرٌ مليمُ

You have excelled, so none compete in glories

While one who denies daylight has a miserable blindness

وغيرُ مُنازعٍ في نُبْلِ قَدْرٍ

وقد شهدتْ يمفخرهِ تَميمُ

With no peer in the nobility of worth

And Tamim has already witnessed his pride
