أضحى الهناء جميلا في تلاقينا

وغاب عاذلنا واغتاظ واشينا

Joy has become beautiful in our meeting

And our blamer has disappeared, angered and malignant

وجاء ركب مليك الروح من سفر

واطرب العيس بالألحان حادينا

And the caravan of the King of the Soul has come back from a journey

And the meadows are delighted with melodies guiding us

وقام داعي سرور الانس في طرب

وغمر العز بالبشرى صحارينا

And the caller of human happiness has gotten up in rapture

And glory has flooded our plains with good tidings

وغرّد السعد كالقمري في سحر

والورق ساجعةٌ تبدو أفانينا

And fortune has sung like a nightingale at dawn

And the leaves seem to be our whispers

وجاءت الريح بالأفراح راوية

شذاء عطر سرى صبحا بوادينا

And the wind has come telling of joys

The fragrant scent of a secret dawn spreading through our valleys

وانكف جنح الدجا مذبان عن قمر

اضحت بإشراقه تزهز نواحينا

And the wings of darkness recoiled from the moon

Its radiance makes our regions tremble

رامت تغطي الليالي نوره فبدا

كالصبح زمادته إيضاحاً وتبيينا

Its light tried to cover the nights so it appeared

Like the dawn, its illumination clarifying and explaining for us

هذا عليّ الرضى والأسعدي بما

وافى يشير به هل من يضاهينا

This pleases me and makes me most fortunate with what

Comes to show, is there anyone who can equal us?

هذا الأمير الذي العليا به ابتهجت

حتى هناءً بعلياه تهادينا

This prince who pleased the Most High

Until by his elevation, consolation came upon us

مذ حل جلق قام المجد فيها له

وبان عن فضله مما يسامينا

Since the brave hero arrived, glory arose in it for him

And his merit beyond what elevates us became evident

وسار للساحل الرومي في همم

سنية فحوى عزاً وتمكينا

And he set out with intentions for the Roman coast

That implied honor and enablement

دعا له المجد في نيل المنى سحرا

أجابه السعد من أعلاه أمينا

Glory called him at dawn to attain wishes

Good fortune answered him from its heights faithfully

ذو غرةٍ حببت للناس طلعتها

وزادها اللَه بالأنوار تزيينا

Of a crescent whose emergence made people love it

And God increased its beauty with adornments

وحين عم بفضل كل ناحية

قامت لديه بنو العليا محبينا

And when its grace enveloped every region

The people of high status became his loving supporters

غيثُ سماحته والغوث ساحته

فكم نعاطي بها من كاس صافينا

The rain of his generosity and the shelter of his field

So how much do we gain from his cup of purity?

طابت معالمه جادت مكارمه

أبو المعالي به حزنا معالينا

His principles are benign, his virtues abound

The father of excellences, our excellences grieved through him

وكم ظفرنا بنيل من مواهبه

جودا وكم برزت آثاره فينا

And how much we gained by attaining some of his gifts

Generosity, and how many of its traces appeared in us

فهذه منح مولاه أحكمها

أحكام لطف فجل اللَه بارينا

So these are grants from his Master, He perfected them

With rulings of gentleness, may God exalt our Creator

فلا معدّ ولا عبس ولا مضر

نالوا الذي قد بلغنا من تهانينا

So there is no discomfort, frowning, or harm

That reached us from the congratulations we attained

هذا السني الذي حزنا الثناء به

وعمنا الفضل قاصينا ودانينا

This laudable one whom praise saddened for him

And grace enveloped all of our near and far

به سمونا على هام السماك وإن

نشهد قتالا فيمناه عيانينا

Through him we rose above the height of high peaks and if

We witness war, our eyes witness him there

سل المعالي وسل سمر العوالي وسل

سود الليالي وسل عنه الدواوينا

Ask the heights, and ask the secrets of grandeur, and ask

The nights' darkness, and ask about him from our records

من آل أسعد مخطوب السعادة من

قوم كرام إلى العلياء مجدينا

From the Aseed family, destined for fortune, from

Noble folk, lauded by us for the Most High

سل الرماح وسل بيض الصفاح وسل

يوم الكفاح وسل عنه أعادينا

Ask the spears, and ask the plains of separation, and ask

The day of struggle, and ask about him from our enemies

أيا عليا سما سامي العلى واتى

بالنصر مقتفيا آيات ياسينا

O Most High, he attained the lofty summit and came

With victory, following the signs of our founder

خذها بعفو لقد وافقت على عجل

لروض فضل قطفنا منه ماشينا

Take it with pardon, I quickly composed it

For a meadow of merit whose fruits we picked as we walked

كم أهل فضل بديع بالثنا نظموا

باب جودك من قبلي دواوينا

How many noble people beautifully composed poetry

About your generosity before me in our records

لكنها بالهنا جاءت تقول لنا

أضحى الهناء جميلا في تلاقينا

But it came to tell us with joy:

Joy has become beautiful in our meeting
