بشرى بروج الجود بشراها

ضاء بأُفق المجد بدراها

The constellations of generosity herald good tidings,

Illuminating the horizons of glory with their full moons.

وقد تجلَّت في سماء العُلى

فاهنأ بذا السعد سراجاها

They have appeared in the sky of the Most High,

So congratulate their lantern on this happiness.

شعَّ نهارُ السعد حين ابتدا

يضيءُ في الزورا فجلاّها

The day of joy shone, when it began

To illuminate the heavens, unveiling them.

واكتست الدنيا لأنواره

أشعةً تجلو محيَّاها

The world was adorned with its lights,

Rays that illuminate its beautiful face.

ثم دياجي النحس زالتْ فما

أسعدها وابيضَّ قطراها

Then the clouds of misfortune disappeared, so it

Became joyful, its raindrops whitened.

بل أنست اليوم حديث الصبا

نسمةُ بشرٍ هبَّ ريَّاها

Rather, today the breeze of good news made it forget

The tales of past youths that blew upon it.

فيا علمتنَّ بنات الفلا

مَن أمس أضناك بأرجاها

So O maidens of distinction, you who yesterday

Were saddened by its meadows.

وأيُّ وجهٍ لأغرٍّ هو اب

نُ الشمس مهما يزهُ خفَّاها

What face is there for a flower that is the

Son of the sun no matter how much its petals fade?

فوقكِ مبدٍ خلف حُجب السرى

زاهي سناً طرقكِ ضوَّاها

Above you a full moon rises behind the curtains of the stars,

Radiant, its path to you illuminated.

إذ كم فرى بطنَ فلاً ماؤها

آلٌ وإعناقاً تخطَّاها

For how often does a sapling bear fruit while

Its branches and stems are still tender?

لجدَّ حتَّى احتلَّ أمُّ القُرى

قد حازَ ما حازَ بمغناها

Until it reached the mother of cities,

Achieving through its singing what it achieved.

في شِقِّ نفسٍ وقت ميلاده

تقاهُ والطيب دثاراها

On the morning of its birth it was preserved

In a split second, and with it good fortune.

رِضى النهى أنجب حيَّ النهى

أشمخها قدراً وأحباها

Satisfaction conceived the living satisfaction,

Exalting it in destiny and blessing it.

ومصطفى أعظم به أطيبا

مثل أخيه عاد أبهاها

And Mustafa is the sweetest with it,

Like his brother returning to bestow glory upon it.

ذا هو طرفُ العزِّ إنسانه

وذاكَ راحُ البرِّ يمناها

This one is the edge of honor, his humaneness,

And that one is the spirit of righteousness, its prosperity.

أتى ارتقاب الحجّ عاماً به

مكثهما تلقى مصلاّها

The anticipation of the pilgrimage came upon it one year

Into their stay, receiving its prayers.

فأرّخنَّه فرحاً معجباً

في أشطرٍ أحمدت رؤياها

So I recorded it joyfully, marveling,

In verses that its vision has praised.

هاك التقِ البشرَ لها مطلعا

ناشٍ هناهُ وقت أنشاها

Flourishing, at the time of its inception.

Behold, inaugurate it in full bloom,

ألا اجلونها مزهراً وافتتحْ

بشرى بروج الجود بشراها

The constellations of generosity herald good tidings.
