أَيَحْيَى سَقَى حَيْثُ لُحْتَ الْحَيَا

فَنِعْمَ الشِّعَابُ وَنِعْمَ الْوُكُونْ

O Yahya, you gave drink where life was revived,

So excellent is the valley and excellent are the dwellings.

وَحَيَّ يَرَاعُكَ مِنْ آيَةٍ

فَقَدْ حَرَّكَ الْقَوْمَ بَعْدَ السُّكُونْ

And the signs that watch over you,

Stirred the people after stillness.

دَعَوْتَ لِخِدْمَةِ مُوسَى عَصَاهُ

فَجَاءَتْ تَلقَّفُ مَا يَأَفِكُونْ

You called to serve Moses his staff,

It came to take what they untie.

فَأَذْعَنَ مَنْ يَدَّعِي السِّحْرَ رَغْماً

وَأَسْلَمَ من أَجْلِهَا المُشْرِكُونَ

So he who claims sorcery submitted unwillingly,

And the idolaters surrendered because of it.

وَسَاعَدَكَ السَّعْدُ فِيمَا أرَدْتَ

فَكَانَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونْ

Good fortune assisted you in what you wanted,

So it was as it should be.
