1. May joy be yours for the loftiness of rank bestowed upon you,

    and may you remain contented of eye, serene of heart.

  2. Glad tidings of a realm upon whose horizon you have risen,

    a crescent whose course leads toward the full moon’s station.

  3. You succeeded your well-pleasing father in the finest succession,

    and took up God’s charge, obedient to the command.

  4. And when the Chosen One passed away, who arose after him

    to gather the Faith’s scattered ranks but Abu Bakr?

  5. You are a blessing to Islam and to its people;

    may you ever abide in enduring felicity and victory.

Sol 5.6
