ليَهْنِ لَكَ العيدُ الَّذِي بِكَ يَهْنِينا

سلاماً وإِسلاماً وأَمناً وتأْمِينا

May this Eid in which you bring us joy, bring you joy

Peace, submission, safety, and assurance

ولا أُعْدِمَتْ أَسماؤُكُمُ وسماؤكُمْ

نجومَ السُّعودِ والطُّيُورَ الميامِينا

May your names and your heavens

The stars of glory and the circling falcons, never cease

بِمَنْ يَمُنَتْ أَيامُنا وتلأْلأَتْ

بنُور المُنى والمكْرُمَاتِ ليالينا

With whom our days shone and glittered

With the light of wishes and honored nights

دعانا وسقَّانا سِجالَ يمينِهِ

فسَقْياً لساقِينا ورعْياً لراعينا

He called us and quenched us with the palm of his right hand

A quenching for the quencher and pasturing for the shepherd

ومُلْكاً وتمْلِيكاً وفَلْجاً وغبطَةً

وعزّاً وإِعزازاً ونصراً وتمكينا

Sovereignty and empowerment, insight and happiness

Honor and honor, victory and enablement

دعاءٌ لمن عَزَّتْ بِهِ دعوةُ الهُدى

يقُولُ لَهُ الإِسلامُ آمِينَ آمينا

A prayer for the one by whom the call to guidance was honored

Islam says to him, amen, amen

فتىً مَلَكَ الدنيا فَمَلَّكَنا بِهَا

وجاهدَ عنَّا ينصُرُ المُلْكَ والدينا

A young man who ruled the world and empowered us with it

And fought for us, victorious over kingdom and religion

فقلَّدَ أَعناقَ الأُسودِ أَساوِداً

وحلَّى أَكُفَّ الدَّارِعينَ ثعابينا

So he collared the necks of lions with more lions

And adorned the palms of warriors with snakes

وخلَّى القصورَ البيضَ والبِيضَ كالدُّمى

لِبِيضٍ يُكَشِّفْنَ العَمى ويُجَلِّينا

And left the white palaces and eggs like statues

For the whites who uncover blindness and clarify for us

إِذَا مَا كساها من دماءِ عُدَاتِهِ

سَلَبْنَ هواهُ الغيدَ والخُرَّدَ العِينا

When he clothed them in the blood of his enemies

Their love stripped the hyena and the blinking eye

وعطَّلَ أَشجارَ البساتينِ واكْتفى

بمُشْتَجِرِ الأَرماحِ منها بساتينا

And neglected the trees of orchards, content

With the clashing forests of spears for our orchards

ليَسْتَفْتِحَ الوردَ الجنيَّ من الطُّلى

ويَشْتَمَّ أرواحَ العُداةِ رياحينا

To conquer the rose garden from the aroma

And smell the spirits of the enemies like breezes

ويَسْمَعَ من وَقْعِ القَنا فِي نحورِها

حمائِمَ فِي أَغْصانِها وشَفانِينا

And hear from the falling of spears in their necks

The doves in their branches and our singing

يسيرٌ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَسيرَ إِذَا الدُّجى

كسا بالجِلالِ البيضِ أَفْراسَهُ الجُونا

It is easy for him to march when night falls

Dressed in the majestic white, his steeds dressed in black

سرى ليلَ كانونَينِ لَمْ يَدَّخِرْ لَهُ

سوى الجَوِّ كِنَّاً والنجومِ كوانينا

He marched on a December night, keeping for him

Nothing but air as shelter and stars as our lamps

قريبٌ وَمَا أَدناهُ من صارِخِ الوغى

بعيدٌ وَمَا أَدْنى لَهُ صوتَ داعِينا

Near is he who cries aloud in the fray

Far is the one whose voice calls us

وإِن شئتَ لَمْ تعدمْكَ غُرَّةُ وجهِهِ

أَناسِيَّ من أَحداقِنا ومآقِينا

And if you wish, the delight of his face does not fail

To forget from our eyelids and waterways

ومثواهُ فِي الأَرواحِ وسطَ صدورِنا

ومجراهُ فِي الأَنفاسِ بَيْنَ تراقِينا

His dwelling is in the spirits in our breasts

And his course is in the breaths between our lungs

ونعم كفيلُ الشَّمْسِ حاجِبُها الَّذِي

يشيِّعُنا فِيهَا ويَخْلُفُها فينا

Blessed is the confidant of the sun, her eyebrow

Who bids us farewell in her and follows after her through us

يطالعنا فِي نورِها فيعُمُّنا

ويسمو لَنَا فِي شِبْهِهَا فَيُسَلِّيِنا

She appears to us in her light, blanketing us

And climbs for us in her likeness, comforting us

وصدَّقَ فينا ظَنَّها حينَ صدَّقَتْ

سحابُ نداهُ مَا النفوسُ تُمَنِّينا

And she was true to us in her presumption when

The clouds of his brilliance spoke what our souls desire

وَقَدْ أَثمرَتْ فينا يداهُ بأَنْعُمٍ

تساقَطُ فِي أَفواهِنا قبلَ أَيدينا

And his hands have borne fruit in us with blessings

That fall in our mouths before our hands

وذكَّرَ منه الصومُ والفطرُ هَدْيَهُ

وجمعُ المصلَّى وابتهالُ المصلِّينا

The fast and the feast reminded us of his guidance

And gathering for prayer and the supplication of those praying

ومقعدُهُ فِي تاجِهِ وسريرِهِ

ليومِ السَّلامِ وازدحامِ المُحَيِّينا

His seat is in his crown and upon his throne

For the day of peace and the crowding of the greeters

فَمُلِّيتُمُوها آلَ يَحْيى تَحِيَّةً

تُحَيَّوْنَ بالملكِ التَّليدِ وتُحيُونَا

So we wished them - House of Yahya - a greeting

You are greeted by the inherited kingdom and greet us

وتُرْجَوْنَ للجُلَّى فنِعْمَ المُجَلُّونَا

وتُدْعَوْنَ للنُّعمى فنعمَ المُجِيبونا

And you are hoped for clarity, so excellent are those who make clear

And you are called to bounty, so excellent are those who respond

تُشَرِّدُ آفاقُ البلادِ فتُؤْوونا

وتَجْرَحُ أَيدِي النائِباتِ فتَأْسُونا

The horizons of the land expel us, so you shelter us

The hands of misfortune wound us, so you heal us

تُدَاوونَ من ريبِ الزمانِ فتَشْفَوْنا

وتسقُونَ من كَأْسِ الحياةِ فتُرْوونا

You cure us from the doubt of time, so you heal us

And you quench us from the cup of life, so you water us

حُفاةُ المحزِّ فِي عظامِ عُدَاتِكُمْ

ولكِنْ عَلَى الإِسلامِ هَيْنُونَ لَيْنُونا

Barefoot in the shredded garments of your enemies

But gentle towards Islam, they are humbled, humbled

فلَوْ لَمْ تَلُونا مالِكينَ لكنتُمُ

بأَخْلاقِكُم ساداتنا وموالينا

For if you did not rule us, you would be

By your morals, our masters and patrons

ولم لَمْ نكُنْ فِي حمدِكم كَيْفَ شئتُمُ

لكنتُمْ لَنَا فِي الصَّفْحِ عنَّا كَمَا شِينا

And how could we not praise you however you wished

You would be for us in pardon as we wished

وحُبُّكُمُ فِي اللهِ أَزكى فعالنا

وطاعتكم فِي اللهِ أَعلى مساعينا

And loving you for God is the most virtuous of our deeds

And obeying you for God is the highest of our efforts
