أهنِّيكَ يَا عِيدَ الرَّغائِبِ عيدا

تَلَقَّاكَ بِاسمٍ صادقٍ لِتَعُودَا

I congratulate you, O Festival of Benevolence, a festival

That is welcomed with a true name so it may return

كنُعماك فينا فاتِحاً ومُتمِّماً

وجُهدِكَ فينا مُبدِئاً ومُعِيدا

Your favors upon us open and complete

And your efforts among us initiating and repeating

فأعطاكَ بالعَهدِ الكريمِ مَوَاثِقاً

وبالنصر فِي طُولِ البقاءِ عهودا

So it has given you with the generous covenant securities

And with victory in long survival promises

وقد مَلأَ الأيَّامَ منك مَحاسِناً

وآفاقَها العليا إليكَ سُعودا

And it has filled the days from you with virtues

And its sublime horizons to you exaltations

وحلّاكَ عِقدَ المَكرُمَاتِ مُنَظَّماً

وأَلبَستَهُ ثوبَ السرورِ جديدا

It adorned you with the knot of honors organized

And clothed it with the garment of joy anew

وقد أشرقَت منكَ المُصَلَّى بغرَّةٍ

يظلُّ لَهَا وجهُ الصباحِ حَسودا

And brightness has shone from you in the place of prayer suddenly

Whose face the morning will remain envious of

أضاءَت بنورِ الحقِّ والعدلِ والنُّهى

فجاءَتكَ أحرارُ الرِّجالِ عَبيدا

It illuminated with the light of truth, justice and deterrence

So the free men came to you as servants

سَجَدتَ لربِّ العرشِ ديناً وطاعةً

فَخَرَّتْ إليكَ النائباتُ سُجودا

You prostrated to the Lord of the Throne in religion and obedience

So the deputies fell before you in prostration

ومَدَّ إليك الناظرونَ نواظِراً

أقامَتْ بإخلاصِ القلوبِ شُهودا

And the observers stretched their sights to you

Which established with the sincerity of hearts as witnesses

فَمَلَّأْتَها هَدياً وبِرّاً وسُودَداً

وبأساً عَلَى أعدائِهنَّ وجُودا

So you filled it with guidance, righteousness and intimacy

And might against their enemies and generosity

وأعلامَ عِزٍّ أحدَقتْ بمكارِمٍ

فواتخ عقبانٍ حَمَلْنَ أُسودَا

And the flags of honor glared with virtues

Like the tails of eagles carrying the black

كأَنَّ نَدى يُمناكَ مِمَّا تجودُها

كساها من الرَّوضِ النَّضِيدِ بُرُودا

As if the dew of your prosperity which it grants forth

Adorned it from the verdant garden with coolness

وقد طَلَعَ الدِّيباجُ والوشيُ فَوقَها

حَدَائِقَ زَهرٍ فِي الغصونِ نَضِيدا

And silk and satin has emerged above it

Gardens of flowers on the branches, green

وكم لَبِستْ منه عِداكَ حِدادَها

إذا لَبِسُوا فوقَ السُّروجِ حَديدا

And how much has it worn of your armor its mourning

When they wear over the saddles iron

وكم مَلؤُوا الأرضَ الفضاءَ حَوَافِراً

وجَوَّ السَّماء قَسطَلاً وبُنُودا

And how much they filled the vast earth with hooves

And the sky's horizon with spears and standards

وبِيضاً ردَدْنَ الليلَ أبيضَ مُشرقاً

علينا وأيَّامَ المعانِدِ سُودا

And white they returned the night shining white upon us

And the days of the defiant black

وزُرقاً من الخطِّيِّ أوقدها الوغى

فأضحَتْ لَهَا غُلبُ الرِّقابِ وَقُودا

And blue which the battle ignited

So the subjugation of necks became its firewood

مَساعٍ رَعَينَ الملكَ حَتَّى تَلأَلأَت

قلائِدَ فِي لَبَّاتِهِ وعُقودا

Thriving which the kingdom grazed until it glittered

Necklaces in its jaws and knots

فَلَو لَمْ تُشَيِّعكَ الجنودُ إلى العِدى

لأضحى لَكَ النصرُ العزيزُ جُنودا

So if the soldiers did not escort you to the animosity

Victory would have become for you the mighty soldiers

فلا زِلتَ للإسلامِ سَيفاً مُحامِياً

وصِنوُكَ رُكناً للثُغورِ شَديدا

So you always remained for Islam a protecting sword

And your assistance a pillar for the great conquests

تُنادِمُهُ كأسَ الوفاءِ فإن غَدَا

بعيداً فما مثواهُ مِنكَ بَعِيدا

It entertains it with the cup of loyalty so if it goes

Far away, still its dwelling is not far from you

فَمُلِّيتُما نُصحاً يعودُ بغبطَةٍ

وألهِمتُما حَمدا يقودُ مَزيدا

So I advised thoroughly, returning with happiness

And inspired extensive praise that leads to more
