زالَ العَنا بِتَباشير المنى وَمَضى

وَبارق السَعد في أُفق الهَنا وَمَضا

The hardships have departed with the signs of wishes, and passed away,

And the light of joy appeared in the horizon of delight and vanished.

وَفي سَما اليمنِ مِصباح السُرور بَدا

حَتّى اِستَنار سنا إشراقه وأضا

In the sky of Yemen a lamp of joy emerged,

Until its radiance illuminated our years and gave light.

يا حُسن مَطلع مِصباح لِبهجَتِهِ

مِنهُ اِستَعار سَناه البَدر وَاِقتَرَضا

O beauty of the rising lamp in its happiness!

The full moon borrowed its brilliance from it, and took on loan.

مَولود عزٍّ وَإقبال يَكون لَهُ ال

عُمر المَديد مِن الباري بِكُلّ رضى

A birth of honor and prosperity, for whom will be

A long life of contentment from the Creator, with all pleasure.

قَضى لَنا اللَّه بِالأَفراح فاِنبعثت

لَنا الأَماني بِما فيهِ الإله قضى

God has decreed for us this joy, so hopes were aroused in us,

With what God ordained, containing this deity.

فيا أَباه بِهِ البُشرى أَتَتك فطب

نَفساً وَقرَّ بِهِ عَيناً وَنل غَرَضا

So O father, it brought you good news, so refresh

A soul, and delight an eye, and attain a purpose.

فَسَوف يَنمو بِعَون اللَه جَوهره

حَظّاً وَيحرس حَتّى لا يرى عَرضا

He will grow, God willing, in his essence,

In fortune, and be guarded from seeing disgrace.

وَيا بَشير التَهاني إِن حَجَجتَ إِلى ال

بيت المحرّم إيفاءاً لِما فَرَضا

O you who bring congratulations, when you go on Hajj to

The Sacred House, fulfilling what is ordained.

فَاِنهَض بِكُلّ سُرورٍ بَيننا نشرت

أَعلامه لِلمَلا يا فَوز من نَهضا

Set out among us with all joy, under flags

That signify success for the exemplar you emulated.

وَاِمنَح محمّد منّي الودّ واِهد لَهُ

محض التَهاني وَقُل يا خَير من محضا

And grant from me affection to Muhammed, and give him

Sincere congratulations, and say: O best of those who walked purely,

أَبشر بِخَير هناً آت يؤرّخه

مِصباح سَعد وَفي أَوج الهَناء أَضا

Receive good news of joy to come, dated by

A lamp of bliss, at the peak of delight it gave light.
