لشمس وبدرٍ هلالٌ بدا

سماء المعالي به تشرفُ

The sun and a crescent moon appeared,

Gracing the sublime sky above,

تولد من خير أهل الهدى

بسيما محياه ذا يعرف

Born of the best of righteous folk

His beautiful life we know and love,

إلى الأنس حقا لهُ نسبة

وذلك معنى به يوصف

Truly akin to humankind at heart

That meaning does his name evoke

فبشر اباه بتوفيقه

وارخ غلام الهدى يوسف

So congratulate his father on his guidance

And record: Joseph, son of light.
