1. هَنيئاً بِشَهرِ الصومِ لِلمَلِكِ الَّذي

    لَهُ نِعَمٌ مَعروفُها لَيسَ يُنكَرُ

    Felicitations on the month of fasting to the king who

    has favors whose goodness cannot be denied.

  2. فَمٌ عَن أَحاديثِ المَحارِمِ صائِمٌ

    وَكَفٌّ بِإِسداءِ المَكارِمِ مُفطِرُ

    A mouth that fasts from talk of forbidden things,

    and a hand that breaks its fast by bestowing noble favors.

  3. يُسافِرُ مِنهِ الذِكرُ وَهوَ مُتَمَّمٌ

    وَكُلُّ مُقيمٍ في الثَناءِ مُقَصِّرُ

    His renown travels forth from him, yet is complete,

    and everyone who stays falls short in praise.

  4. وَأَعجَبُ مِن صَومِ الأَنامِ بِرَبعِهِ

    وَقَد غَمَرَتهُم مِن أَياديهِ أَبحُرُ

    And I marvel at the people's fasting in his abode,

    when seas of his bounty have engulfed them.
