1. لَكَ البُشرى فَمولدك المُنيفُ

    لَهُ إقبالك الأَسنى حَليفُ

    Glad tidings to you, for your exalted birthday

    has your most radiant good fortune as its ally.

  2. وَمصرك في الدُعاء تَقول رَبي

    لي احفظه فَإِنَّكَ بي لَطيف

    And your Egypt says in prayer, “My Lord,

    preserve him for me, for You are kind to me.

  3. وَأَيده بِنصرك حَيث أَحيا

    رُسومي رَأيُ دَولتِهِ الحَصيف

    And strengthen him with Your victory, for restored to life

    were my traditions through his government's sound judgment.”

  4. وَخلد عيده ما قلت أَرخ

    سَعيد العَصر مَوسمه شَريف

    And what I said immortalized his festival: “Record the date:

    Sa‘id of the age—his festival is noble.”
