Sol 6.1

  1. للموسم النَبويّ جاء سَعيدُ

    ملك الوَرى بِالعز فَهوَ سَعيدُ

    For the Prophet’s festival, Saʿid came.

    He ruled mankind with glory, and so he is fortunate.

  2. وَبِهِ تشرَّف في رَبيعٍ مَنزلٌ

    بِالأَزبَكية عَودُه مَحمود

    And through him, in Rabiʿ, a house was honored,

    in al-Azbakiyya; his return is praiseworthy.

  3. وَالسَيد البكريُّ فازَ بنعمةٍ

    مِنهُ عَليها دائِماً مَحسود

    And Sayyid al-Bakri gained a favor

    from him, for which he is always envied.

  4. وَالمُرشِدون استبشروا بزيارة

    فيها لِأَبناء السُلوك سُعود

    And the spiritual guides rejoiced at a visit

    that holds good fortune for the sons of the spiritual path.

  5. وَهُناك حَول ركابه اِنتَشَرَت لَهُم

    في مصره فَوق الرؤس بُنود

    And there, around his mount, were unfurled for them

    in his Egypt, above their heads, banners.

  6. وَسَعوا إِلى عَليائه بِسكينة

    وَأَجاد شَيخٌ في الثَنا وَمُريد

    And they approached his exalted presence with serenity,

    and a sheikh and a disciple excelled in praise.

  7. وَدَعا له بِبَقائه مَع شبله

    في الملك مِنهُم سادةٌ وَعَبيد

    And they prayed that he might remain, with his lion-cub,

    in sovereignty—lords and slaves among them.

  8. وَعَلى دَعائهم الرَعيةُ أَمّنت

    وَقَد اِستجاب دُعاهمُ المَعبود

    And the subjects said “Amen” to their prayers,

    and the Worshipped One has indeed answered their prayers.

  9. لا زالَ هَذا المَوسم السامي لَهُ

    بِاليُمن وَالعُمر المَديد يَعود

    May this lofty festival continue for him,

    returning with good fortune and long life,

  10. ما هام مَجدي في مَدائحه الَّتي

    لَم يُحصِها بَينَ الأَنام مُجيد

    so long as Majdi loses himself in praises of him, which

    no master poet among mankind has enumerated,

  11. أَو قال عِندَ قُدومه بُشراك قَد

    أَرّخته حضر العَزيز سَعيد

    or says upon his arrival, “Glad tidings to you! I have

    dated it: ‘The mighty Saʿid has arrived.’”
