1. ضَحكت ثُغورٌ في رِياض أَقاحِ

    لِطُلوع شَمس سَعادة وَنَجاحِ

    Mouths smiled in gardens of daisies,

    At the rising of a sun of happiness and success.

  2. وَالخَير في صفر بمصر لَقَد سَعى

    نَحوي وَلازمني بِغَير براح

    And good fortune, in Safar in Egypt, indeed hastened

    Toward me and stayed with me without departing.

  3. وَبِأَمس تاسعه لِوَضع لَبيبة

    مِن وَجهِها قَد لاحَ نُور صَباح

    And yesterday, its ninth day, at Labiba's birth,

    The light of morning shone forth from her face.

  4. فَاللَه يَحفظها وَيَجعل كَعبها

    بِالسَعد مَقروناً وَكُلِّ فَلاح

    So may God protect her and make her lot

    Joined to good fortune and every success.

  5. ما قُلت في يَوم السُعود مُؤرِّخاً

    طلعت لَبيبة في سَماء صَلاح

    What I said on the day of good fortune, recording its date:

    “Labiba rose in a sky of righteousness.”
