وغدت به لا لوت روضة بان

Al-Amin rejoiced, and his joys blossomed.

Saad Al-Ameen's joy has blossomed,

And through him Lalut became a garden of bān trees.

And with it his abode became a flowery garden.

فبدا الهزار على حدائق أنسها

فبدا الهزار على حدائق أنسها

مترنما بغرائب الألحان

مترنما بغرائب الألحان

So the nightingale appeared over its gardens of delight,

Mirth appeared in the gardens of his companionship,

Warbling wondrous melodies,

Singing strange, wondrous melodies.

يبدي المسرة والتهاني مطربا

يبدي المسرة والتهاني مطربا

بعجيب عذب غنائه الأذنان

بعجيب عذب غنائه الأذنان

Displaying joy and congratulations, delighting

Expressing delight and congratulations, he sings

Both ears with the wondrous sweetness of its song.

With his sweet, gentle voice pleasing the ears.

وعلى موائد أنس شهم قد سما

وعلى موائد أنس شهم قد سما

دارت كؤوس في رياض ختان

دارت كؤوس في رياض ختان

And at the festive tables of a noble man who had risen high,

And around the tables of his companionship he soared,

Cups went round in gardens of circumcision festivities.

As cups circulated in youthful gardens.

نعم الختان ونعم أفراح غدا

نعم الختان ونعم أفراح غدا

فيها حسين منبع الإحسان

فيها حسين منبع الإحسان

How splendid the circumcision, how splendid the festivities—

What great youth and joyful days

In them Husayn became a fountain of generosity.

In which Hussein is the source of kindness,

وحميد قرة عين إنسان العلا

وحميد قرة عين إنسان العلا

صنو الحسين مظنة العرفان

صنو الحسين مظنة العرفان

And Hamid, the delight of the exalted man's eye,

And the beloved Hamid, solace of the eyes of mankind,

Brother to Husayn, a repository of knowledge.

Protector of Hussein, repository of perception.

فليهن دائرة الأمين سرورهم

فليهن دائرة الأمين سرورهم

وليحمدوا المولى بكل لسان

وليحمدوا المولى بكل لسان

So may their joy gladden al-Amin's circle,

So may their circle of joy persist for the Ameen,

And let them praise the Lord with every tongue.

And may they praise the Lord with every tongue.

وليقبلوا البشرى بكل بشاشه

وليقبلوا البشرى بكل بشاشه

من نخبة عدوا بألف عنان

من نخبة عدوا بألف عنان

And let them receive the good tidings with all cheerfulness

And may they welcome the good news joyfully,

From a chosen company who galloped with a thousand reins,

From the elite they counted by the thousand.

إذ جاملوهم في المسرة وامتطوا

إذ جاملوهم في المسرة وامتطوا

خيلا عتاقا من قضاء ثاني

خيلا عتاقا من قضاء ثاني

As they courteously shared their joy and mounted

When they were congenial in celebration and rode

Noble-bred horses from another district.

Noble steeds to fulfill another decree.

جازى الاله جميعهم خير الجزا

جازى الاله جميعهم خير الجزا

وأدام أنس الكل كل زمان

وأدام أنس الكل كل زمان

May God reward them all with the finest reward,

May God reward them all with the best reward,

And perpetuate everyone's joy for all time.

And perpetuate the companionship of all forever.

O Muhammad, say to happiness: welcome!

O Muhammad, bid the happiness welcome,

And rejoice in a rise in rank and a decoration.

And give glad tidings of promotion and decoration.

Whatever God wills comes to pass, and there are means

And manifestations in the most special place.

The frontier guard has triumphed, and he is the finest destroyer

The stationed one triumphs, and it is the best

Of the foes' heads, with an Indian-steel sword and spear-point.

That cares for the enemy with sword and lance.

You are al-Amin, the trusted one; through you the frontiers grew secure,

You are the trustee, through you the frontiers are secured,

And the foe came to taste a cup of humiliation.
