حُبيتَ ثوابَ الصوم يا ابنَ الأكارم

وأصبحتَ عيد العيد يا خير حاكم

وأصبحتَ عيد العيد يا خير حاكم

You have been granted the reward of fasting, O son of noble men.

You loved the reward of fasting, O son of the generous

And you have become the festival’s own festival, O best of rulers.

And you became the feast of feasts, O best ruler

فلا زالت الأيام تدعوك عيدها

فلا زالت الأيام تدعوك عيدها

وتغنيك عما فات منها بقادم

وتغنيك عما فات منها بقادم

So may the days never cease to call you their festival,

So the days continued to call you their feast

And compensate you with days to come for those that have passed.

And sing of what is to come after them

ولا زلت تعطي كل صومٍ زكاته

ولا زلت تعطي كل صومٍ زكاته

بإنصاف مظلومٍ وإتلاف ظالم

بإنصاف مظلومٍ وإتلاف ظالم

And may you never cease to give each fast its due alms,

And you continued to give every fasting its alms

By doing justice to the wronged and destroying the oppressor.

By relieving the oppressed and destroying the unjust

فأنت لبيت العظم أعظم جنةً

فأنت لبيت العظم أعظم جنةً

تقي الناس من جور السنين الجوارم

تقي الناس من جور السنين الجوارم

For you are the greatest shield for the house of al-Azm,

For you are, for the Great House, the greatest paradise

Protecting the people from the tyranny of devastating years.

Protecting people from the injustice of violent years

وملجأ أوقافٍ تسامت وفاخرت

وملجأ أوقافٍ تسامت وفاخرت

بنعماك أوقاف الملوك الخضارم

بنعماك أوقاف الملوك الخضارم

And a refuge for endowments that have risen high and vied in glory,

And a refuge of endowments, lofty and magnificent

Through your bounty, with the endowments of munificent kings.

With your blessings, endowments of great kings

وأحزم مولىً قلت فيه مؤرخاً

وأحزم مولىً قلت فيه مؤرخاً

محمد حمدي العظم أحزم حازم

محمد حمدي العظم أحزم حازم

And the most prudent lord, of whom I said in a chronogram:

And I determined a master about whom I said, recording history

Muhammad Hamdi al-Azm is the most prudent of prudent men.

Mohammed Hamdi Al-Azm, most determined, wisest
