1. للعِيدِ في كلِّ عامٍ

    يومٌ يُعيدُ سَنَاه

    Each year, the feast has

    a day that renews its radiance.

  2. وأنتَ في كلّ يومٍ

    عيدٌ يَلُوحُ عُلاه

    And you, on every day,

    are a feast whose glory shines.

  3. ونعمةٌ وسُعودٌ

    للمُعْتَفين وجَاه

    And a blessing and good fortune,

    and honor for those seeking bounty.

  4. يا مَنْ تُصَلِّي المعالي

    إليه حين تراه

    O one to whom lofty virtues pray,

    whenever they behold him;

  5. ومن يَبِرُّ اليتامى

    من كلّ خَلْقٍ سواه

    and who is kind to the orphans

    among all creation, except him?

  6. لو كان للفضل يوماً

    مُنىً لكنتَ مُناه

    If excellence ever had

    wishes, you would be all it wished for.

  7. لأنّ منك استعار الزْ

    زَمانُ حُسْنَ حُلاَه

    For Time has borrowed from you

    the beauty of its adornments.

  8. فأنتَ شمسُ ضُحَاه

    وأنت بَدْرُ دُجَاه

    So you are the sun of its morning,

    and you are the full moon of its darkness.

  9. كفَّاك في كل سِلْمٍ

    سَحابُ صَوْبِ نَداه

    Your two hands, in every time of peace,

    are clouds pouring down its bounty.

  10. وحُسْنُ رأيك في الحر

    بِ سيفُه وقَناه

    And your sound judgment in war

    is its sword and its spears.

  11. فأنت يُمْنَى يديه

    وأنت أمضى ظُباه

    So you are its right hand,

    and you are the keenest of its blades.

  12. فاسلَمْ لسعدك يا مَنْ

    يُديم نَحْسَ عِدَاه

    So remain safe in your good fortune, O you

    who perpetuate your enemies' misfortune.
