1. هنتك أمير المؤمنين سعادةٌ

    وإقبالُ عِزّ جاء بالنُّجح مقرونَا

    May happiness gladden you, Commander of the Faithful,

    and the advent of glory, coming coupled with success.

  2. أتاك به حَوْلٌ سعيدٌ مبشِّرٌ

    بأنّك فيه تملِك الهندَ والصِّينا

    A happy year has brought it to you, bearing glad tidings

    that in it you will rule India and China,

  3. وتعلو ملوكَ الأرضِ طُرّاً مظفَّراً

    بعزّ يُعزُّ الملكَ سَيفُك والدِّنيا

    and rise above all the kings of the earth, triumphant,

    with might through which your sword strengthens kingship and the world.

  4. تفاءلتُ بالسَّبْعِين أَنَّك خالدٌ

    مُبقيًّ على الأَيّام والمُلك سَبْعينا

    I took seventy as a good omen that you would live forever,

    preserved through the days and in kingship for seventy years.

  5. ولو كان لي حُكْمٌ لأَهديتُ صِحَّتي

    إليكَ وعمري ثُمَّ ما كنتُ مغبونا

    And if I had the power, I would give my health

    to you, and my lifespan; then I would not be at a loss.

  6. فلا زال من يَنوي لك السوءَ ناقصاً

    يَروحُ ويغَدو راغِم الأَنفِ مَلعْونا

    So may whoever intends you harm remain diminished,

    going evening and morning, his nose in the dust, accursed.

  7. وصلَّى عليك اللهُ يا بنَ نبِيّهِ

    وزادك مِن نُعماهُ آمينَ آمينا

    And may God bless you, O son of His Prophet,

    and grant you more of His bounty. Amen, amen.
