1. يَهني الأَميرَ بِشارَةٌ

    قَرَّت بِها عَينُ المَكارِم

    Glad tidings gladden the prince,

    At which the eye of noble deeds has rejoiced—

  2. أَعلى الوَرى شَرَفاً وَمَن

    قَد بَشَّروهُ بِخَيرِ قادِم

    The most exalted of mortals in honor, and the one

    Whom they have given tidings of the finest newcomer.

  3. إِنّي وَإِن كُنتُ المُشا

    رِكَ في الأُبُوَّةِ وَالمُساهِم

    Indeed, though I am a fellow

    Participant in fatherhood and a sharer,

  4. لَأَقولُ قَولاً لايُرَدُّ

    وَلا يُرى لي فيهِ لا إِم

    I shall surely say what cannot be refuted,

    And no one will be found to blame me for it:

  5. لِأَبي المَعالي في العُلا

    وَأَبي المَكارِمِ في المَكارِم

    For Abu al-Ma'ali in exalted rank,

    And Abu al-Makarim in noble deeds,

  6. بَيتٌ رَفيعٌ سَمكُهُ

    عالي الذَرى ثَبتُ الدَعائِم

    There is a house of lofty height,

    High in its summits, firm in its pillars.
