Joy to the days of time—their lawful ones,

Congratulations to the days of time, its permitted joys,

with their permitted span—and to the coming of Muharram,

Its unbounded pleasures, and forbidden unions.

Your presence illuminates resolute minds, effective arms,

In giving, you surpass the bounty of rain-laden clouds,

You surpass the yields of vintages in bounty,

and surpass the edge of the Mashrafi sword that cuts clean through.

And exceed the level of the exalted determined.

And I hope for construction from you in peace and war,

Valiant Adud al-Din's piety, like his generosity,

You protect the pillar of religion like his generosity,

throughout all time is never confined to a season.

Throughout time not limited to a season.

So Rajab sees no greater devotion from him,

So neither is Rajab in devotion an excess,

nor does drought guide him to generosity.

Nor does the occasion prompt his generosity.

Rather, to God in every circumstance

But to God in every state he is obedient,

he is obedient, and gives to all, wealthy and destitute alike.

Bestowing every fruit and barrenness.
