1. هناكُمْ قدومُ العام وابتسمتْ لكم

    ثغور الأماني عن بُلوغِ المَطالِبِ

    May the year's arrival bring you joy, and may there smile for you

    the mouths of hopes, revealing the fulfillment of desires.

  2. ولا بَرِحتْكم عزَّةٌ قَعْسَريَّةٌ

    تُباري صدور المُرهفات القَواضِب

    And may unyielding might never leave you,

    rivaling the points of keen, cleaving swords,

  3. تصونُ عن الأرزاء نفس مُحمَّدٍ

    وتحْمي حماهُ من طُروق النَّوائب

    shielding Muḥammad's life from calamities,

    and guarding his domain against misfortunes that come by night.

  4. فمِنْ عضدُ الدين النَّوالُ لُممْلقٍ

    وإِنْ جارَ خطب فالوفاءُ لصاحب

    For from ʿAḍud al-Dīn comes bounty for the destitute,

    and if misfortune oppresses, then loyalty for a friend.

  5. لبيقُ الغِنى غمْرُ السَّجايا مشمِّرٌ

    إلى الهول بَذَّالُ النَّدى والرغائب

    Gracious in wealth, abundant in virtues, girding himself

    to face terror, lavish with bounty and prized gifts.

  6. حَوى الحمد والعلْياء بين مكاسبٍ

    مُكرَّمة المَسْعى وبين مناسِبِ

    He has won praise and eminence both through achievements

    honorable in their pursuit, and through ancestry.

  7. فنجرٌ يباري مطلعَ الشمس بالضحى

    وسعْيٌ أريجُ الذِّكر جمُّ المَناقب

    Thus his lineage rivals the rising sun in the morning,

    and his striving is fragrant in renown, rich in virtues.

  8. ونِعْمَ مُناخُ الطَّارقين عَشيَّةً

    إذا أخمد الشَّفَّانُ نارَ المَراقِبِ

    And what a fine resting place for visitors at dusk,

    when the cold, damp wind quenches the watchfires.

  9. هنالك يقْري الضيف قبل ارْتِفاقِهِ

    ويولي النَّعيمَ قبل حلِّ الحقائب

    There he feeds the guest before he settles at ease,

    and grants him comfort before the saddlebags are untied.

  10. فدامَ مُطاعَ الأمْر ما ذرَّ شارِقٌ

    بأفْقٍ وما خَبَّ السَّرابُ براكب

    So may his commands remain obeyed as long as the sun rises

    on a horizon, and as long as the mirage trots along with a rider.
