1. سَلِمتَ مِن كُلِّ أَلَم

    وَدُمتَ مَوفورَ النِعَم

    May you be safe from every pain,

    And remain rich in blessings,

  2. في صِحَّةٍ لا يَنتَهي

    شَبابُها إِلى هَرَم

    In health that never lets

    Its youth give way to old age.

  3. يَحيا بِكَ الجودُ كَما

    يَموتُ يا يَحيى العَدَم

    Through you generosity lives, just as

    Poverty dies, O Yahya.

  4. وَبَعدَ ذا قُل لِيَ ما

    كانَ مِنَ الأَمرِ وَتَم

    And after this, tell me what

    Happened in the matter, and how it ended.
