1. وليلةٍ قد وَلدَت بصبحها

    شمسُ عُلًى تشعُّ في سعودها

    And a night that gave birth at her dawn

    To a sun of glory, shining in her good fortune.

  2. سُرَّت بها أهل المعالي ولها

    أهدت بمهديٍّ سرور عيدها

    The people of high distinction were gladdened by her, and to her

    Offered, through Mahdi, the joy of her feast.

  3. قد طربَ الدهرُ غداة أرَّخوا

    فلتزدهي الليلة في مولودها

    Time rejoiced on the morning they recorded the date:

    So let the night glory in her newborn.
