1. لِثَمانِ عَشرٍ مِن رَبيعِ مَولِدِ ال

    هادي البَشيرِ المُصطَفى مَولى التُقى

    On the eighteenth of Rabi‘, birth-month of the

    Guide, the bearer of glad tidings, the Chosen One, master of piety,

  2. لِعَلِي نورِ الدينِ صِهري قَد أَتى

    أَبهى غُلامٌ مَن بَراهُ لَهُ وَقى

    To Ali Nur al-Din, my in-law, there has come

    A most radiant boy—may his Creator preserve him for his father.

  3. تَتَوَسَّمُ الخَيراتُ في لَحَظاتِهِ

    وَتَزيدُهُ سِمَةَ السَعادَةِ رَونَقا

    Blessings read promise in his glances,

    And the mark of happiness adds to his splendor.

  4. وَمُحَمَّداً نوراً دَعى لِتَيمِنِ

    وَلِنِسبَةَ طَيا وَنَشراً شيقا

    And he named him Muhammad Nur for good fortune,

    And for kinship, in a charming folding and unfolding.

  5. وَلِذا وَذا قَد قُلتُ في تاريخِهِ

    نورٌ عَلى نورِ مُحَمَّدُ أَشرَقا

    And for this and that, I said to mark his birth:

    Light upon light—Muhammad has shone.
