1. هُنِّئْتَ يَا بَدْرَ الكَمَالِ أهِلّة

    طَلَعَتْ بِأسْعَد حَالَةٍ وَمَآبِ

    Congratulations, O full moon of perfection, on crescent moons

    That have risen in the most auspicious state and with the happiest outcome.

  2. اثْنَانِ ثُمّ ابْنَان مِنْكَ تَفَرَّعَا

    في أطْهرِ الأحْسَابِ والأنْسَابِ

    Two—and two sons at that—who have sprung from you

    In the purest ancestral honor and lineage.

  3. وَهلالُ هَذا الشّهْرِ ثَالِثُها الذي

    أبْدَى شهَاباً مِنْهُمَا لِشهَابِ

    And this month's crescent is their third, which

    Revealed a shooting star from them both for Shihab.

  4. لا زَالت الأيّامُ وَاهِبَةَ المُنى

    مِنْ مُنْتَدَاك لِمفضَلٍ وَهّابِ

    May the days never cease granting wishes

    From your assembly to a favored, lavish giver.
