    unveiled the dawning of a happy feast.

  3. جاءَ بِعيد الفِطر حَتّى لَقَد

    مَولده كانَ لَنا خَير عيد

    The two feasts coincided, yet

    his birth was for us the best feast.

    أرّخ بَهاء بِالغلام السَعيد

    So what a happy feast it was, encompassing—

    record the date—splendor through the fortunate boy!
