1. تَهنَّأ يا عَليُّ بِحُسن بَدرٍ

    بَدا كَالشَمس في أَرجاء مَصرِ

    Rejoice, O Ali, in the beauty of a full moon

    That has appeared like the sun throughout Egypt.

  2. تَهنأ يا عليّ بِخَير نجلٍ

    كَريم الأَصل جاءَ بِكُل بشر

    Rejoice, O Ali, in the finest of sons,

    Noble in lineage, who has come with every joy.

  3. تَهنأ يا عَلي وَقُم فَأرخ

    أَتى مَحمود في صفر ليسر

    Rejoice, O Ali, and rise, then record the date:

    Mahmoud has come in Safar, bringing good fortune.
