1. بِكَ يا أَمين إِلى السعود قَد اِرتَقى

    نَجلٌ شَريف الأَصل مِن أَهل التُقى

    Through you, O Amin, to the auspicious stars has risen

    A son of noble lineage, one of the pious.

  2. نجل بَدا في حجة مَيمونة

    وَبِرَوض مَصرٍ غصنُه لَكَ أَورقا

    A son appeared in an auspicious year,

    And in Egypt's garden his branch put forth leaves for you.

  3. وَلَدى الولادة قُلت فيهِ مؤرخاً

    يا دَهر نُور محمد قَد أَشرَقا

    And at his birth I said of him, recording the date:

    O Time, the light of Muhammad has shone!
