1. طلعةٌ من ضياء عبد الحميد

    هي أبهى من الصباح الجديد

    A countenance from the radiance of Abd al-Hamid,

    More resplendent than the new morning.

  2. طلعةٌ من لطائفٍ وفنونٍ

    خلتُها من بدائعي في قصيدي

    A countenance of delicate charms and arts,

    I thought it one of my wondrous creations in my verse.

  3. يوم ميلاده أغرُّ سعيدٌ

    إنه طلعة الزمان السعيد

    The day of his birth is radiant and happy;

    Indeed, he is the countenance of a happy age.

  4. من سنا حسنه ونور سناه

    صدحت لوعتي بهذا النشيد

    From the glow of his beauty and the light of his radiance,

    My anguish sang out with this song.

  5. كدتُ أشكو إليه شوقي إليه

    فتعوذتُ بالحميد المجيد

    I almost complained to him of my longing for him,

    So I sought refuge in the Praiseworthy, the Glorious.
