The Imam is born…
O heavens, rejoice!
O earth, bedeck
Yourself and sing!
Today is the ‘id…
O daisies, open!
Diffuse your sweet
Fragrance and celebrate!
The clouds disperse…
O sun, irradiate!
Unveil your beauty and spread it abroad!
The sky is clear…
O lovers, come!
Prepare a feast for
His noble birthday!
