The face of time that I used to see,
Smiling, and Eid all in all, blessings.

The accession today its visions revealed,
And requited, on this day we send congratulations.

To a ruler who, if we credit his name,
To the number of his glories, beyond words.

Sheikh Zayed, who has on us bestowed,
Generosity, charity, protection and hopes.

For his country, countless his gifts,
Continuous like rain, first and last.

If without him, time with its vicissitudes,
Would in seconds change for us all things.

Unsheathed against the treachery of night his swords,
Until stemmed the sands of time.

And for his country, oh how vigilant his care,
Live in luxury his people, secure.

His reign abundant, we have harvested fruits,
In paradise, who imagined?

These, our blessings, with love composed,
For Sheikh Zayed, lover of precious meanings., lover of precious meanings.
