The lights of my eyes

Jassim Taqui

My blessed son, the lights of my eyes,

Joy overwhelms me, no worries, no cries,

Happy birthday, blessed in every way,

May all forces in the globe listen to you, obey,

May all weariness go way in utter dismay,

May your manly prime blossom all day,

Blessed by heaven powers, by He,

The giver of everything, humanity,

To live deep into your good heart,

that bloomed and thrived from the start,

May God, give you His light, a strong pen,

To sharpen you, making you born again,

May He give you all His traits, attributes,

In such a way that no one could dispute,

May He erases all faults, would, pardon, forgive,

Make you, tall, with pride, will always live.
