1. O image of pleasing beauty,
Glory to its Creator, its Shaper,

2. Who destined within it generosity and kindness,
Wondrous things from its design.

3. One whose mention is Abu Hassan
Reveals through his beauty the excellence of its essence.

4. When kings boast from Yemen,
You, Dhahal, are the eye of its pride.

5. You inherited through the Azd and kings
Its loftiness made long-lasting by my aged ancestor.

6. You have succeeded, O Dhahal, in your inheritance
The best of its shares in abundance.

7. You are the masters of glory through whom
Pride is taken in its absence and presence.

8. In every land you have a herald of dew
Who seeks your hand atop its pulpit.

9. And over the necks of creation you have favors
The likes of which no ears have heard rejected.

10. And you, O Dhahal, are an example in glory,
As are its riders and its knights.

11. So remain, you and your noble children together,
For the lifetime and months of this world.
