1. Oh say to Saad of the kingdom, may his glory last,
And the Bounteous Lord may show favor to His servant,

2. Look again towards me, O Saad, for the welfare of the land,
Will not cease from the outlook of Saad,

3. And live on for me and for the noble and valor and dew,
For the faith and the world and the kingdom and glory,

4. You have attained from this world, though the enemy dislikes it,
Ranks you have reached, ascending in excellence,

5. And greater than what you have attained is what you will attain
Of honor, for thousands begin with one.
