I saw no glory like Islam for a nation,

فلم أر كالإسلام عزا لأمة

1. I saw no glory like Islam for a nation,
Nor folk like the guests of Araash hosting a throng,

١. فَلَم أَرَ كَالإِسلامِ عِزّاً لِأُمَّةٍ
وَلا مِثلَ أَضيافِ الأَراشِيِّ مَعشَراً

2. A prophet, a truthful one, and champion of a nation,
And the best of Eve's daughters a branch and mainstay.

٢. نَبِيٌّ وَصِدّيقٌ وَفاروقُ أُمَّةٍ
وَخَيرُ بَني حَوّاءَ فَرعاً وَعُنصُرا

3. They came at the appointed time and destined decree,
And God's decree was a predetermined destiny,

٣. فَوافَوا لِميقاتٍ وَقَدرِ قَضِيَّةٍ
وَكانَ قَضاءُ اللَهِ قَدراً مُقَدَّرا

4. To a Najdi man who vies in his generosity
With the suns of dawn, in bounty, glory and pride.

٤. إِلى رَجُلٍ نَجدٍ يُباري بِجودِهِ
شُموسَ الضُحى جوداً وَمَجداً وَمَفخَرا

5. And the finest of God's creation in every raid,
When men don armor and coats of mail fastened,

٥. وَفارِسِ خَلقِ اللَهِ في كُلِّ غارَةٍ
إِذا لَبِسَ القَومُ الحَديدَ المُسَمَّرا

6. He ransomed and sustained life, then brought them near,
Only to free them while sleek and well fed.

٦. فَفَدّى وَحَيّا ثُمَّ أَدنى قِراهُمُ
فَلَم يَقرِهِم إِلّا سَميناً مُتَمَّرا
