1. I am Al-Walid, son of Abu Al-'Abbas, I have known
The heights of glory, how far my generosity and daring have extended

2. I stand at the highest peak when they trace lineage
Peer of my uncles and cousins in glory

3. With pillars not to be reached, my glory built for me
On the minarets of radiant signs and flags

4. I was created from the essence of high spirit, they knew
In an imposing, lofty, most honoured stature

5. Of difficult ambition, his star rising to rival the stars
Ascending to the branch of towering, lofty glory
