1. The Caliphate's shadow remained outstretched,
Its pools were fresh, flowing water.

2. The glorious state, its forest is protected
By a lion whose growth made him a dark king.

3. The Commander of the Faithful built its foundations,
So its building was lofty, established branches.

4. The lives of the subjects in the pleasures of his justice,
Were like his noble, generous name, Hamid.

5. His awe conquered hearts, and necks
Of kings submitted to him, prey.

6. And how many blessings and nobility does he have
With God, their status is praiseworthy.

7. Long live the Caliphate in loftiness,
For God, its support is coupled with success.

8. Its pillars were named through his offspring,
Glory surpassing, so nothing can be added.

9. This esteemed Shaykh al-Islam of the world,
Is unique in virtue among people.

10. Full moon of knowledge, sea of dew, towering dignity,
Star of guidance, pillar of piety, the goal.

11. A sea which if the springs of his knowledge are accessed,
Chests praise in bloom.

12. He was given the crown of Muhammad’s law,
An eternal honor held in his grip.

13. He continued building the pillars of knowledge,
For pillars are held firm by building.

14. His good traits adorned him, like necklaces
Around the neck of the lofty, studded with knowledge.

15. A polished dual-edged sword, whetted,
Steel, as all iron is steel when sharpened.

16. May God steady for the enemy his opinion -
An arrow that strikes true, excellent aiming.

17. Wakeful, no drowsiness affects his eyelids,
Except sometimes in darkness, conjectures.

18. In solving a problem and rejecting disasters,
Or undoing tightness, easing.

19. Looking forward, he meets praise’s delegations,
And praise of the generous has delegations.

20. His face is a garden, his generosity a stream,
Blessed is he who visits the dew and makes it flow.

21. Peerless, combining all virtues’ stars,
Yet I see the counting of them has no limit.

22. O Exalted Master, and whoever witnesses
His superiority, envious and resentful.

23. The perfection of the generous and knowledgeable’s merit,
Is that the enemy thus bears witness.

24. Live in peace in the shadow of the oldest state,
Its good fortune’s star rose fortunate.

25. And upon you from my blessings, Ahmad’s Caliphate,
And the dew of the Commander of the Faithful is cooling.

26. You enjoy care and the whites of gifts,
Each dawn for it has renewal.
