1. Farouq, O Lord of the fair hand,
O best builder of the best building,

2. Your university that you laid its foundation
And gave it your name, the finest of names,

3. Knowledge has granted its necklace to
One whose essence transcended granting,

4. Your crown shines with the light of knowledge, as
Shines the light on your shining forehead,

5. Who is it that raised the status of sciences
Until it crowns the pinnacle of grandeur?

6. We knew kings extending their palms
To knowledge before today by giving,

7. Among your miracles, O era of eagles, that
Kings have won the prizes of scholars
