1. I swear by the light of your shining forehead,
And by the abundance of your generous right hand,
١. قسماً بنور جبينك الوهاج
وبفيض جود يمينك الثجاج
2. And by the glory of the kingdom in which you supported guidance,
After a long period of hesitation and stubbornness,
٢. وبعز مملكة نصرت بها الهدى
من بعد طول تخاذل ولجاج
3. And by the victorious conduct whose traces,
Drenched the eloquent and quenched the thirsty,
٣. وبسيرة نصرية آثارها
غوت الصريح بها وغيث الراجي
4. You revived the religion of God from its stumbling,
And supported the truth of the owner of the night journey,
٤. لنعشت دين الله من عثراته
ونصرت حقّاً صاحب المعراج
5. You corrected the crookedness of politics,
Until it was set straight upon the clear path.
٥. عدّلت من عوج السياسة ميلها
حتى استقمت بها على المنهاج
