1. Raise high the banner of glory, under which your nation prospers,
And cherish the security of covenants, which safeguard your people's trust.

2. Survey the horizons for good fortune, with aspirations higher than the stars,
And open the doors of destiny, whose keys are either your swords against enemies, or your favors towards friends.

3. Bestow favors generously, for we have gained an auspicious share
In the state of glory, which won that share through your rule.

4. If your sword ignites against enemies in battle,
It will light a fire whose glow reflects your generosity.

5. And if their lands all become sanctuaries for you,
Your sanctuary will embrace us through your benevolence.

6. For us you are like the day, smiling, while for enemies you are darkness,
A night when their eyes evoke your pardon, and your vengeance screams within them,

7. And when your clemency makes them imagine your horses,
Your clemency towards the guilty is but your clemency.

8. For this the Merciful made you two lights for us,
Exalting the greatness of both and magnifying your prestige,

9. Glorifier of your lofty, chosen state - your sword in battle, your standard as emblem.
And if one day they are softened by your kindness, that will be your sublime seal, and your ready pen.

10. You encompass all horses and warriors like triumph and opening,
And restrain the violent like prohibition and prevention, to guard the nation through your protection.

11. Your noble rule's foundation never falters in any endeavor,
For in its pride your feet have transcended all efforts.

12. You named it "Warner of Foes," so triumphs and gladdening tidings through it will never cease,
Aspiring towards your lofty ranks which for it encompass every fortune.

13. Rightfully it fulfills the promise of one you do not accuse
Of insincerity or favoritism - for loyalty and fairness you do not doubt.

14. A servant who, on Ashura, witnessed the day with his own eyes,
And heard your every word heeded in each compliant ear,

15. Swearing allegiance to God through the guidance of your wisdom,
Or however your wisdom manifested itself so ingeniously.

16. And delighted our eyes with your confirmations,
The essence of life, which the name of life embodies through your being.

17. In a state whose days are your servants, and a paradise whose fruits are your morals,
Where the birds of your prosperity sing in the gardens, soaring above its plains.

18. Know that kingdoms everywhere continue to orbit under your summit,
And never has a crown for the head neglected your steps, or a stirrup its ornaments by your feet.
