1. The Arabs have extended their necks to you,
And kingship is water pouring upon you.

2. And you are from the sand dune of prophethood, not
Befriending except your loathed enemies.

3. Are you not the one whom God fears and no
Reason deters him from his limits?

4. And whenever the beginning of his resolve inclined
To a doctrine you did not oppose the heel.

5. So it is that kings crack when
They disagree and the errors disappear.

6. And religion flourishes with the honored
Faith of God, the insightful, and the ardent.

7. And every loud clamor, its intentions
Are its antidotes, the spears, and the clubs.

8. And this state which flourished
So time and eras could not contain it.

9. How wonderful is your dewy time when
A time has ordered and your dusty time ebbed.

10. And wonderful is the sunshade that erected
Eulogies and speeches fall short of it.

11. It diminished the feast when it arrived
And obscured the day while it stood tall.

12. Its gems snatch eyes so they are not
Complete except from where it is snatched.

13. A circle peered with its might
Capable, not vilified by the clouds.

14. As if its pearls and essence
Are stars, its sky is gold.

15. As if your virtues were adorned
No shame upon them, and integrity exhausted.

16. The sun has a right to the length of its absence
From it, and the essence of shyness is stolen.

17. And I saw it without blemish in it
So how did they say its beloved are the beads?

18. You have composed it for guidance and its night prayer
Even if the passionate Arabs become angry.

19. In the heart of the Sacred Mosque it has
Yearning, and for the house towards it desire.

20. So no time will pass with its people
Except what it desires and expects.

21. May God send blessings upon you whenever
A sun rose and a well-built hill showered.
