1. The kingdom has come to my master Al-Mansur
As he sits robed in splendor and light

2. A king who since he rose has not been seen
Except atop a dais, pulpit, or throne

3. He is forebearing in his wisdom and firm in his resolve
His judgment is sound, his rule is just

4. In the fullness of glory, in awe-inspiring grandeur
In the fine form of the victorious al-Mansur

5. Egypt under his rule has become beautiful and radiant
Where once she was bitter as camphor

6. It is through his grace that my hands exist
Between honor, favor, and gifts

7. Good fortune has risen for me in his pleasure
With my loyalty and the vizier's protection
