1. When David ascended alone in his time
In the state of the Master, Khedive of Egypt
١. لما اِرتَقى داودُ أَوحد عَصرِهِ
في دَولة المَولى خديوي مَصرهِ
2. And increased in Sha'ban more glory, as
We hope, and God the Almighty support him
٢. وَاِزداد في شَعبان تَشريفاً كَما
نَرجو وَأَيده العَزيز بِنَصره
3. Majdi congratulated him at that time chronicling
David, the banner has been raised in gratitude
٣. هنّاه مجدي عِندَ ذاكَ مؤرخاً
داود قَد نُشر اللواء لشكره
