1. Let the neglected government offices and their clerks rejoice,
And their workers and managers.

2. The rise of the Saud with its administration
On the morning you assumed responsibility for its affairs,

3. And you returned it to proper guidance and improved its condition,
And opened its doors with good fortune,

4. And revived its workers with strength,
And protected it therein with its robes.

5. So it has flourished with your mention,
While others sought to destroy it.

6. Your sincere advisor hastened to save it through you,
So you firmed its loose ends with your wisdom,

7. And protected its funds with your justice,
And with it prevented its pillaging from you.

8. So you remained grateful for its blessings,
From the Lord of the Throne who provided it.

9. Abu Al-Saqr, a soul redeems you,
Who called on you to relieve its troubles.

10. And leaned on you with its covenants,
And you granted its request.

11. The tribulations of time have indeed
Sunk their claws and fangs into me.

12. And my enemies have taken advantage of my long absence
To desolate my dwellings.

13. Your ancestors enabled you to take care of such matters,
When you assumed responsibility for its accounts.

14. So do not forget enemies now past,
When you donned its robes long ago.
