1. By Him who gave you virtue and generosity
Above all living beings and chose you above creation

2. You have been just and generous towards us
And returned to us with patience and gentleness

3. We see the traits of Prophet Muhammad
In your smiling and serene face

4. That turban knows it adorns
That elegant neck and freedom

5. With kindness you pardoned Homs and its people
Though they committed acts of wrongdoing and rebellion

6. You rose for them at daybreak so they witnessed
The sun from one horizon and your face from another

7. Never before had they seen two suns meet
With radiance from West and East in accord

8. You showed them the power of the Almighty
And the forgiveness of a lover of peace

9. Had you wished swords and spears would have felled them
And the well-adorned blue lances would have pierced them

10. You graced them with life so they became
Your loyalists, winning your bounty and freedom

11. For loyalty of freed slaves is stauncher
Than loyalty of slaves still in bondage

12. You remained commander of the faithful for a nation
You led rightly upon the path of truth

13. With your face you take revenge on fate whenever
It does evil just as your grandfather summoned rain
