1. People strive so that they may reach you even if
They traversed your seas or drowned in its swamps

2. And you in war are not easy prey but
A formidable encounter and impenetrable defense

3. All the virtues that the honorable seek
If they praise you one day they have spoken truly

4. You ruled Iraq so the people’s state is good
And you ruled them while the times are turbulent

5. No foreigner and no parvenu in honor
Rather the glory of the Shihab family since creation
