1. To the restorer of independence, complete
To a country that refused humiliation and rose up

2. What Lebanon possesses of your hand
Has extended and you have given it to all lands

3. That day will remain forever
To commemorate the most honorable event

4. Rejoice on a day that renews his determination
And unites morals and dignities

5. God bless you, oh persevering pioneer
Who renewed a nation and its lands

6. Guiding and walking the path of righteousness
With purpose, fearing God wherever he dwells

7. Does not pass judgements except with wisdom
That examines the deepest secrets

8. No desperate soul that he does not help
No institute of good that he does not establish

9. Who equals the Sheikh President in chivalry?
If he wards off harm or lifts affliction

10. Who equals the Sheikh President in education
Writing, discourse and dialogue?

11. We see in his traits perfected
The purity of soul and altruism

12. And in him true greatness that awes us
With praise, not arrogance

13. The joy of meeting His Eminence
Revives souls and delights sights

14. His cheerfulness and gentle nature appear
And his veil's removal adds dignity

15. Can praises do justice to his right
Or equal his company of the righteous?

16. God, what integrity the President showed
When the caller to sacrifice led the supporters

17. And they went, either to die or to keep
The sanctity alive and the people free

18. Until when they attained success and assumed
Rule, they were the finest of the virtuous

19. So may God empower the President and maintain him
A dear stock for the sanctity and pride
