1. Abdul Aziz, chief of the noblest family
It is pride enough for you to be its chief

2. To be the full moon amid its stars
And peerless if excellence enumerates its number

3. This misfortune that has befallen is not just hers
It has encompassed both near and distant lands

4. A family honoured, whose glory remains untarnished
Its enemies find no defect to censure

5. You approved what loyalty desired in it
And praised what affection and its friends desired

6. And you saw, among its excellent sons
A pearl, adorned by the necklace of merit

7. Refinement knows, in its subtle ways
To reveal itself to the eminent and make known its generosity

8. So when affairs grew grave, it summoned
Its wise statesmen and hunters

9. Abdul Aziz, the one resorted to for aid
To defend its interests and increase them

10. You fulfilled what it expected of you with determination
The likes of which this young generation has not witnessed

11. You surmount the difficulties of affairs, so you do not waver
Until your ambitions run their course

12. Those strengths, were it not for confronting adversity
The harsh events of time would not have revealed

13. You exhausted them hastily in seeking exaltation
And met your death in the prime of youth

14. So just as Egypt’s cedars wept for their departed dear one
Excellence and knowledge wept for their departed dear one
