يا قاسم العلياء يا

يا قاسم العلياء يا

حلف العلى وأنيسها

O Qasim of high glory, O

O Qasim Al Aliya, oath of the high and its companion

ally of exaltation and its companion!

You are the one who if the leaders were counted would be their leader

أنت الذي ان عدّت

أنت الذي ان عدّت

الرؤساء كنت رئيسها

الرؤساء كنت رئيسها

You are the one who, if one counted

If happiness arose and its suns shone upon you

the chiefs, would be their chief.

This is the young man of Al Aliya, Isa, who borrowed its suns

ان السعادة اطلعت

ان السعادة اطلعت

وجلت عليك شموسها

وجلت عليك شموسها

Indeed, happiness has brought forth

The saplings of his love thrived and affection watered their shoots

and unveiled its suns upon you.

I feared for love that discord would taint its cups

هذا فتى العلياء عيسى

هذا فتى العلياء عيسى

المستلين شموسها

المستلين شموسها

Here is the youth of high glory, Isa,

So turn to us before wars flare up and their turmoil

who tames its restive steed.

طابت مغارس وده

طابت مغارس وده

وسقى الوداد غروسها

وسقى الوداد غروسها

The planting-grounds of his affection have grown fair,

and love has watered their saplings.

اني خشيت على المود

اني خشيت على المود

ة ان يشوب كؤوسها

ة ان يشوب كؤوسها

Indeed, I feared for affection,

lest he taint its cups.

فاعطف علينا قبل ان

فاعطف علينا قبل ان

تذكي الحروب وطيسها

تذكي الحروب وطيسها

So turn kindly toward us before

wars kindle their furnace.
