O blessing of glory, O fierce lion

And you who are our shield amid the hardships of separation,

Who can protect us from the grinding calamity

لولاك رحنا سبايا بين أيدي الفرس

I swear by your bronze complexion and sharp swords

Without you, we would be captives at the hands of the Persians

واِضحت رسوم الحوبزة عافيات درس

فأنقذتنا بعد ما طحنا وجدّ المرس

May you ever be guarded by the People of the Cloak, O our full moon,

You still watch over the noble people, our full moon

So long as the sun of noble deeds appears upon the page of day.

The sun of glory has not shone on a day like this
