1. يا حافظَ الدينِ الذي

    أصبح فرداً علَما

    O Hafiz al-Din, who

    has become a peerless, illustrious figure,

  2. ومنْ سحابُ جودِه

    على الأنامِ قد هَمى

    and whose cloud of bounty

    has poured its rain upon mankind.

  3. أطلَعْتَ في شمسِ العُلا

    بالمكرماتِ أنجُما

    You have raised within the sun of eminence

    stars through noble deeds.

  4. وجُدْتَ حتى لم تدعْ

    من يتشكّى عدَما

    And you gave until you left none

    who complained of want.

  5. الله قد عافى بك ال

    مَجْدَ معاً والكَرَما

    God has, through you, healed

    glory and generosity alike.

  6. فالحمدُ لله الذي

    أذهبَ عنّا الألما

    So praise be to God, who

    has taken pain away from us.

  7. أصبحْتُ لا أملكُ ما

    بين الأنامِ دِرْهَما

    I have come to own nothing

    among mankind—not a single dirham.

  8. فاجعَلْ نداكَ مُنعِماً

    لجَرْح فَقري مَرْهَما

    So make your bounty, graciously,

    a balm for the wound of my poverty.

  9. وابقَ سعيداً مُسعداً

    موفّقاً مُسلَّما

    And remain happy, making others happy,

    granted success and kept safe.
