عُمِّرَ مَن يَعمُرُ ذا المَجلِسا

أَطوَلَ عُمرٍ يُبهِجُ الأَنفُسا

أَطوَلَ عُمرٍ يُبهِجُ الأَنفُسا

May he who inhabits this hall be granted

May he who frequents this dwelling live long,

The longest life, gladdening souls.

The longest life that gladdens souls.

وَبَعدَ ذا عُوِّضَ عَن دارِهِ

وَبَعدَ ذا عُوِّضَ عَن دارِهِ

عَدناً وَمِن ديباجِهِ السُندُسا

عَدناً وَمِن ديباجِهِ السُندُسا

And after this, may he receive in place of his home

And after this he will be compensated for his home

Eden, and fine silk in place of his brocade.

With Eden and silken garments.

وَوُفِّيَ الفَوزَ بِها وَالرِضى

وَوُفِّيَ الفَوزَ بِها وَالرِضى

وَوُقِّيَ الأَسواءَ وَالأَبؤُسا

وَوُقِّيَ الأَسواءَ وَالأَبؤُسا

And may he be granted salvation and contentment there,

And he will be granted success and contentment,

And be shielded from evils and miseries.

And protected from misfortunes and trials.

وَدامَ عَبّادٌ لِعَهدِ الهُدى

وَدامَ عَبّادٌ لِعَهدِ الهُدى

يَحرُسُ حَتّى يُفنِيَ الأَحرُسا

يَحرُسُ حَتّى يُفنِيَ الأَحرُسا

And may Abbad endure in service of guidance's covenant,

And may the worshippers of the covenant of guidance endure,

Guarding it until he wears out the ages.

Guarding until the vigilant grows weary.

مُعتَضِدٌ بِاللَهِ إِحسانُهُ

مُعتَضِدٌ بِاللَهِ إِحسانُهُ

جَمٌّ إِذا ما الدَهرُ يَوماً أَسا

جَمٌّ إِذا ما الدَهرُ يَوماً أَسا

Mu'tadid bi'llah—his benevolence

With God's kindness his benefaction is resolute,

Is abundant should Time one day bring harm.

Bountiful, should time one day be unkind.

المَلِكُ الغَمرُ النَدى المُقتَني

المَلِكُ الغَمرُ النَدى المُقتَني

مِن كُلِّ حَمدٍ عِلقَهُ الأَنفُسا

مِن كُلِّ حَمدٍ عِلقَهُ الأَنفُسا

The king, lavish in bounty, who acquires

The everlasting king, the shining dew, attained

From every praise its most precious treasure.

Every praise hearts can possess.

إِن رامَ يَوماً وَصفَ عَليائِهِ

إِن رامَ يَوماً وَصفَ عَليائِهِ

مُفَوَّهٌ مُقتَدِرٌ أُخرِسا

مُفَوَّهٌ مُقتَدِرٌ أُخرِسا

If someone should one day seek to describe his eminence,

If one day an eloquent describer endeavors

Eloquent and accomplished though he be, he is struck dumb.

To describe his sublime attributes, he would be struck mute.

لا زالَ بَدراً طالِعاً نَيِّراً

لا زالَ بَدراً طالِعاً نَيِّراً

يَكشِفُ مِن آمالِنا الحِندِسا

يَكشِفُ مِن آمالِنا الحِندِسا

May he ever remain a rising, radiant full moon,

He remains an emerging, radiant full moon

Dispelling the deep darkness from our hopes.

That unveils our deepest hopes.
