لمع الصباح برونق السعد

فافاض فينا نفحة المجد

Dawn gleamed with the radiance of good fortune,

then poured into us a breath of glory.

وبدت لنا الانوار مشرقة

تعرب عن سعد بلا رد

And the lights appeared to us, radiant,

proclaiming good fortune beyond denial.

الحمد لله القبول انجلى

من حضرة الاقبال بالقصد

Praise be to God: acceptance has shone forth

from the court of favor, through seeking.

اتحفنا القرب وكل الرضا

مباركا والضد في صد

He bestowed nearness and full favor on us,

bringing blessings, while the adversary was turned away.

عوارف من مدد المصطفى

لنا حباها صاحب اليد

Bounties from the aid of al-Mustafa,

bestowed upon us by the generous-handed one.

ما احسن القرب الذي لألأت

أنواره في حاله البعد

How lovely the nearness in which sparkled

its lights, even in its state of distance.

يا منشد الركب اذا ما سرى

مزمزما يسعى الى نجد

O singer of the caravan, when it travels by night,

chanting softly, making its way toward Najd,

شنف بذكر الحي اسماعنا

وصف لنا حدائق الورد

adorn our ears with mention of the tribe,

and describe for us the gardens of roses.

واحك احاديث كرام لهم

صح فخار الجد والجد

And recount tales of noble people whose

pride in ancestry and earnest endeavor is well-founded,

لتطرب العيس وتنسى العنا

وثقل الاحمال والكد

so the pale camels may rejoice and forget hardship,

and the weight of the loads, and toil.

وعندها دعنا باشجاننا

لنسفح الدمع على الخد

And then leave us with our sorrows,

so we may pour tears upon the cheek.

فكم بنا شوق لاهل الحمى

وهم اولو العطف على العبد

For how great is our longing for the people of the sanctuary!

And they show compassion toward the servant.

ما عندنا تجاه الطافهم

سوى عظيم الشكر والحمد

We have nothing in return for their kindnesses

but immense gratitude and praise.
