1. إنَّ عبدَ العَزيزِ شَيْخٌ

    بِهِ يُكشَفُ الشَّبَهْ

    Indeed, Abd al-Aziz is an elder

    Through whom ambiguity is dispelled.

  2. وترى للخَليلِ فيهِ

    وأقرانِهِ شَبَهْ

    And in him you see al-Khalil's

    And his peers' likeness.

  3. وهْوَ لاشَكَّ شاهِدٌ

    أنَّ إبريقَنا شَبَهْ

    And he is, without doubt, a witness

    That our ewer is brass.

  4. يا مَنْ تواضُعُهُ عَوْنٌ وسؤدُدُهْ

    نَجْدٌ وهِمَّتُهُ التَّفريجُ للِكُرَبِ

    O you whose humility is a help, and whose nobility

    Is a highland, and whose aspiration is to relieve distress,

  5. أَوصِ الزَّمانَ بحِفظي مِن نَوائِبِه

    فإن أحداثَهُنَّ السُّودَ تلعَبُ بي

    Bid Time protect me from its calamities,

    For their dark vicissitudes toy with me.
