1. تفاءل هذا الشعب يوم اعتلائه

    على عرش أجداد تسامت مراتبه

    This people grew hopeful on the day of his ascent

    To his forefathers’ throne, exalted in rank.

  2. به الوطن الغالي تشامخ أنفه

    وبالأمم الكبرى تساوت مناكبه

    Through him, the cherished homeland lifted its nose proudly,

    And its shoulders stood level with those of the great nations.
