1. تَبلَّجَ دينُ اللّهِ في كلِّ خُطَّةٍ

    وأنْتَ لهُ عند الجهادِ المُظَفَّرُ

    God’s religion has shone forth in every undertaking,

    and you are its victorious champion in holy war.

  2. وهَوَّن جَدْب العام والمحل عارقٌ

    بنانُكَ تَهْمي بالنَّوالِ وتهْمُرُ

    And the year’s drought was eased, while famine gnawed,

    by your fingertips, streaming bounty and pouring it forth.

  3. فأنت الحيا الهطَّال والغيثُ حابسٌ

    وأنت الحِمى والمَشْرفيَّةُ تقْطُر

    For you are the downpour while the rain holds back,

    and you are the refuge while the Mashrafi swords drip.

  4. يطيبُ لعافي يزدنٍ موردُ النَّدى

    ويكْرُمُ بالنُّعْمى إِيابٌ ومصْدر

    The wellspring of generosity is sweet to Yazdan’s petitioner,

    and return and departure are graced with bounty.

  5. أغَرُّ كأنَّ الصُّبْح منْ قسماتِه

    من السيف أمضى والشَّوامخ أصْبر

    Radiant, as though dawn arose from his features,

    sharper than the sword and more steadfast than the lofty mountains.

  6. رآهُ أميرُ المؤمنينَ مُهَنَّداً

    يَقُدُّ به صِيدَ الرِّقابِ وينْثُرُ

    The Commander of the Faithful saw him as an Indian-forged sword,

    with which he cleaves the proud-necked and scatters them.
