غرس الخِلافة لا فاتتك مكرمةٌ

غرس الخِلافة لا فاتتك مكرمةٌ

تدعى لها ما سرى الرُّكبان بالبيدِ

تدعى لها ما سرى الرُّكبان بالبيدِ

Ghars al-Khilafah, may you never miss a noble deed

You have attained honor by establishing the caliphate,

you are called upon to do, as long as riders travel by night through the deserts.

For which travelers across the land called and implored.

سننت فكَّ العُناة الغبر عن كرمٍ

سننت فكَّ العُناة الغبر عن كرمٍ

من الاِمام وعزمٍ منكَ مجدودِ

من الاِمام وعزمٍ منكَ مجدودِ

You instituted the freeing of dust-covered captives, through generosity

You acted with resolve and leadership sublime,

from the Imam and your own fortune-blessed resolve.

Dispelling the unjust from a generous nation.

وقمت في النصح والاشقاق مجتهداً

وقمت في النصح والاشقاق مجتهداً

مقامَ صادقِ ودٍّ غيرِ رعْديدِ

مقامَ صادقِ ودٍّ غيرِ رعْديدِ

And you stood, striving in sincere counsel and compassion,

You strove in good counsel against division and strife,

as one true in affection, no trembling coward.

Holding the stance of a loyal, unwavering friend.

فأصبحت أندياتُ الحي في زجلٍ

فأصبحت أندياتُ الحي في زجلٍ

من الدُّعاءِ مُجاباً غيرِ مرْدودِ

من الدُّعاءِ مُجاباً غيرِ مرْدودِ

So the clan's assemblies rang with a clamor

So the people's song and prayer now gladly proclaim,

of prayers answered, not rejected.

Blessings answered, not in vain, their wishes accrue.

فامنن كسائر ما أوليت من حسنٍ

فامنن كسائر ما أوليت من حسنٍ

بصدق وعدك في اِطلاق محمودِ

بصدق وعدك في اِطلاق محمودِ

So grant a favor, like the other kindness you have bestowed,

Bestow then your promised grace, as you've done before,

by fulfilling your promise to release Mahmud.

With sincerity, freeing the rightly subdued.
