لَبّاكَ مَشزوزُ القُوى ذَيّالُ

لَبّاكَ مَشزوزُ القُوى ذَيّالُ

أَغلَبُ قَوّالُ النَدي فَعّالُ

أَغلَبُ قَوّالُ النَدي فَعّالُ

A stout-sinewed man, his robe trailing, has answered your call,

O seeker of might, adorned with resolve,

Mighty, eloquent in council, a man of deeds,

The conqueror whose words render deeds,

مِن قَبلِ أَن تَدعو بِهِ الآمالُ

مِن قَبلِ أَن تَدعو بِهِ الآمالُ

إِن قالَ لَم تَقعُد بِهِ الفِعالُ

إِن قالَ لَم تَقعُد بِهِ الفِعالُ

Before hopes summon him.

Before hopes can call out your name,

If he speaks, his deeds do not fail him.

If you speak, actions will ensue,

يُنيلُ جوداً فَوقَ مايَنالُ

يُنيلُ جوداً فَوقَ مايَنالُ

خُلقٌ رَقيقٌ ماؤُهُ زُلالُ

خُلقٌ رَقيقٌ ماؤُهُ زُلالُ

He bestows bounty beyond what he receives.

You bestow generosity beyond what can be attained,

A gentle nature, its water pure and sweet,

Of gentle nature, your essence as pure as water,

كَالخَمرِ إِلّا أَنَّهُ حَلالُ

كَالخَمرِ إِلّا أَنَّهُ حَلالُ

المالُ يَفنى وَالثَناءُ المالُ

المالُ يَفنى وَالثَناءُ المالُ

Like wine, except that it is lawful.

Like wine, but permissible,

Wealth perishes, and praise is wealth;

Wealth fades, but praise endures,

تَبقى العُلى وَتَذهَبُ الرِجالُ

تَبقى العُلى وَتَذهَبُ الرِجالُ

Glory endures, and men pass away.

Nobility remains as men pass away.
