1. جلوسُك فوقَ العرشِ تحتَ البيارق

    دَلاَلَةُ عدلِ اللهِ بينَ الخلائقِ

    Your sitting upon the throne beneath the banners

    Is a sign of God's justice among all creatures.

  2. تبّوأت تختَ المُلكِ فازدانَ رونقاً

    وإنَّ الدُجى يزهو بإِشراقِ شارقِ

    You took your place upon the royal throne, and it grew resplendent,

    And indeed, night's darkness glows with a rising sun's radiance.

  3. فقمتَ بأعباءِ الخلافة سالكاً

    لخير بني عثمانَ أسمى الطرائقِ

    So you shouldered the burdens of the caliphate, following

    The loftiest paths for the good of Osman's sons.

  4. تفاخرتِ الأيامُ فيكَ تباهياً

    فبتنا ولم نحسب حساباً لطارقِ

    The days vied in boasting proudly of you,

    So we passed the night, taking no account of any night visitor.

  5. وباتَ عليكَ الصبحُ يحسدُ ليلَهُ

    ويحسدُ ذا وجهِ الصباح الملاصق

    And morning came to envy its night because of you,

    And this one envies the face of the adjoining morning.

  6. فنحن أسارى فضلهِ وجميلِهِ

    فقد باتَ كلٌ في نَدَاهُ كغارق

    So we are captives of his bounty and his kindness,

    For everyone has become as one drowning in his generosity.

  7. فحولَيك من عدِّ النجومِ عساكرٌ

    تموتُ فدى الأوطانِ غيرَ زواهقِ

    So around you are troops as numerous as the stars,

    Who die as ransom for their homelands, yet do not perish.

  8. ويا بهجةَ الدنيا جلوسُك بهجةٌ

    ويوبلك الميمونُ فخرُ الخلائقِ

    And, O joy of the world, your enthronement is a joy,

    And your auspicious jubilee is the pride of all creation.

  9. هو المصطفى قولوا معي فليعِشِْ لنا

    وانجاله ما صاح طيرُ الحدائقُ

    He is the chosen one; say with me: long may he live for us,

    And his sons, as long as the garden birds sing.

  10. أمولايَ إني من سلالة معشر

    نُفدّيكَ بالأرواحِ وقت المضايِقِ

    O my lord, I am descended from a people:

    We ransom you with our lives in times of hardship.
