1. The noble culture of Tunisia
Appears in the guise of a promiscuous writer

2. Its nationalism protects the sanctuary
Heals the sick from maladies

3. Quenches the thirst of its enemies
Satisfies the weak when angry

4. Its religion is a beacon
That guides the ignorant when lost

5. From its sea gushed forth governance
By whoever speaks or writes

6. It makes the president needless of parliament
And gives the soul joy

7. Its liberation woven with freedom
And its order cast in gold

8. Its news is the plain truth
And its advice, oh wonder!

9. It is culture, it is it
No doubt nor toil

10. Let the non-Arab hordes take cover
Behind its crescent

11. And let hands reach out to it
So it can fulfill their hopes

12. O verdant one, time
Has brought what was ordained

13. Awaken, rise up!
The auspicious time has come

14. Give life to the youth, uncover
Your veil for those who have asked

15. Nature sees nothing
Except appearing, however difficult

16. And when al-Buruni saw
The beauty of your culture, he was enthralled
