1. What has become of Barmak in the land of Baghdad
The day of glory, not the sons of Abbad

2. One day it made proud achievements in souls
From what you have of happiness and integrity

3. And refinement combined with the scent of musk
And eloquence connected with long descent

4. You adorned the neck of time with a state
That took the place of the soul in bodies

5. The Almighty, see how much good He has made for this land
Including beautiful morals and hands

6. Alas! In your lifetime, oh time, so delight me
Forever with spreading the glories of achievements

7. For through them, they are generous and good manners
Like a garden when dawn's brightness touches it

8. Among them are full moons of knowledge and signs
And suns of the horizon of guidance and integrity

9. They opened with swords the forts of highlands
Before the princes and armies

10. And the generous paid it his protection
The scholar of invaders and Muhammad the breaker

11. With tents that were in the midst of its glory
The abundance of spears and resting places of lions

12. He had from his determination and firmness
Multiples of what supplies he was given

13. And for the religion of truth he has the ferocity of an advisor
The invaders were crushed by it on the battlefields

14. The days convey to him the good glories
And achievements that triumphed over all foes

15. And virtues filling the eyes with beauties
That were limited to its summit by exclusivity

16. I raised the rhetoric of Abdul Hamid
And linked his rhetoric with the bow of Iyad

17. You are the pillar of its orbit, O sons of glory
The day of pride and the destination of lions

18. None among you but an ally against afflictions
Of pure traits, counted among individuals

19. You made honorable struggle with the highest intention
Most wondrous and effort for the best consequence

20. And you wore the splendor of Damascus so its days
Became delightful during festivals

21. A land in which are the tombs of prophets
And in it is the protection of saints and pegs

22. It increased in honor beyond honor so you still
Make happy during days in prosperity

23. And you remained the shadow of the country and its people
As long as lightning flashes or a lover croons
