O you who comes seeking goodness,

ألا يا قادما بالخير يسعى

1. O you who comes seeking goodness,
You have attained glory with your arrival.

١. أَلا يا قادِماً بِالخَير يَسعى
بَلَغت بعزِّ مقدمك السُعودا

2. You had accustomed us to honor before,
And were generous and kind to us.

٢. لَقَد عَوّدتنا التَشريف قَبلاً
وَجُدت بِهِ لَنا كَرَماً وَجودا

3. If you were absent from our sight and hearing,
You were still present to our hearts.

٣. فَإِن تَك غِبت عَن بَصَر وَسَمع
فَما زالَت لَكَ الأَحشا شُهودا

4. We watch the rising sun of your grace,
Though it reaches far in its course.

٤. تُراقب مِنكَ طَلعة شَمس فَضلٍ
وَإِن بَلغ المَدى أَمَداً بَعيدا

5. The sun never sets from our sight,
Lest those watching think it has returned.

٥. وَما غَربت عَن الأَبصار شَمس
فَشَكّ الناظِرون بِأَن تَعودا

6. So stay with honor and welcome, and be safe,
For God has forsaken the envious.

٦. فَدم بِالعزّ وَالإقبال وَاِسلم
فَإِنّ اللَه قَد خَذلَ الحَسودا
