Sol 6.1

  1. بَشّر سعدتَ مَن انتمى لسعودي

    بطلوع أنجمه بأفْق سعودِ

    Give glad tidings—may you prosper!—to whoever belongs to Saʿūdī,

    Of his stars rising on a horizon of good fortune.

  2. فهو الذي ما حلّ ساحته امرؤ

    إلاّ وعاد لنا بأوفر جود

    For he is the one in whose courtyard no man has alighted

    Without returning to us with the richest bounty.

  3. وهو الذي طلعت كواكب عزّه

    وقضى الزمان بفضله المشهود

    And he is the one whose stars of glory have risen,

    And time has affirmed his manifest excellence.

  4. فبهاؤه وسناؤه وسخاؤه

    بكماله الزاهي أجلّ شهود

    For his splendor, his radiance, and his generosity

    Are the noblest witnesses to his radiant perfection.

  5. ونواله وكماله وخصاله

    كم قد أذابت من فؤاد حسود

    And his bounty, his perfection, and his virtues—

    How many an envious heart have they melted!

  6. فدع السحائب لا تسَل عنها الندى

    وأنخ مطيَّك نحو بحر الجود

    So leave the clouds; seek no bounty from them,

    And bring your mounts to kneel by the sea of generosity.

  7. يعطى النوال وثغرُه متبسم

    والمزن لا تعطى بغير رعود

    He bestows bounty with a smiling mouth,

    While rain clouds give nothing without thunder.

  8. مِن معشر تخِذوا السماحة ديدنا

    ولهم على العلياء خير ورود

    He is of a people who have made generosity their habit,

    And theirs is the noblest approach to the heights of honor.

  9. من كل من جعل السروج مهاده

    وأباح في الهيجا دماء أسود

    Each has made saddles his bed,

    And in battle made lions' blood lawful to shed.

  10. يا من يروم يعدّ حسنَ صفاتهم

    أقصر فذلك ليس بالمعدود

    O you who seek to count their fine qualities,

    Desist, for that is beyond counting.
