1. قد قامَ ميلادُ الرسولِ مُبَجَّلاً

    ومكَرَّماً ومُعظَّمَ الحُرُماتِ

    The Messenger’s birthday has been observed with reverence,

    and honor, its sanctities exalted,

  2. في حَضرةٍ نَصرِيَّة مَتَّت إلى

    ذاك الجنابِ الرَّحبِ صِدقَ متاتِ

    in a Nasrid court bound to

    that generous presence by a genuine bond.

  3. لِلّه مِنها دارُ مُلكِ شرفت

    بأسود غابٍ للذِّمار حُماةِ

    Praise be to God for its royal seat, ennobled

    by lions of the forest, guardians of honor.

  4. قاموا بنصر الدين إذ لا ناصر

    من بأس أعداء عليه عداة

    They rose to defend the faith when it had no defender

    against the might of enemies hostile to it.

  5. والكفرُ بَينَ تضافُرٍ وتظاهُرٍ

    والدينُ بين تنافُرٍ وشتاتِ

    Unbelief stood united in cooperation and mutual support,

    while the faith lay amid discord and division.

  6. وَجَرَى سَلِيلَهُمُ على منهاجِهِم

    قُدُماً فَجَلَّى سَابِقُ الغَايَاتِ

    And their descendant raced along their path,

    onward, and won the race, foremost at every finish.
