1. أخْجَلْتَني يا مُخْجِلَ الشّمْسِ

    بمَكارِمٍ أعْيَتْ علَى نَفْسي

    You have abashed me, O you who put the sun to shame,

    With generous deeds that proved too much for my soul.

  2. حمّلْتَني ما لا أُطيقُ بهِ

    فدَهِشْتُ منْكَ وغِبْتُ عنْ حِسّي

    You burdened me with what I cannot bear,

    So I was stunned by you and lost my senses.

  3. يا نُورَ ناظِريَّ وسِرَّ هَوى

    قلْبي ويا عِزّي ويا أُنْسي

    O light of my eyes and secret of the love

    Of my heart, and O my glory, and O my solace!

  4. أنا غَرْسُ مُلْكِكَ جُدْتَني بنَدَى

    كفّيْكَ فاجْنِ الحَمْدَ منْ غَرْسي

    I am a sapling of your realm; you watered me with the dew

    Of your two palms—so reap praise from my planting.

  5. شُكْراً بجودِ يَدٍ احْتَرَقَتْ

    سُحْبُ الحَيا ببَنانِه الخمْسِ

    In thanks for the bounty of a hand—scorched were

    The rain clouds by his five fingers.

  6. وعمَرْتَ كُرسيَّ الخِلافَةِ معْصو

    ماً بحقِّ العرْشِ والكُرْسي

    And may you long occupy the caliphate’s seat, protected,

    By the sanctity of the Throne and the Footstool.
