1. في ذُرى مَلْكٍ هوَ الدَّه

    رُ عطاءً وَاِسْتلابا

    In the heights of a king who is Time

    in giving and taking away,

  2. مَن لهُ كفٌّ تبُزُّ ال

    غَيْث سَحّاً وَاِنسكابا

    one whose hand surpasses the

    rain in downpour and outpouring;

  3. فاتحٌ في وجهِ كلِّ

    أمَّةٍ للنّصر بابا

    who opens before every

    nation a gate to victory.

  4. تَرجُفُ الدُّنْيا إذا حر

    رَكَ للسَّيْر الرِّكابا

    The world trembles when he

    sets the mounts in motion for the march.

  5. وتخِرُّ المُشمَخِرّا

    تُ اِختِلالاً واِضطِرابا

    And the towering heights collapse

    in disarray and turmoil.

  6. وَتَرى الأَعداءَ مِن هَيْ

    بَتِهِ تَأوي الشِّعابا

    And you see the enemies, in

    awe of him, seek shelter in the ravines.

  7. وَإِذا ما لَفَحَتْهُمُ

    نارُهُ صَاروا كبابا

    And whenever they are scorched

    by his fire, they become roasted meat.

  8. يا عِمادَ الدّينِ لا زِل

    تَ على الدّين سحابا

    O ʿImād al-Dīn, may you never cease

    to be a raincloud over the faith,

  9. جاعلاً مِن دونه سَيْ

    فَكَ إنْ رِيع حِجابا

    setting, before it, your

    sword as a shield if it is alarmed.

  10. فَاِلبَس النَّعْمَاءَ في الأم

    نِ الّذي طِبت وطابا

    So clothe yourself in blessings, in the

    safety in which you have thrived, and which has grown pleasant.

  11. وَاصْفُ عَيشاً إِنَّ أَعدا

    ءَكَ قَد صَاروا تُراباً

    And live serenely, for your

    enemies have already become dust.
