1. رايةٌ رَوّعها خَطب عَراها

    خَفَقَت وَالهةً فَوقَ ذراها

    A banner, terrified by a calamity that befell her,

    fluttered distraught above her heights.

  2. وَالصِبا مَرّت بِها نائِحَةً

    جَزعاً تَنعى إِلى الدُنيا فَتاها

    And the east wind passed her, wailing

    in anguish, announcing her young hero's death to the world.

  3. يا رايَتي تَجمّلي وَبَعد

    غازي أَمّلي

    O my banner, bear up nobly, and after

    Ghazi, cherish hope;

  4. وَاِعتَصِمي بِفَيصلِ

    أُمنية المُستَقبلِ

    and hold fast to Faisal,

    the hope of the future.

  5. كَعَهدِ غازي أَشرَفي على الحِمى

    وَرَفرِفي مَنيعة بِفَيصلِ

    As in Ghazi's days, tower over the homeland,

    and flutter, unassailable through Faisal,

  6. رَيحانَة المُستَقبلِ

    يا سَليل المرهفات الباتِرات

    the future's sprig of sweet basil.

    O scion of keen-edged, cleaving swords,

  7. وَاِبن رايات المَعالي الخالِدات

    نَم رَيَّ البال وَانعم إِنَّما

    and son of the everlasting banners of glory,

    sleep with your mind at ease, and enjoy bliss; indeed,

  8. عَهِدنا عَهدَك عَزمٌ وَثَبات

    نَم بِالهَنا فَإِنَّنا وَراء تَح

    our pledge is yours: resolve and steadfastness.

    Sleep in bliss, for we pursue the fulfill-

  9. قيق المُنى نَبني بِهنَّ الوَطَنا

    فَيَعتَلي وَيَعتلي

    ment of our hopes, with which we build the homeland,

    so it rises and rises.

  10. وَلَم نَزَل لَهُ الفِدا حَتّى يَنا

    ل الفرقدا مكرَّماً مُخَلّدا

    And we remain its ransom until it rea-

    ches the Farqad star, honored and immortalized,

  11. مُؤيّداً بِفَيصَلِ

    upheld by Faisal.
