    مِنْ مَسَاعٍ ذَاكَ السَّرِيُّ الهُمَامُ

    O champions of lofty aims, enough of the demands

    for effort imposed on that noble, valiant man.

  2. أَتْعَبَ العَالَمِينَ فِي العَيْشِ

    ذُو النَّفْسِ الَّتِي يَسْتَفِزُّهَا الإِقْدَامُ

    Most weary of all people in life

    is he whose soul is spurred by daring.

  3. حَمَلَتْكَ الْعُقَابُ مَحْمَلَ يُمْنٍ

    تَسْلُكُ الجَوَّ وَالطَّرِيقُ الغُمَامُ

    The eagle carried you on an auspicious journey,

    traversing the sky, with the clouds as its road.

  4. لَمْ تَعِقْ سَيْرَهَا البِحَارُ وَلا

    الأَنْهَارُ فِيهِ وَلا الرُّبَى وَالأَكَامُ

    The seas did not hinder its course, nor

    the rivers along it, nor the hills and knolls.

  5. وَتُؤْمُّ العِرَاقَ فَأَظْفِرْ بِأَسْنَى

    مَا يُلاقِي بِهِ الكَرِيمَ الكِرَامُ

    And it heads for Iraq; may you receive the finest

    welcome with which noble men greet a noble man.

    رَوْعِ فِيهَا دَارٌ عَلَيْهَا السَّلامُ

    Indeed, the Abode of Peace, with its king, most

    magnificent within it, is an abode—peace be upon it.

  7. قُلْ لَهُ حِينَ تَجْتَلِي وَجْهُهُ

    البَسَّامَ وَالسَّعْدُ وَجْهُهُ البَسَّامُ

    Say to him, when you behold his face,

    beaming—and good fortune is his beaming face:

  8. مِصْرُ تَرْعَى ذِمَامَهُ وَتُحْيِّي

    كُلَّ بَرْقٍ مِنْ السَّوَادِ يشَامُ

    Egypt honors his covenant and salutes

    every flash of lightning sighted from the Sawad.

  9. وَتَرَى بِعْثَةَ العِرَاقِ فَتَرْجُو

    لِلْبَلَدَيْنِ أَنْ يَتِمَّ المَرَامُ

    And she sees Iraq's mission, and so hopes

    that the goal may be fulfilled for both lands.

  10. فِي البَوَادِي وَفِي الحَوَاضِرِ عَهْدٌ

    حَفَظَتْهُ لِهَاشِمٍ وَذِمَامُ

    In the deserts and in the cities is a covenant

    she has kept for Hashim, and a pledge of honor.

  11. وَلَهُ فِي القُلُوبِ تَاجٌ سَنِيٌّ

    وَلِوَاءٌ عَالٍ وَعَرْشٌ مُقَامُ

    And in hearts he has a radiant crown,

    and a lofty banner, and a throne set firm.

  12. مَلَكَتْ فَيْصَلاً مَقَادَتْهَا

    أَخْلاقُهُ الغِرُّ وَالفِعَالُ الجِسَامُ

    Faisal was granted their reins

    by his radiant virtues and mighty deeds.
