1. من الفخر هل فاتتك يوماً شوارد

    أو الشكر هل طافتك آنا فرائد

    Have any elusive glories ever escaped you?

    Or have gratitude’s rare pearls passed you by, even for a moment?

  2. تناهيت حتى لم يكن ثم منتهى

    وأوليت حتّى سودتك المحامد

    You reached the utmost, until no limit remained.

    And you bestowed favors until praiseworthy deeds made you a lord.

  3. وأنت عصام الدين إن ناب حادث

    بعلياك يحمى ربعه والمعاهد

    And you are the faith’s binding cord when calamity strikes;

    Through your exalted standing, its abode and sanctuaries are protected.

  4. فما جاد إلاّ من أياديك كنزه

    ولا ساد إلاّ من لمجدك ساجد

    For none was generous save one whose treasure is your bounty,

    Nor did anyone attain lordship save one who prostrates himself before your glory.
