إِنّ المَعالِيَ لا حُرِمتَ حُلولَها

إِنّ المَعالِيَ لا حُرِمتَ حُلولَها

بُرجٌ بِسَعدِكَ إِذ حللتَ تَشرّفا

بُرجٌ بِسَعدِكَ إِذ حللتَ تَشرّفا

Indeed, lofty honors—may you never be denied dwelling in them—

The heights were not denied your blessed arrival

Are a tower ennobled by your good fortune when you settled there.

A tower with your fortune when you came to be honored

خَدمَتكَ يا شِبلَ الأماجِد فَاِكتَسَتْ

خَدمَتكَ يا شِبلَ الأماجِد فَاِكتَسَتْ

مِنكَ المَحاسنَ والمفاخرَ والصّفا

مِنكَ المَحاسنَ والمفاخرَ والصّفا

They served you, O lion-cub of the noble, and so clothed themselves

Serving you, O lion of glories, it drew from you

In fine qualities, glories, and purity drawn from you.

Beauty, pride, and purity

وَبِكَ اِستَوت مِن فَوقِ عَرشِ سِيادَةٍ

وَبِكَ اِستَوت مِن فَوقِ عَرشِ سِيادَةٍ

فَوقَ المَجرَّةِ قَد أَطلَّ وَأَشرَفا

فَوقَ المَجرَّةِ قَد أَطلَّ وَأَشرَفا

And through you they took their seat atop a throne of sovereignty,

And through you it rose above the throne of leadership

Above the Milky Way, it loomed and towered high.

Above the galaxy, rising and overlooking

صافَتكَ وُدّاً وَاِصطَفَتكَ لِنَفسِها

صافَتكَ وُدّاً وَاِصطَفَتكَ لِنَفسِها

حتّى رَأَيتُكَ لِلمَعالي مُصطفى

حتّى رَأَيتُكَ لِلمَعالي مُصطفى

They loved you sincerely and chose you for themselves,

It chose you out of love and selected you for itself

Until I saw you chosen for lofty honors.

Until I saw you as the chosen one of the heights
