أَلا رعاكَ الالهُ من وَطَنٍ

أَلا رعاكَ الالهُ من وَطَنٍ

علا بهاءً بحُسنهِ وغلا

علا بهاءً بحُسنهِ وغلا

Ah, may God protect you—what a dwelling,

May God protect your homeland

That rose in splendor through its beauty and grew precious!

That rose with splendor in its beauty

فما زُهورُ الرُبَى تُفاخِرهُ

فما زُهورُ الرُبَى تُفاخِرهُ

ولا يُباهِي يوماً حِلاهُ حِلَى

ولا يُباهِي يوماً حِلاهُ حِلَى

For the flowers of the hills do not rival it,

Neither do its flowery meadows boast

Nor do any adornments ever rival its own.

Nor does its jewelry pride itself with ornament

كأَنَّ ايدي الرياض قد خلعت

كأَنَّ ايدي الرياض قد خلعت

عليهِ من وَشيِ زهرها حُلَلا

عليهِ من وَشيِ زهرها حُلَلا

As though the gardens' hands had bestowed

It's as if the gardens' hands have adorned it

Upon it robes of their blossoms' brocade.

With blossoms and flowers

لا زالَ فيهِ السرورُ متصلاً

لا زالَ فيهِ السرورُ متصلاً

بارغد العيش بالغاً أمَلا

بارغد العيش بالغاً أمَلا

May joy remain unbroken within it,

In it joy remains forever connected

With life's fullest ease, fulfilling hope.

To the most lavish life and greatest hope

ودامَ طولَ الزمانِ ساكنُهُ

ودامَ طولَ الزمانِ ساكنُهُ

على ذويهِ للدهر مشتملا

على ذويهِ للدهر مشتملا

And may its inhabitant endure throughout all time,

And may its dweller live long

Embracing his kin forever.

Embracing his loved ones for eternity

قد تمَّ مَعنَى سَنَى المسيح ارخ

قد تمَّ مَعنَى سَنَى المسيح ارخ

بها لمغنىً بحُسنهِ اكتملا

بها لمغنىً بحُسنهِ اكتملا

The meaning of Christ's radiance is fulfilled—record the date

The meaning of Jesus Christ's blessing is fulfilled

With this, for a dwelling perfected by its beauty.

In it, with its beauty made perfect
