بُوركتِ يا دارَ سلمانَ الَّتي رُفعتْ

منها القواعِدُ للسادات واعْتَمَرتْ

Blessed art thou, O house of Salman, that was raised up

With foundations for nobles laid down, and consecrated

تَحلُّها من قريش سادةٌ نجبٌ

باهَتْ بهم مُضَرُ الحمراءُ وافتخرَتْ

Filled with chiefs of Quraysh, noble and highborn

The ruddy Mudar waxed proud with them dwelling inside

مثل البدور إذا ما أشرقَتْ وزَهَتْ

أو الضراغم إنْ صالت وإنْ زَأَرَتْ

Like full moons when they rise and shine bright

Or stallions neighing loudly when the herd stamps and snorts

على مقاصيرها من كلّ مبتهجٍ

من المحاسنِ والإِحسان قد قصرَتْ

With the fair-faced in all their joy at every window

Of kindness and benevolence its chambers are richly decked

سرِّحْ بها نظراً وانظر بها قمراً

فإنَّها تعجبُ الأَنظار ما نظَرَتْ

Roam it with your eyes and behold in it a moon

For it amazes all eyes that on it have gazed

وقل بسلمان بانيها وساكنها

أَرِّخْ بسلمان دارُ المجد قد عَمُرَتْ

And say it was built and inhabited by Salman

Date the house of glory, for it has been restored
