أبعد الذي قلدتما الدين والحمى

يريد العدا منا نصيباً ومغنما

O you who have been endowed with religion and zeal

The enemy wants from us a share and spoils

لقد ذدتما عنا الطغاة فأدبروا

ودافعتما الخطب الرهيب فأحجما

You have repelled from us the tyrants, so they retreated

And you have resisted formidable calamities, so they desisted

وأعددتما فينا طرائق نجتني

بها النصر إن شاءوا قتالاً وشئتما

And you have prepared for us ways that have saved me

Through which victory, if they wanted war and you wanted

وأمددتمانا بالرجاء وشدتما

معاقل للأوطان طاولت السما

And you have supported us with hope and you have strengthened

Fortresses for homelands with summits reaching the sky

وأيدتمانا بائتلافكما الذي

به صرتما للدين كفاً ومعصما

And you have supported us with your alliance which

Has made you a shield and protection for the religion

يصول بما أوليتماه من القوى

سديد المرامي واضح السبل معلما

It rages with what you have been granted of powers

Precise in its aims and clear in its paths, providing guidance

وما أنتما إلا غراري حسامِه

إذا لاح ردا كل سيفٍ مثلَّما

And you are but my swords whose blades

When they appear, blunt every polished sword

وقد كان قبل اليوم يرجف خائفاً

صروف الليالي والمغير المذمما

And previously it would tremble in fear

Of the nights' vicissitudes and the hostile critic

ويدعو بنيه الأكثرين ويشتكي

فلم يلقهم إلا أذلاء نُوَّما

And he would call his many sons and complain

But he found them only humiliated and asleep

إلى أن أتى حكماكُما فجلوتما

عن الشرق ليلاً بالحوادث مفعما

Until your rule came and you uncovered

The East from a night full of events

وأرجعتما الدنيا إليه وسيمة

تروق وتحلو نضرة وتبسُّما

And you returned the world to it beautiful

Pleasing, sweet and smiling

وألبستماه حلة العدل والندى

فأقبل مزهواً بها متنعما

And you clothed it in the garb of justice and brilliance

So it came glorious and blissful in it

وأحييتما عهد النبي وقمتما

بما نصر البيت العتيق المحرما

And you revived the Prophet's charter and you took

What aids the Ancient Sacrosanct House

أعباس إن الوادي الخصب آمل

من اللّه أن تبقى الأمير المحكما

Abbas, the fertile valley hopes

That God will keep you the decisive prince
