أَنتم لمحمودٍ كآلِ محمدٍ

متصادفي الأفعالِ والأسماءِ

You are to Mahmoud like the family of Muhammad,

Alike in deeds and names,

يتلو أَبا بكرٍ على حسناته

عمرُ الممدَّحُ في سناً وسناءِ

Abu Bakr is succeeded in his virtues,

Umar is praised for his years and glory,

ويليهِ عثمانُ المُرجّى للعُلى

وعليٌّ المأمولُ في الأْواءِ

Followed by Uthman, hoped for the highest place,

And Ali, expected during hardships,

وتقبل الحسن الممجّد مجدهُم

فهمُ ذوو الإحسانِ والنّعماءِ

Al-Hasan, glorified, accepted their glory,

As they were benevolent and generous,

فرعتْ لمجد الدين إخوته الذُّرا

دون الورى في المجدِ والعلياءِ

For the glory of the faith his brothers branched out,

Below the world in glory and sublimity,

مِن سابقٍ كرماً وشمسٍ ساده

شرفاً وبدرِ دُجنّةٍ وبهاءِ

From an open-handed predecessor and a sun that gives him nobility,

Honor and a bright full moon and splendor,

سُرُجُ الهدى سحب لنّدى شهبُ النُّهى

أُسْدُ الحروبِ ضراغمُ الهيجاءِ

The lamp of guidance drew clouds of favors,

The lion of wars, the lamps of turmoil.
