بالمَلكِ العادِل محمودِ
أَنْجَزتِ الأيامُ موعودي
With the just king Mahmud
The days have fulfilled my promise
أسكنني الإقبالُ في ظلِّهِ
وعادَ حظّي مُورِقَ العُودِ
Good fortune resides me in his shade
And my luck has bloomed like burning incense wood
مَنْ لم يكنْ في ظلِّهِ ساكناً
فإنّه ليسَ بِمَسْعُودِ
He who did not reside in his shade
Is not fortunate
وكيف لا يَسْعَدُ عبدٌ له
أَقامَ بينَ العدلِ والجُودِ
And how can a servant not be blissful for him
Who established justice and generosity
سفائنُ الآمالِ من جُودهِ
قد اسْتَوَتْ منا على الجُودي
The ships of hopes from his generosity
Are laden with bounty from us
آلاؤُه البيضُ بِلألائها
تُشرِقُ في ليلاتِنا السُّودِ
His white favors with their radiance
Illuminate our dark nights
عَزْمَتُهُ مشهورة في الورى
وسيفُهُ ليس بمغمود
His determination is famous in the world
And his sword is not hidden
وثَلْمُ ثَغْرِ الكُفرِ عاداتُهُ
لا لَثْمُ ثَغْرِ الغادةِ الرُّودِ
And the mark of the infidels' mouths, his traits
Not the kiss of the gentle and kind mouths
تثني مثاني الذِّكر عطْفَيهِ لا
لحنُ المثاني والأَغاريدِ
The odes of praise bend for his kindness, not
The melody of odes and chants
وفي مطا الجُرْدِ له راحةٌ
تُنسي وصالَ الخُرَّدِ الغِيدِ
And in the meadows of his army is tranquility
That makes one forget the twittering of insects
غدوت للإسلامِ رُكْناً وكم
رُكْنِ ضلالٍ بكَ مهدودِ
I have become a pillar of Islam and how many
Pillars of misguidance you have demolished
وذُلّ لأْواءِ بني الشِّرْكِ في
لواءِ نصرٍ لكَ معقودِ
And humiliation to the doctrines of polytheists in
The victorious banner devoted to you
شيَّدتَ بالشَّامِ بناءَ الهُدَى
عَزْماً وحَزْماً أيَّ تَشْييدِ
You have established in Damascus the edifice of guidance
With strong and wise determination, what a construction!
لولاكَ لم تَعْلُ بأَطرافهِ
راياتُ إيمانٍ وتوحيدِ
Were it not for you, its outskirts would not
Raise the banners of faith and monotheism
فلم تَدَعْ في أرضهِ كافراً
أَو ملحداً ليس بملحودِ
So you left no infidel in its land
Or atheist who is not demolished
ولم تغادرْ منهم سيِّداً
يَغْدُرُ إلاّ طُعْمَةَ السَّيدِ
And you did not spare any of their leaders
Except to be prey for the master
ولم تَزَلْ تُردي صناديدهم
بجُندِك الغُرِّ الصّناديدِ
And you continued to strike down their grandees
With your strong courageous army
يا مُغزياً شملَ العدَى واللُّهَى
في جمعهِ الحمدَ بتَبْديدِ
O you who split the enemy horde while praising God
In his collection with success and victory
أَجَدْتُ لما جُدْتَ لي فاغْتدى
بمقتضى جُودِكَ تجويدي
I have found reward for my struggle so I gained
What I desired, by the merit of your generosity
هُنِّي بكَ العيدُ وقَوْلُ الورى
هنِّيتَ نورَ الدِّين بالعيدِ
The feast has congratulated you and people's talk
You have brought light to the religion on Eid
