إِنَّ ابنَ أحمَدَ زَايِد سَيُِّدُبِهٌ

حَبرٌ تَحَلَّت بِهِ أيَّامُ أزمُنِهِ

The son of Ahmed Zayed is a leader

Whose days have been adorned with wisdom

والصَّالِحُونَ وأهلُ العِلمِ أجمَعُهُم

سَنُّوا لَهُ فَفتَناً مِن حُسنِ دَيدَنِهِ

The righteous and all scholars unanimously

Praised his exemplary character and habit

فَأَعطِهِ فَفتَناً وانصُر أوَانَ أتَى

مَا هُو يَنشُدُ فِيهِ مِن تَفَنُّنِهِ

So grant him integrity and help when the time comes

For what he seeks with expertise

فَرَدُّهُ قَد نَهَانَا عَنهُ كُلُّ نَهٍ

وخَذ لُهُ عَنهُ في الشَّرعِ القَوِيمِ نُهِى

But rejecting him is forbidden to us all

And the noble law discourages it

وَلَم يَكُن أدَباً طَبعاً ولاَ حَسناً

تَمزِيقُ مَاقِيلِ في إعطَاءِ فَفتِنِهِ

It was neither proper nor good manners

To tear apart what he says in his speech
