سَعِدَتْ بغُرَّةِ وجهِكَ الأيَّامُ

وتزيَّنَتْ ببقائِكَ الأعوامُ

The days rejoiced in the radiance of your face,

And the years adorned themselves with your permanence.

وتصرَّفَتْ بكَ في المعالي هِمَّةً

تعيا بها الأفهامُ والأوهامُ

Your will moved with purpose through the heights,

Understood by perceptions and imaginations alike.

ولقد فَرَشْتَ مهادَ عدلِكَ فاغْتَدَتْ

تتواردُ الآسادُ والآرامُ

You laid out the carpet of your justice, so it flourished -

Visitations of tranquility and relaxation flowed forth.

وافتضَّ سيفُ عُلاكَ كلَّ مدينةٍ

بكرٍ عليها للإياسِ خِتامُ

The sword of your supremacy conquered every virgin fortress,

Placing upon it the seal of despair.

هذي زرنجُ استغلقت وتمنَّعَتْ

فكأنَّها إلاّ عليكَ حرامُ

This was Ziranj, shut up tight and unassailable -

As if, but for you, it would remain untouched.

ففتحتَها وأَبحتَها ومَنَحتَها

نفراً هُمُ لفنائِكَ الخدَّامُ

You opened it up, made evident its secrets, and granted it

A company who serve obediently at your gate.

وقَدِمتَ والأيامُ تُنْشِدُ في الورى

بيتاً تجيدُ نشيدَهُ الأيامُ

You arrived while the days were singing across the land

A poem whose melody the eras celebrate.

قد جاءَ نصرُ اللهِ والفتحُ الذي

تُزْهى بكتبةِ وصفِهِ الأقلامُ

God's victory has come, and the triumph whose account

Is adorned by the pens of scribes.

بأجَلِّ أحوالٍ وأيمنِ مقدمٍ

وأتمِّ إقبالٍ يليه دوامُ

With the most auspicious of circumstances and fortunate arrival,

And the most perfect success followed by continuity.
