يا سادَتِي إنّ النّدى
أَقربُ مغروسٍ جنى
O my masters, verily the dew
Is the closest planted fruit
تَغرُسُه في لحظةٍ
وقبلَ أُخرى يُجتَنى
He plants it in an instant
And before another it is picked
ما المرءُ إلّا ذِكرُه
فَخلِّدُوا حُسنَ الثَّنا
A man is naught but his legacy
So immortalize beautiful praise
ولقّنُوا زُرزورَكم
شُكركمُ لِيَلقَنا
And teach your nightingales
To thank those who taught them
وزَوِّدُوا ضَيفَكُمُ
ذِكراً جَميلا حَسَنا
And provide your guest
With beautiful splendid memories
وأَنطِقُوهُ بالَّتي
في نَشرها نَيلُ المُنى
And make him speak of those
Whose diffusion brings wishes come true
تُخرسُ عنكم أَلسُنا
لُدّاً وتُذكي أَلسُنا
That would silence our sharp tongues
And make our tongues sincere
إنّ لكم في جُؤجؤي
حبّاً وحُبّاً أوطنا
In my passionate love for you all
There is tender affection and patriotism
أنا الّذي أشدُو بِكم
في كُلّ أُفقٍ مُعلِنا
It is I who lauds you
Announcing in every horizon
ورُبَّما حدّثتكُم
عَن عَرفاتٍ ومِنى
And maybe I told you
Of Arafat and Mina
وطُفت بالبيتِ الذي
طُهِّرَ من كُلّ خَنا
And I toured the House that
Was cleansed of all sins
مُقتَنِياً من وُدّكم
أَنفَس عِلقٍ يُقتَنى
Getting from your affection
The most precious souls to be had
وداعياً جَهدي لكم
دونَ فُتورٍ أو وَنى
Calling my efforts for you all
Without fatigue or lassitude
ويرحَمُ اللَه أمرأ
على دُعائي أَمّنا
And may God have mercy upon
A man who said "Amen" to my prayer
