قسماً بنور جبينك الوهاج

وبفيض جود يمينك الثجاج

I swear by the light of your shining forehead,

And by the abundance of your generous right hand,

وبعز مملكة نصرت بها الهدى

من بعد طول تخاذل ولجاج

And by the glory of the kingdom in which you supported guidance,

After a long period of hesitation and stubbornness,

وبسيرة نصرية آثارها

غوت الصريح بها وغيث الراجي

And by the victorious conduct whose traces,

Drenched the eloquent and quenched the thirsty,

لنعشت دين الله من عثراته

ونصرت حقّاً صاحب المعراج

You revived the religion of God from its stumbling,

And supported the truth of the owner of the night journey,

عدّلت من عوج السياسة ميلها

حتى استقمت بها على المنهاج

You corrected the crookedness of politics,

Until it was set straight upon the clear path.
