فَبَشِّرْ سماءَ السَّنَا والسَّناءِ

بنجم هُدىً لاَحَ في آلِ هُوْدِ

Rejoice, O heaven of joy,

With a guiding star that shone among the House of Hood,

بِمُقْتَبَسٍ من شُمُوْسِ النُّفُوْسِ

ومُقْتَدَحٍ من زِنادِ السُّعُودِ

Kindled from the suns of souls,

And ignited from the flints of glory,

هِلاَلٌ تَأَلَّقَ من بَدْرِ سَعْدٍ

ومُزْنٌ تَخَلَّقَ من بَحْرِ جُودِ

A crescent that gleamed from the full moon of Saad,

And a lamp that was lit from the sea of generosity,

شِهابُ مِنَ النَّيِّرَيْنِ استَطَارَ

لإِرْدَاءِ كلِّ مَرِيْدٍ عَنِيْدِ

A shooting star that flew

To clothe every stubborn opponent,

ونَصْلٌ إذا تَمَّ منه انتِضَاءٌ

فَوَيْحَ العِدَا مِنْ مٌبِيْرٍ مُبِيْدِ

And a sharp sword that when unsheathed

Woe to the enemies from a destroying warrior,

تَبَيَّنَ فيه كُمُوْنُ الذَّكاءِ

ويا رُبَّ نارٍ بِمُخْضَرِّ عُوْدِ

In it the essence of intelligence was evident,

Oh Lord, with a green rod.
