القَصرُ ذو الشُرُفاءِ مِن بَغدادِ

لا القَصرُ ذو الشُرَفاتِ مِن شَدّادِ

The palace of honorable men from Baghdad

No, the palace with balconies from Saddad

وَالتاجُ مِن فَوقِ الرِياضِ كَأَنَّهُ

عَذراءُ قَد جُلِيَت بِأَعطَرِ نادِ

And the crown above the gardens as if it were

A maiden adorned with the most fragrant perfume

وَالريحُ تَلعَبُ بِالغُصونِ فَتَنثَني

فَكَأَنَّهُ مِنها عَلى ميعادِ

The wind plays with the branches and bends them

As if it has an appointment with them

وَكَأَنَّ دِجلَةَ سِلكُها ف جيدِها

وَالبَعلَ سَيِّدَنا الإِمامُ الهادِي

And as if the Tigris River, its course was in its chest

And the Master, our Lord Al-Hadi

الناصِرُ المَنصورُ خَيرُ خَليفَةٍ

لا يَمتَطي في الحَربِ مَتنَ جَوادِ

Al-Nasir al-Mansour, the best Caliph

Does not ride in war an untamed steed

صَلّى عَلَيهِ اللَهُ ما صَدَحَت بِهِ

وَرقا مُطَوَّقَةٌ عَلى مَيّادِ

May Allah bless him as long as leaves rustled

On branches garlanded on banquet tables

وَكَذاكَ ما بَرِقَت بُروقُ مَباسِمٍ

سَحَّت لَها مِن مُقلَتَيَّ عَوادِ

And as long as the flashes of smiling faces gleamed

Which were unveiled by the eyelids of visitors

مِن خُرَّدٍ كَالشَمسِ أَقلَعَ غَيثُها

فَبَدَت بِأَنوَرَ مُستَنيرٍ بادي

From a pearl like the sun, its rain has risen

Appearing with the most luminous radiance
