إنَّ البلادَ التي أَصبحتَ واليها

أَضْحَتْ ولا جَنّةُ المأوى ضَواحيها

The land which you have become its ruler

Has become a paradise, its outskirts delightful

وَغَمِّرتْ منْكَ بالعَدل العميم إلى

أنْ طابَ حاضرُها سكني وباديها

It has been saturated by your absolute justice

Until its present and countryside became pleasant

من بعد ما أَصْبَحَتْ طيرُ الخراب بها

على أسافلها تبكي أعاليها

After it had become a land ravaged by ruin

With its heights weeping over its lowlands

فأنتَ كالبان أعطافاً مُرَنّحةً

لمَنْ تَشَبَهَ أنّا أرضى تَشبيهاً

You are like rain clouds, bending down

To one who resembles you, though I am satisfied with any resemblance

فإنهّا كالتي أنشّدتهُا طَرَبَاً

صدورها عَلمَتْ منها قوافيها

For it is like the one whose heart sang joyfully

Whose breasts have learned its rhyming endings from it
