لمَنْ أوجُهٌ غُرٌّ تروقُ سماتُها
فتُشرِقُ من نورِ الهُدَى قَسَماتُها
For whom is the radiant beauty whose traits shine
Beaming with the light of guidance are her features
تلوحُ بأفْقِ المُلْكِ حيثُ خلالُها
كواكِبُ هدْيٍ تُجْتَلى نيِّراتُها
Appearing on the horizon of the kingdom are her moons
Planets of guidance unveiling their brightness
فآياتُها أجْلى وأوضَحُ كلّما
جلَتْ داجيَ الخَطْبِ المُلمِّ إياتُها
Her signs are clearer and more evident whenever
The darkness of events becomes denser with its verses
فللهِ منْ أبْناءِ نصْرٍ خلائِفٌ
إذا جنَتِ الأيّامُ هُمْ حَسَناتُها
So for God are the Caliphs of Nasr as successors
When time betrays, they are its best deeds
إلى دوحَةِ النّصْرِ العزيز انتِسابُهُم
وهُمْ سِرُّها إنْ عُدِّدوا وسَراتُها
Their affiliation is to Doha of mighty victory
And they are its secret if counted and elite
لهمْ كيفَ شاءَتْهُ المكارمُ والعُلى
عزائِمُ بانتْ في العِدَى فَتكاتُها
However honor and sublimity willed for them
Resolves that appeared resolute against enemies
فَما للعِدَى تبغِي حِمى ملّةِ الهُدى
وأبْناءُ أنْصارِ الرسولِ حُماتُها
So why do enemies seek protection of the religion of guidance
While the supporters of the Messenger are its defenders
فهمْ إن دَعا داعِي النِّزالِ كُماتُها
وهُمْ إنْ دجا ليْلُ الضّلالِ هُداتُها
They are its firm pillars if the caller to war appealed
And its shining guide if the night of misguidance darkened
غيوثٌ ولكنْ كلّما شهِدوا الوَغى
لُيوثٌ ومُلْتَفُّ القَنا أجَماتُها
Succors, but whenever discord appeared
Lions whose determination in war is resolute
قُلوبٌ إلى داعِي الرَّشادِ مُجيبةٌ
إذا ما العِدى ألْوَتْ بها غَفَلاتُها
Hearts responding to the caller to righteousness
If inattentiveness tempted them with neglect
فأيْنَ مضاءُ السّمهريَّةِ والظُّبا
إذا أُبرِمَتْ في المُلْتَقى عزَماتُها
So where is the brightness of Samaaria when
In battle their resolves intertwined
إذا ما دَجَى النّقْعُ المُثارُ بأفْقِهِ
أنارَتْ فجلّتْ جِنحَهُ مُرْهَفاتُها
When the called-to darkness loomed in its horizon
Their wings illuminated dispersing its gloom
وقد أنجَبوا موْلى المُلوكِ الذي غدتْ
تؤمّل جَدوى راحتَيْهِ عُفاتُها
And they brought forth the Master of Kings whom
The chaste wished goodness and ease for him
فما وجَّهَتْ إلا إليهِ وجوهَها
ولا خلصَتْ إلا لهُ دعَواتُها
So their faces turned only to him and their prayers
Were sincere only for him wherever platforms stood
إذا نُصِبَتْ شرْقاً وغَرباً منابرٌ
فتخْطُبُ باسْمِ اليوسُفِيِّ دُعاتُها
And preachers orators spoke in Al-Yousifi’s name
His influence permeated wherever tribunes stood
لهُ كلّما تُتلى صحائِفُ مجدِهِ
مآثرُ قد راقَتْ بها ورقاتُها
Whenever the pages of his glory are read
Deeds pleasing are found in his open books
ومنْ عجبٍ أنّ العزائِمَ منهُ لا
تَحامَى حِمى أعدائِهِ فتكاتُها
And how strange that his resolves do not
Fear enemies, his striking swords their necks seek
وإنْ فئةٌ للدّين تُنْمى وأذْنَبَتْ
لدَيْهِ غدَتْ مغْفورَةً هَفواتُها
If a faction grew in religion but transgressed
Its mistakes were forgiven by his clemency
وهل هيَ إلا همّةٌ خزْرَجيّةٌ
تلوحُ علَى شُهْبِ السّماءِ سِماتُها
Is it but a Khazrajite determination that
Appears in the horizon’s shooting stars
وهل هيَ إلا عَزْمةٌ غالبيّةٌ
إذا خفّتِ الأعْلامُ راعَ ثَباتُها
Is it but a Ghalebite resolve that if signs dimmed
Its steadfastness tends the baby camels to drink
وهل هيَ إلا قُدْرةٌ ناصريّةٌ
ثَنى البَطشَ منها حِلْمُها وأناتُها
Is it but a Naserite power whose patience and care
Curbed its might and made gentle its severity
وهل هيَ إلا شيمَةٌ يوسفيّةٌ
قَضى صَفْحُها أن أُغْمِدتْ صَفحاتُها
Is it but a Yousifite manner which required that
Forgiveness makes its swords return to sheaths
فيَمْحو الخَطايا حِلْمُه وهْو قادِرٌ
إذا العَفْوُ منهُ أمّلَتْهُ جُناتُها
So he wipes out sins with his clemency and he is able
If pardon from him is hoped for by sinners
ويَلْقى عدوّ الدّين طوْعَ جِهادِه
بصَفْحةِ عزْمٍ لا تُفَلُّ شَباتُها
And the enemy of religion voluntarily meets his jihad
With determination whose youth never fail
وأُسْدِ رِجالٍ من ذَوي الحَزْمِ لم تَزَلْ
لحَرْبِ العِدَى مأخوذَةً أُهُباتُها
And men of wisdom and resolve whose
Determination for war is firm and untiring
فيورِدُها للأمْنِ أعْذَبَ مَشْرَعٍ
تَذودُ العِدى عن وِرْدِه مُشْرَعاتُها
He leads them to safety the sweetest pasture
Their dams keeping harm away from his abode
تُقيمُ صَغا الهَيْجاءِ راحةُ يوسُفٍ
وقد قوِّمَتْ في الدّارِعينَ قَناتُها
The ease of Yousuf stills the hissing of snakes
As the strings are tuned in his two pillars
فللهِ ما أوْهى قُوَى الصّبْرِ كلّما
ألَمّتْ بأوْهامِ العِدَى خَطراتُها
So God what weakened the strength of patience whenever
The fancy of enemies disturbed its calm
وقد منَحوا الأكتافَ إذ صافَحَتْهُمُ
سُيوفٌ تَروقُ المُجْتَلي صَفحاتُها
And they granted support when the swords greeted them
Polished blades exposing their surfaces
وتُخفقُ مَسْعى الكافرينَ بُنودُهُ
إذا خفَقَتْ في أفْقِها عذَباتُها
And his principles defeat the endeavor of unbelievers
When his fresh words flutter on the horizon
وراقَ النّهى ما راعَ من قَطْفِ هامِها
وقد أيْنَعَتْ للمجْتَني ثمَراتُها
Abstinence was regarded when she was ripe for picking
And her fruits were ripe for the harvester
دعوا فئَةَ الإشراكِ لا دَرَّ درُّها
كأنّي بها لا تنْقَضي حسَراتُها
Leave the associators be, no use is their folly
It is as if their regrets are never ending
كأنّي بخيْلِ اللهِ تبتَدِرُ الوغى
وقد حمَلَتْ أُسْدَ الشّرى صهَواتُها
It is as if God's horses initiate the battle
Bearing the lions of evil, their neighing loud
سوابقُ ترتدّ الرّياحُ وتنْثَني
بحيْثُ تُجاري هُوجَها مُرْسَلاتُها
Thoroughbreds the winds turn away bending
Wherever its galloping mares race
تَروعُ الأعادي في مدَى السّبْقِ نُزّعاً
تَروقُ النُهى ألوانُها وشِياتُها
Frightening enemies in the horizon agitated
The forbidden unveiled in their colors and features
إذا هيَ بالأبطالِ جالتْ رأيتَها
تُقرِّبُ آجالَ العِدى مُقْرَباتُها
When they marched with the heroes you see them
Hastening the lives of enemies to expire
فَيا ناصِرَ العَلياءِ والمَلكَ الذي
به مِلّةُ الإسْلامِ كُفَّتْ عُداتُها
So supporter of the noble and king who
Through him the nation of Islam's might prevails
تَرومُ مُلوكُ الأرضِ شأوَكَ في العُلى
وقد قصُرَتْ عن نَيْلِه خُطُواتُها
Kings of earth envy your loftiness which
Their steps fall short of attaining
ولما توالَتْ فتْنَةُ الغَربِ واعْتَدَتْ
على أهْلِهِ في كُلّ حيٍّ طُغاتُها
And when the sedition of the West persisted and transgressed
Upon its people in every quarter its tyranny ruled
وما اتّفقَتْ إلا على صُحْبَةِ الرّدى
كما اختَلَفَتْ آراؤُها ولُغاتُها
And they did not unite except in the company of evil
Just as their opinions and languages differed
دعَتْك لعَقْدِ السَّلْمِ بين مُلوكِها
أكارِمُ حيٍّ في يدَيْكَ حياتُها
They called you for making peace between its kings
The generous of every nation is in your hands their lives
فأصْدَرَتْ للأمْلاكِ منكَ أوامِراً
إذا نُطِقَتْ في الحَفْلِ طال صُماتُها
So you ordered the kingdoms commands
That when uttered in the assembly silenced clamor
تطاوَلُ أعْناقٌ وتَسْمو نواظِرٌ
إلَيْها وتُوليها امتِثالاً ولاتُها
Necks outstretched and sights elevated
To them surrendering, obeying your rule
دَعا بهِمُ داعي الأمانِ فأصْبحوا
ودُنْياهُمُ لا تُتَّقى حادِثاتُها
The caller to security made them safe so their world
Became unafraid of its unpredictability
وإنّ حجيجَ اللهِ حلّوا بمكّةٍ
ولاحَتْ لديهِمْ دونَنا عرَصاتُها
And God's pilgrims descended upon Mecca
And its plains were illuminated before us
وما احْتمَلوا إلا قُلوباً تقلّبَتْ
فما تنقَضي طوْعَ النّوى زفَراتُها
And they carried nothing but hearts that tossed and turned
So their sighs never end pouring out
إذا رامَتِ الحجّاجُ رَمْيَ جِمارِها
فنارُ الأسى مَشْبوبةٌ جمَراتُها
When the pilgrims sought to stone the jamaraat
The fire of sorrow flared up in burning embers
فللهِ في مغْنى الهِدايةِ أُسرةٌ
يُعرِّفُها معْنى الرِّضى عرَفاتُها
So God has in the haven of guidance a family
Acquainting them with the meaning of contentment are its plains
تَطوفُ ببيتَ اللهِ سَبْعاً وتنثَني
وقد مُحِيَتْ أثْناءَهُ سيّئاتُها
Circling God's house seven times humbly bowing
And its path was cleared of sins amidst
ويُهْدَى على قرْبِ المَزارِ سلامُها
بحيثُ النّبيُّ المجْتَبَى وصَلاتُها
And peace descends upon the tomb of the Prophet
To whom prayers and peace are always sent
فأهْلاً بهذا اليومِ في الموقفِ الذي
إذا قصّرتْ طالَتْ بهِ وقفاتُها
So welcome is this day at Arafah where
However long one stands, it is too brief
كثيرٌ بمَذْخور الثوابِ اهْتمامُها
قَليلٌ إلى ما خلّفتْهُ التِفاتُها
Abundant are those who cared for its reward
Little did they reflect upon what they left behind
وباتَتْ وقد فازَتْ بأنْعَمِ ليلَةٍ
قضى فضْلُها أن لا تُذَمَّ غَداتُها
And night fell while they won the gift of a night
Whose virtue necessitated imperfection is overlooked
فهُنِّئْتَها طوعَ السّعودِ مواسِماً
قدِ اتّضحَتْ آياتُها وإياتُها
You congratulated it in line with well-being seasons
Its signs and verses became clear
تُحَيّي كما شاءتْ عُلاك وُفودُها
فتَحْيا بجَدْوى راحتَيْكَ عُفاتُها
Just as you willed, its delegations are revived
So by the benefit of your well-being the chaste live
تُقَبِّلُ من مَوْلى الخلائِفِ يوسُفٍ
يَميناً تعُمُّ القاصِدينَ هِباتُها
They kiss the hand of Master of Caliphs, Yousuf
A gift encompassing pilgrims spreads from his hand
تُرينا مِنَ الصُّنْعِ الجَميلِ عوائداً
قدِ اتّصلتْ بالآملينَ صِلاتُها
Showing us from good deed renewals
Since hopes have connected with prayers
وبشْرى بهِ عيداً غدَتْ مِلّةُ الهُدى
كما عُوّدَتْ تعْلو به كلِماتُها
And glad tidings that the nation of guidance
As it used to, through it words are raised
أمَوْلايَ هلْ يُعْطي الخلافَة حقّها
من المدْحِ فِكْرٌ أعجزَتْهُ صِفاتُها
My Master, can praise give the Caliphate its due
Thoughts of praise fall short of describing his traits
مَعانٍ وألْفاظٌ بمَدْحِكَ تُجْتَلى
زواهرُها أو تُجْتَنى زَهراتُها
Meanings and words to praise you being composed
The flowers of rhetoric or its blossoms being picked
سنا الزُّهْرِ ما قد راقَ أمْ ورَقاتُها
شذَا الزَّهْرِ ما قدْ رقّ أمْ نفحاتُها
The beauty of flowers composed or their leaves collected
The fragrance of flowers diffused or their scents emanated
ويا لجُموعِ في ذَرى القُبّةِ التي
بأوجُهِهمْ راقَتْ لدَيْكَ جِهاتُها
And what multitudes under the dome whose
Faces illuminate before you on all sides
يَميلونَ عُجْباً بالثناءِ كأنّما
تدور بأكْواسِ المُدامِ سُقاتُها
Inclining in wonder at praise as if
Its cups are passed amongst the wine-bearers
هلِ اسْتَقْبَلوا أمْداحَها أمْ تحمّلتْ
شذا الزّهْرِ أثناءَ القَبولِ رُواتُها
Did they anticipate its praises or were thrilled
When the fragrance of flowers welcomed its conveyors
وهل هذه الأفكارُ إلا ظَعائِنٌ
حَدَتْها منَ الأمْداحِ فيكَ حُداتُها
Were these thoughts mere guesses
Traced by praises of you, their demarcation outlined
فللّهِ منها والمَحاسِنُ تُجْتَلى
حدائِقُ مدْحٍ تُجْتَنى طيّباتُها
So God from it, and goodness is unveiled
Gardens of praise, its aromas are fragrant
بَقيتَ لأمْلاكِ البَسيطَةِ آيةً
بشَمْسِ ضحاها تهْتَدي نيّراتُها
You remained for the simple kingdom a sign
By the sun of its morning the bright are guided
