لِلسَيفِ وَالأَقلامِ قامَ مُشيرُ

وَبَدا وَزيرٌ بِالرَشادِ مُشيرُ

The advisor of the sword and pen arose

And a minister appeared with wise advice

فَبِسَيف دَرويش السَلامُ موطِدٌ

وَيَراع راشد لِلسَعود مَديرُ

With Darwish's sword, peace is strengthened

And Rashid considers well the guide of Saud

هَذا إِلى الأَجناد يَهدي كَفُّهُ

يمنا وَهَذا لِلبِلاد يُنيرُ

This one extends his palm to the soldiers

As a blessing, and that one illuminates the land

بَطَلٌ لِواءُ النَصر فَوقَ جُنودِهِ

يَعلو وَوالٍ لِلمَليك سَميرُ

A hero whose banner of victory is over his troops

Ascends, and a loyal one to the king, highborn

قَمران قَد طَلَعا بِأَفلاكِ العُلى

بِهُما عَلى الأَكوان فاضَ سُرورُ

Two moons that rose in the highest spheres

With them, joy poured over the cosmos

ضِمناً لِبر الشام كُل سَعادَةٍ فَزَها

وَباهى قُطرَها المَعمورُ

Guaranteeing goodness for Damascus in full

Its territory prospered and shone

فَاِشرَب بِذكرِهِما الكُؤوسَ عَشيَّةً

مَثنى ثَلاث رِباع وَهِيَ تَدورُ

So drink toasts to them in the evening

Two by two, three by three, as they go around

بادر إِلى الأَقداحِ لَيسَ بِرَشفِها

يا صاحِ إِثمٌ ما بِهُنَّ خُمورُ

Hasten to the cups, it's not a sin in their brims

O companion, they contain no wines

لَكِنَّها الطاف إِبراهيم قَد دارَت

وَراشد لِلصَفاءِ يُديرُ

Rather, they circled virtuous Ibrahim

And Rashid makes purity turn

يا أَيُّها البَحرانِ إِن نَداكُما

وَجه البِلادِ بِفَيضِهِ مَغمورُ

O you two seas, your call

Flooded the land with its abundance

لا تَطلُبا إِيفاءَ حَقَّ ثَناكُما

مني فَباعي دونَ ذاكَ قَصيرُ

Do not ask me to repay your right

For my range falls short of that
