قَد شادَ بِاليُمن ديمتري مَقامٌ هُنا

عَهد السُعود عَلى آفاقِهِ كُتِبا

Demetrius erected a dwelling here in prosperity

The era of Al Saud is inscribed on its horizons

ما زالَ لِلنور في أَرجائِهِ سَكَنٌ

حَتّى تَلمَّع في أَرجائِهِ ذَهَبا

The light continued to reside in its corners

Until gold glittered in its corners

رُكنٌ لِرُكنِ بَني شَلهوب ننظرُهُ

بِالأُنس مُبتَسِماً لِلفَضلِ مُصطَحِبا

It looks upon the children of Shalhoub family with intimacy

Smiling amiably, accompanied by grace

لَولا وَقارق تَسامى فَوقَ ساحَتِهِ

لَكانَ يَرقُص في ضيفانِهِ طَرَبا

If not for its dignified loftiness above its courtyard

It would dance joyously among its guests

قَد أَبهَجوهُ بِتاريخٍ فَقالَ لَهُم

أَهلاً بِكُم قَد أَتيتُم مُربعاً رَحبا

They delighted it with history, so it said to them

Welcome, you have come to a spacious, wide open place
