قَد أكثَبَت فرصُ الجميلِ فبادرِ

وَاِنهض لَها نَهض الهزبرِ الخادرِ

Opportunities for goodness abound, so seize them!

Rise for them with the vigor of a lively young man.

وَاِبسط يَد الإحسانِ مُغتنماً بِها

غَرس الصنائعِ في فؤاد شاكرِ

Extend the hand of kindness, making the most of them,

Planting the fruits of virtue in a grateful heart.

وتُغالُ في اِسترقاق حرّ لَم يسم

بِالغبنِ قانيه بِوفرٍ وافرِ

Be lavish in freeing a free man who never bore

The stain of dishonor, with bounty aplenty.

اِبذل له مِن فضل جاهكَ لفتةً

تَرنو لهُ منها السعودُ بناظرِ

Grant him from your abundant favor a gesture

That in his eyes reflects aspirations fulfilled.

وَالعرف أفضَلُ ما اِقتنيت وَخيرهُ

ما سدّ خلّةَ مستحقٍّ صابرِ

The finest thing I own is courtesy, and its best

Is to mend the rift of a patient worthy soul.

إنّي بَعَثتك لِلمَكارمِ والندى

بَعثَ البحارِ لمدّ موجٍ زاخرِ

I made you for noble deeds and high principles,

As I made the sea to surge with waves ever rich.

وَأَقمتُ أَنتَظِر الإجابةَ زاجراً

مِنها لِنجحِ السعيِ أيمن طائرِ

And I stand by, anticipating the right answer that will

Guarantee success for this endeavor, auspiciously.
