يا اِبنَ الهاشِمينَ طُرّاً حُزتَ مَجدَهُما

وَما تَخَوَّنهُ نَقَضٌ وَإِمرارُ

O son of Hashim, you have inherited their glory,

Which no breach can undo, nor passage of time.

لا تُشمِتَنَّ بي الأَعداءَ إِنَّهُم

بَيني وَبَينَكَ سُمّاعٌ وَنُظّارُ

Do not let my enemies gloat over me, for they are

But onlookers and eavesdroppers between you and me.

وَإِنَّ شُكرِيَ إِن رُدّوا بِغَيظِهِمُ

في ذِمَّةِ اللَهِ إِعلانٌ وَإِسرارُ

And though they return my gratitude with their rage,

My thanks are known to God openly and secretly.

فَاِكرُر بِنائِلِكَ المَحمودِ مِن سَعَةٍ

عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ بِالمَعروفِ كَرّارُ

So repeat your blessed favors to me abundantly,

For you are constantly disposed to kindness.
