يَهنيكَ يا عِصمَةَ الدُنيا مع الدينِ
قُدومُ أَبنائِكَ الغُرِّ المَيامينِ
Congratulations to you, O protector of the world and the faith, On the arrival of your noble and auspicious sons.
Full moons of good fortune rising in the sky of honor, Before whose might the proudest sultans humble their gaze.
بُدورُ سَعدٍ تَعالَت في سَما شَرَفٍ
ذَلَّت لِعِزَّتِهِم شوسُ السَلاطين
The earth vies for them wherever they alight, And the stars envy the very soil they tread upon.
A glory firmly rooted, passing from your heights to them, Which they have adorned with innate gifts and ancient traditions.
تُنافِسُ الأَرضُ فيِهم أَينَما نَزَلوا
وَتَحسُدُ الشُهبُ فيهم مَوطى الطينِ
O Saud, best of the world's sons, through whom Kingdoms are honored from the Zab to China.
The sun of the Caliphate—nay, the light of the lands— To whose power the haughtiest of chiefs submit.
مَجدٌ تَأَطَّدَ مِن علياكَ نَحوهُمُ
فَطَرَّزوهُ بِمَوهوبٍ وَمَسنونِ
With resolution soaring toward the heights, even if they lay At the zenith of the stars or the depths of the sea.
And his gallant brother, whose praiseworthy deeds Are recited throughout the land in every gathering.
فَيا سُعودَ بَني الدُنيا الذي شَرُفَت
به المَمالِكُ مِن زابٍ إِلى الصينِ
A lion fashioned from might and generosity, Descended from kings who feast the guest and strike the foe.
Muhammad, whose character is praised, and whose ambition Has soared in glory above the highest stars.
شَمسُ الخِلافَةِ بَل نورُ البِلادِ وَمن
تَعنو لِعِزَّتهِ شُمُّ العَرانينِ
When you arrived, Glory hoisted its banner high, While the people stood between praise and prayer.
Praise be to God, this reunion is complete, Within the grove of glory, in power and stability.
طَمّاحُ عَزمٍ إِلى العَلياءِ لَو ذُكِرَت
في هامَةِ النَجمِ أَو في مَسرَحِ النونِ
Drink, O Imam of Guidance, the cup of fulfilled desires in safety, In a life of ease, woven with longevity.
Taking joy in your noble sons, rejoicing In what you have been given, with a tranquil soul and eye.
وَصنوهُ الشَهمُ مَن كانَت مَحامِدُهُ
بَينَ البَرِيَّةِ تُتلى في الدَواوين
For you are the adornment of the world and its delight, The succor of the aggrieved and the destitute.
You have clothed the people in manifold blessings: Safety and abundant favor, freely given without reproach.
لَيثٌ تَصَوَّرَ مِن بَأسٍ وَمن كَرَمٍ
وَمِن مُلوكٍ مَطاعيمٍ مَطاعين
You revived the Guide's Sunnah that had faded away, Through the decisive texts of scripture and clear proof.
And for those who refused, you answered with the sword's edge, With pliable spears and horses swift as wolves.
مُحمدٌ حُمِدَت أَخلاقُهُ وَعَلَت
في المَجدِ هِمَّتهُ فَوقَ السِماكينِ
Until the star of Islam shone bright and clear, And disbelief was left clad in the rags of sorrow.
Though you came later in time, your eminence has surpassed Those who came before in the age of al-Ma'mun.
لَمّا قَدِمتُم أَقامَ المَجدُ رايَتَهُ
وَالناسُ ما بَينَ تَحميدٍ وَتَأمينِ
May you remain a fortress for this faith, Throughout the ages, from one era to the next.
O King of auspicious omens and fortune, Son of majestic kings and sultans.
فَالحَمدُ لِلَّهِ هذا الشَملُ مُبلتئِمٌ
في دَوحَةِ المَجدِ في عِزٍّ وَتَمكينِ
God has favors stored in you which He shall reveal, Elevating your fortune, never to be diminished.
Under which the sons of Islam shall live in prosperity, Enveloped by time in safety and gentle ease.
فَاِشرَب إِمامَ الهدى كَأسَ المُنى أَمناً
في خَفضِ عَيشٍ بِطولِ العُمر مَوضونِ
Success is yours, for you entrusted the covenant to them— Saud: fortune to the pious, misfortune to the foe.
How many dark calamities of time has he dispelled With the Mashrafiyah sword and unerring judgment.
مُمَتَّعاً بِبَنيكَ الشُمِّ مُبتَهِجاً
بِما أُتيتَ قَريرَ النَفسِ وَالعينِ
Noble traits that eclipsed the tales of Harim, And the Barmakids in the era of Harun.
O son of he who conquered the world with his resolve And sharp blades, and gave away all that was hoarded.
فَأَنتُمُ زينَةُ الدُنيا وَبَهجَتُها
وَأَنتُمُ غَوثُ مَلهوفٍ وَمِسكينِ
May you continue to follow him, walking in his path, In might, generosity, and undiminished honor.
Thus you remain a wealth and shield for faith and the world, Where lions graze peacefully alongside the wild deer.
أَلبَستُمُ الناسَ نَعماءً مُضاعَفَةً
أَمناً وَفَضلاً جَزيلاً غَيرَ مَمنونِ
Then blessings upon the Guide and his followers, Muhammad, the Chosen One, best of all creation.
أَحيَيتُمُ سُنَّةَ الهادي التي دَرَسَت
بِمُحكَمِ النَصِّ مِن آيٍ وَتَبيينِ
وَمن أَبي فَبِحَدِّ المَشرَفِيِّ وَبِال
سُمرِ اللِدانِ وَجُردٍ كَالسَراحينِ
حَتّى اِستَنار مِنَ الإِسلامِ كَوكَبهُ
وَأَصبَحَ الكُفرُ في أَطمارِ مَحزونِ
لَئِن تَأَخَّرتُمُ وَقتاً لَقد سَبَقَت
عَلياكُمُ من مَضى مِن عَصرِ مَأمون
فَلا بَرِحتُم لهذا الدينِ مُعتَصَماً
عَلى مَدى الدَهرِ مِن حينٍ إِلى حين
يا أَيُّها المَلِكُ المَيمونُ طائِرُهُ
وَاِبنَ المُلوكِ الأَجِلّاءِ السَلاطينِ
لِلَّهِ فيكَ عِناياتٌ سَيُظهِرُها
يَعلو بها لَكَ حَظٌّ غَيرُ مَغبونِ
يَعيشُ فيها بَنو الإِسلامِ في رَغَدٍ
مِنَ الزَمانِ وَفي أَمنٍ وَفي لين
وُفِّقتَ وُفِّقتَ إِذ وَلَّيتَ عَهدَهُمُ
سعودَ أَهلِ التُقى نَحسَ المُعادين
فَكَم جَلا مِن خُطوبِ الدَهرِ مُعتَكِراً
بِالمَشرَفِيِّ وَرَأيٍ غَيرِ مَأفونِ
مَكارِمٌ نَسَخَت ما حُكي عَن هَرِمٍ
وَعن بَرامِكَةٍ في عَهدِ هارونِ
ياِبنَ الذي ملكَ الدُنيا بِعَزمَتِهِ
وَبِالمَواضي وَأَعطى كُلَّ مَخزونِ
لا زِلتَ تَتلوهُ مُستَنّاً بِسُنَّتِهِ
بَأساً وَجوداً وَعزّاً غَيرَ مَخبونِ
كَذاكَ لِلدّينِ وَالدُنيا غِنىً وَحمىً
تَرعى بكَ الأُسد فيها كُنَّسَ العينِ
ثُمَّ الصَلاةُ عَلى الهادي وَشيعَتِهِ
محمَّدِ المُصطَفى مِن عُنصُرِ الكونِ
