كَسَوتَني حلَّةً تَبلى مَحاسِنُها

فَسَوفَ أَكسوكَ من حُسنِ الثَنا حُلَلا

You clothed me in a raiment whose beauty fades,

So I shall clothe you in robes of noble praise.

أَنتَ اِبنُ من زانَتِ الدُنيا مَكارِمُهُم

وَأَصبَحوا مَجدَهُم بَينَ الوَرى مَثَلا

You are the son of those whose noble deeds adorned the world,

And whose glory became a proverb among all mankind.

بِكُم هدى اللَهُ ماضينا وَآخِرَنا

فَأَنتُموا رحمةٌ نِلنا بها الأَملا

Through you, God guided our past and our future,

For you are a mercy through which we attained our hope.

يُحصى الحصى قبلَ أَن تُحصى فَضائِلُكم

دُنيا وَديناً وَإِحساناً وَمُنتَحَلا

The pebbles of the earth could be counted before your virtues—

In worldly rank, in faith, in charity, and in creed.

فَاللَهُ يَكسوكُمو نَعما وَيَجعَلُكُم

مُلوكَنا ما بَدا نَجمٌ وَما أَفَلا

So may God clothe you in blessings and appoint you

Our kings, as long as a star rises and sets.
