1. وَرُبَّ جِدارٍ قَد بَناهُ أَميرُنا

    مُحَمّد النَّدبُ الشريفُ طبائعا

    Many a wall was built by our Prince

    Mohammed Al-Nadab the noble, by nature

  2. فَجاءَ مَتيناً وَهوَ كالطّودِ راسخٌ

    فَلَمّا رَآه خَرَّ بَين أَيديه واقعا

    It came out strong, standing like a towering mountain

    Yet when faced with it, fell prostrate before it

  3. رَأى هَيبَةَ اللّيثِ الهَصورِ فَهابَهُ

    فَخَرَّ سُجوداً بَينَ أَيديهِ خاضِعا

    He saw the awe of the hissing lion, so feared it

    And fell bowing before it, humbled and submissive
