إِنَّ الأَميرَ أَدامَ اللَهُ دَولَتَهُ

لَفاخِرٌ كُسِيَت فَخراً بِهِ مُضَرُ

The prince - may God prolong his rule -

The Prince—may God perpetuate his reign—

Is truly glorious, his nobility makes Mudar proud.

Is a source of glory, robing the tribe of Mudar in pride.

في الشَربِ جارِيَةٌ مِن تَحتِها خَشَبٌ

ما كانَ والِدَها جِنٌّ وَلا بَشَرُ

When he drinks, a maid stands under the cup,

At the drinking feast stands a maiden borne upon wood,

Her father was neither a jinn nor a human.

Whose father was neither Jinn nor humankind.

قامَت عَلى فَردِ رِجلٍ مِن مَهابَتِهِ

وَلَيسَ تَعقِلُ ما تَأتي وَما تَذَرُ

She stood on one leg out of fear of him

She stands upon a single leg in reverence of him,

And cannot comprehend what she does or doesn't do.

And comprehends not what she does nor what she leaves undone.
