يا أَيُّها الملك الَّذي إِحسانُهُ

غمر الأَنامَ جَميعهم طُوفانُهُ

O king whose kindness has flooded all people with its abundance,

And whose justice has made his realms fragrant with his praise,

وَبعدله في مُلكه بَين الوَرى

طابَت بِمسك ثَنائه أَوطانه

And whose firmness has raised up the pillars of his ancestors’ home,

And whose good conduct and rain of gifts have surpassed its times,

وَبحزمه فيها وَشدّة باسه

رُفعت لَبيت جدوده أَركانه

You are the just imam and the guiding light

That leads to the religion of guidance with faith,

وَبحسن سيرته وَغَيث نَواله

فاقَت عَلى أَمثالها أزمانه

And for you is the All-Powerful, O namesake of His prophet,

A helper against those whom His authority has deceived,

أَنتَ الإِمام العَدل وَالعلَمُ الَّذي

يَهدي إِلى دين الهُدى إِيمانه

And victory walks before you fulfilling wishes,

And your horsemen circle you in celebration,

وَلَكَ المهيمن يا سميَّ نَبيِّه

عَونٌ عَلى مَن غرّه سُلطانه

And Tunis endures, the crown of your kingdom,

A refuge which your loyal men retreat to.

وَالنَصر بَين يَديك يَسعى بِالمُنى

وَيَطوف حَولك في الهَنا فُرسانه

My glory has not increased with my praise of you,

Though my inscription aspires to it daily,

وَتَدوم تونس تاجُ ملكك موئلاً

يَأوي إِلَيهِ مِن الصَفا أَعوانه

But adorned with the beauty of gratitude to you,

O king of the times, his court.

ما ازداد مَجدي بامتداحك رفعةً

يُومي إِلَيهِ بحوزها نيشانه

وَاِزدان تَشريفاً بحسن تشكُّرٍ

لَكَ يا مَليكَ زَمانِه دِيوانُه
