أَيَخشى صُروف الدَهر أَصدَق خادم

لِدَولة إسماعيل رَب المَراحمِ

Does the vicissitude of time frighten the most loyal servant

Of the state of Ismail, Lord of Mercy

وَتظلمه الأَيام وَالعيد ناشر

لِواه عَلى الأَوطان في جيش حازم

Though times oppress him when prosperity spreads

Its banners over the lands with a resolute army

وَكَيفَ تُعاديه اللَيالي وَإِنَّهُ

غُلام الحسين الصَدر بَحر المَكارم

And how can the nights oppose him when he is

The young al-Hussein, an ocean of nobility
