لَكِ البُشرى بقربك مِن مَليكٍ

أَضاءَ بِنُوره أُفق التَهاني

You bring glad tidings in your proximity to the King

His light has illuminated the horizons of felicitations

وَمدَّ عَلى الأَنام ظَلالَ عَدلٍ

بِتَوفيق يَدوم مَدى الزَمان

And spread over people the shades of justice

With lasting success as long as time continues

وَقلَّد مِنكَ جيدَك دُون سؤلٍ

برتبتك الَّتي مِن صنف ثاني

And conferred upon you, without asking, a necklace

Of a rank that is of another genre

فَقم بِالواجبات لَهُ عَلى ما

حَباك مِن الوَلاء كَما حَباني

So carry out your duties to him as

The loyalty with which He has gifted me dictates

وَقُل مَجدي عَليك الدَهر يُثني

بِما يَحلو بِهِ نغم المَثاني

And say, “My glory upon you time celebrates”

With what sweetens the melody of poems
