يا دارُ نِلتِ العِزَّ والتَّكريما
وغدَا مَقامُكِ في الدِيارِ عَظيما
O home, you have attained honor and dignity,
And your dwelling in the lands has become great.
قد كنتِ داراً لامرِئٍ مُترئِّسٍ
لا يعرِف التَّحليلَ والتَّحريما
You were once the home of an arrogant tyrant,
Who knew not right from wrong.
سَلبَ النُّفوسَ مَتاعَها وحياتَها
وأنالَهَا التَّعذيبَ والتَّاليمَا
He robbed souls of their joys and lives,
And afflicted them with torture and suffering,
حتى أتاحَ لكِ الإلهُ سعادةً
إذ صرتِ لِلمسعودِ إبراهيما
Until God granted you good fortune,
When you became Abraham's abode.
وأنالَ وجهَك بهجةً ولَطالما
قد كانَ بالظُّلم الذَّميمِ دميما
For long had your face joy, as long as
That despicable tyrant remained vile.
عُوِّضتِ عن ذاكَ الظَّلومِ مُرابِطاً
مُتَحَيِّزاً لِلمَكرُماتِ كَريما
You were compensated for that oppressor with
A protector of virtues, honorable and generous.
حرا خَبيراً بالأُمورِ مُهَذَّباً
مُتَأَدِّباً رحبَ الجَبينِ فَهيما
Free, wise, refined in manners,
Courteous, serene of brow, and noble.
وهبَ الإلهُ له فُؤاداً نَيِّراً
من كلِّ أدواءِ القُلوبِ سَليما
God granted him a heart pure
Of all illnesses of the soul.
شهماً له في العلمِ حظٌّ وافرٌ
أدنى له المنثورَ والمنظوما
He has abundant fortune in knowledge,
Bringing him prose and verse.
وأنالَه بينَ الرِّجالِ محبَّةً
فتراهُ لِلقومِ الكِرام حَميما
He has won love amongst men,
So you see him intimate with the noble.
يا دارُ يَهنيكِ الذي قد نِلتِ من
عزِّ ويُمنٍ لا يزالُ مُقيما
O home, congratulations on the honor
And prosperity you attained, everlasting.
وحُبِيتِ من أثَرِ الظَّلومِ طهارةً
لما أحَلَّ اللهُ فِيكِ حَكيما
You were cleansed of the trace of oppression
When God settled within you a wise one.
وغدوتِ من بعدِ الدُّثورِ جَديدةً
ومُنحتِ من بعدِ الِّفاء نَعيما
You became anew after destruction,
And were granted bliss after separation.
صدَقَ الذي قد قالَ إنَّ الحَظَّ لا
يُعطى بكُلٍّ الحَالتينِ لُزوما
True is He who said fortune does not
Always persist in both states.
يَعودُ الفتى أغنى الوَرى ولَطالَما
قد باتَ مَنفوضَ الجِراب عَديما
The young man returns richest of all though long he
Slept bankrupt and destitute.
وكُسيتِ في حُلَلِ المَلاحةِ حًلَّةً
زَهراءَ غَادَرَتِ الحَسودَ كَليما
You were clothed in robes of glory, a dress
That left the envious silent and helpless.
وإليكِ قد عادَ الشبابُ مُلاطِفاً
وَتَرحَّلَ الهَرَمُ العنيفُ رَغيما
To you returned youth, caressing,
While feeble old age departed grumbling.
وإليكَ إبراهيمُ تَهنِئَةً كما
بَعَثَ الصباحُ منَ الرياضِ نَسيما
To you, O Abraham, congratulations just as
Dawn sent fragrance from the meadows.
