يا أميرَ المُؤمنينَ المُرتَضَى

مَن لِدينِ الله سيفٌ مُنتَضَى

O Prince of the Believers, O Most Pleasing One

Who wields the sword of Allah's religion

هذِه الأمةُ تَسعَى نَحوَكُم

بِقلُوبٍ ملأت رَحبَ الفَضا

This nation strives towards you

With hearts that have filled the vastness of space

أفعمت حُبا وإخلاصا لكم

فَرضُ عينٍ وله الكلُّ قضى

They have done you sincere love and loyalty

An obligation of the eye, and to it let all yield and submit

زَمنُ الأفراحِ والبُشرَى أتَى

وتولَّى اليأسُ عنَّا وانقَضَى

The time of joy and good news has come

And despair has turned away from us and vanished

يومُ عيدِ العرشِ يومٌ مُشرِقٌ

نورُه شَرقا وغَربا قد أضَا

The day of the Festival of the Throne is a radiant day

Its light has shone in the east and the west

هوَ يومٌ خَصَّه اللهُ بكُم

لم ينَله غيرُكم مِمَّن مَضَى

It is a day that Allah has specially blessed through you

None before you has attained it from those gone by

وله سِرٌّ إذا استَجلَيتَهُ

لكَ يبدُو مثلُ بَ

It has a mystery which if you ponder

Will become as clear to you as the mid-morning sun

قد شفَى قلبَ صَديقٍ صَادِقٍ

والعِدَا قلبَهُمُ قد أَمرَضا

It has healed the heart of a sincere, loyal friend

While the hearts of enemies it has made sick

ولقد جِئتُكُمُ مُرتجياً

مِنكمُ أن تَقبلُوني بالرِّضَى

And so I come to you hopeful

That you accept me with pleasure

دُمتَ في العلياءِ بدرا كامِلا

يا أميرَ المُؤمِنين المُرتَضَى

May you remain perfectly full, like the full moon

O Prince of the Believers, O Most Pleasing One
