حديقة الأخبار شاكت فما

ينظر فيها اليوم غير القتاد

The garden of news has withered, so

Today no one looks in it but the mourners,

وعلة استعفاء صدر العلى

ما غادرت في العين غير السهاد

And the reason for the resignation of the Honorable Prime Minister

Has left in the eye nothing but wakefulness.

يفعل رب الملك في ملكه

ما شاء للَه بهذا مراد

The Lord of the kingdom does in His kingdom

What He wills, and to Allah belongs this purpose.

فيا رجال الملك لا تقنطوا

من رحمة اللَه وسلوا العباد

So O men of the king, do not despair

Of the mercy of Allah, and pray to Him.

على أمين اللَه سلطاننا

عبد العزيز الشهم حفظ البلاد

For our trusted one, our Sultan,

Abdulaziz the brave, protector of the country,

والعفو ما نرجوه منه فما

يسر خلق اللَه عزل الفؤاد

And the pardon that we hope from him will not

Sadden the creation of Allah, unsettle the heart.
