باريت في شوط الشجاعة رستما

أكلاكما فنَّ الأسود درستما

You strode like Rostam in the field of bravery

Learning the art of lions, you were well-trained

زال ابن زال وعاد باسمك سالماً

فاستجهل الدرزيُّ فيك المسلما

Gone is the son of gone, and with your name intact you’ve returned

The Druse wrongly judged the Muslim in you

بوركت من جبل تسلَّم مثله

جبلاً تباركه ملائكة السما

Blessed is the one from the mountain that submitted like it

A mountain blessed by the angels of the sky

حاك الغمامُ له الثلوجَ سوابغاً

وحباه من قوس التقية مخذما

The clouds wove thick snow for it

And endowed it with the bow of piety and glory

وُلِّيتَه فسما بما أوليته

ونما وصار الخير فيه عرمرما

You were appointed and soared with what you were appointed

And grew and goodness in you became abundant

وغدا بأي الخصب يحمد ساكتاً

فاودع نداك الساكت المتكلما

With which prosperity does it silently praise in the morning

Entrusting your call to the silent speaker

للَه درك من حليف سياسةٍ

لو ساس عرجون الهلاك تقوما

God bless you, what an ally of politics

If it ruled the lame, they would stand

كاد التوحش والفساد بعدله

وحبى البلاد تمدُّناً وتقدُّما

Savagery and corruption almost prevailed with its justice

And the countries were adorned with civilization and progress

فجنى الثناء مجملاً ومفضلاً

وحوى الهناء مكملاً ومتمما

It reaped universal and preferential praise

And contained perfect and complete glory
