برياض تفتخر الرياض على الورى

فشذا اسمه ألقى عليها العنبرا

With gardens Riyadh takes pride before all

As its name an ambergris did spread

ونداه فاض على البلاد فأصبحت

روضاً أريضاً بالسعادة مثمرا

Its voice called and overflowed through the lands

Becoming a fertile meadow of bliss

لو لم يكن ملأ الممالك حكمةً

ما جاده اللَه النظارة منبرا

If the kingdoms were not filled with wisdom

God would not have given it the pulpit to spread

فهو الذي لولا حلاوة عدله

حست العباد السوكران المنكرا

It is he who if not for the sweetness of his justice

The people would have felt the bitter and abhorred

وخلت من الحكم التي ملأت معا

رفه بها الدنيا ومدَّنت القرى

And it would have been devoid of the rule that filled it

Its luxury spread through the lands and built the villages

مولاي أبعدت الخيانة بالتقى

ونشرت أعلام الأمانة في الورى

My Master you have banished treachery with piety

And spread the flags of trustworthiness in the lands

فاسلم لعزم الداخلية صارماً

ولهام حزم الخارجية مغفرا

So bow to the resolute homeland security

And forgive the zeal of foreign security

فهما بدائرة اقتدارك آيةٌ

صغرى وكل الصيد في جوف الفرا

For they are under the orbit of your power a sign

Minor, and all the prey is in the belly of the bowman
