فؤاد الملك جالب كل فخرٍ

لنا لا نقَّص اللَه افتخارَهْ

The king's heart brings every pride

For us, God does not detract from his glory

وزيرٌ فاضلٌ برٌّ حليمٌ

قدير أبَّد اللَه اقتداره

A virtuous, righteous, forbearing minister

God made his power everlasting

سراط العدل من نعمى يديه

ومن إحسانه سلْكُ الإشاره

The path of justice from the blessing of his hands

And from his benevolence the gesturing

ومن مثل السراط الكهربائي

لتحسين السياسة والتجاره

And the likes of the electric torch

To improve politics and trade

يمد على الطروس حروف نورٍ

إذا ما مد في الأسلاك ناره

It extends rays of light over the countryside

When it extends its fire through the wires

فلم يبعد عليه نوالُ شيءٍ

كأنَّ الكون أجمع صار داره

So nothing was too far for it to reach

As if the whole universe became its home

تمهَّر باللغات فقلت أرِّخ

كبير الملك خوَّله المهاره

Skilled in languages, I said, record

The great king endowed him with skill
