تفديك الولاة بكل والٍ

كريمٍ جاء في زمنٍ بخيل

The governors ransom you with every generous

One who came in a stingy time

رددت على البلاد مُلِثَّ غيثٍ

نأى عنها وعجَّل بالرحيل

You brought back to the country the abundant rain

After avoiding it and hastening to depart

وما قدر الملثِّ وأنت بحرٌ

يقوم لدى البلاد بألف نيل

And you could not appreciate the abundant one while you are a sea

That stands by the country with a thousand Niles

سموت كما سمعنا كل سامٍ

وآمنّا بأنك خير قيل

You rose high as we heard every high-minded one

And we believed you are the best said

وزدت وقد رآك الطرف حسناً

كزيد الخيل ممدوح الرسول

And you increased, after the eyes saw you good

Like the increased horses, praised by the Messenger

فظلَّ جنان سوريا ينادي

قبولي كلُّ ما يرضى قبولي

So the gardens of Syria remained calling out

My acceptance of all that pleases acceptance
