يا أَيُّها الطَودُ المَنيعُ الأَيهَمُ

يا أَيُّها البَطَلُ الكَمِيُّ المُعلَمُ

O you firm, tall, and splendid mountain,

O you perfect, brave, and glorious hero,

ها أَنَّ لي عِندَ اللَيالي حاجَةً

بَعُدَت مَنالاً وَاللَيالي تَكؤُمُ

I have a need in the nights that has become

Unattainable, while the nights are getting darker,

وَالفَضلُ يَأبى أَن تَفوتَ لُبانَةٌ

وَأَبو مُدافِعٍ الشَفيعُ الأَكرَمُ

Excellence refuses an opportunity to be missed,

The interceder and most generous defender.

فَاِمنُن بِها يَدَ نِعمَةٍ يُزهى بِها

مِن غِرَّةٍ هَذا الزَمانُ الأَدهَمُ

So bestow it with a hand of blessing to be adorned with it

From the innocence of this miserable time,

وَاِسلَم بِمُعتَرِكِ الفَوارِسِ وَالظُبى

تَحني قِراعاً وَالعَوالي تُحطَمُ

And submit to the battlefield of knights and wild beasts

Bending its necks while the highlands are crushed.
