أفدِي رئيسين قد أطلاَّ

على ذرى المجد والمعالي

My life be the ransom for two leaders who have come into view

upon the peaks of glory and high distinction.

لاقَ بذا قرب ذا فقلنا

ما أليق البدر بالكمال

This one’s nearness to this one was fitting, so we said:

How well the full moon accords with perfection!
