مرحباً بالحيا لكلِّ جديبٍ

لا عدمنا نواله وظلاله

Greetings of life to every pasture

May we never lack its prosperity and shade

ملك الجود والثنا والمعالي

والسجيَّات كلها والأصاله

The king of generosity, praise, and glories

And all noble qualities and origins

رقمت حلة الرياض فخلنا

أن روضاً قد استعار خلاله

The gown of the gardens has been embroidered

As if a meadow borrowed its textures

وابْتغى الأفق للعلى فحسبنا

أنه يفعل الجواد هلاله

And the horizon sought the heights, so we reckoned

That it mimics the noble crescent

هو أزكى الأنام لا شكَّ فيه

يوم فخر وخيرهم لا محاله

He is the most righteous of people, no doubt

The day of pride and the best of them, no question

جاءَ من صيده السعيد كبدرٍ

ما رأى الطرف في السناء مثاله

He came from his blessed hunt like a full moon

That no eye has seen the like in glory

كم غزال رمى فلو أمكن الشم

س من الخوف ما تسمَّمت غزاله

How many gazelles he shot, if possible to perceive

The scent, the gazelles would have been poisoned by fear

ولعمري لو اسْتجار به الوح

ش ثنى بعد ما اسْتقلت نباله

And by my life if the deer sought refuge in him

It would relax after the arrows lost their zeal

أيد الله ملكهُ ووقاه

وحمى سربه وصان جلاله

May God support his reign and protect him

And guard his herd and preserve his majesty
