بِعِيدِ السُّعُودِ وَخَفقِ البُنُودِ

وَقَودِ الجُنُودِ وَعِزِّ الدُّوَلِ

With pride and fluttering flags unfurled,

With troops and power and kingdoms' might,

غُلاَمٌ أَتَاكُم يَشُدُّ عُلاَكُم

بِبِيضِ الصُّفَاحِ وَسُمرِ الأَسَلِ

A youth has come to brace your world,

With whitest dawn and blackest night.

يَهَشُّ إِلَيهِ سَرِيرُ الأَمِيرِ

وَصَدرُ النَّدِيّ إِذا مَا احتَفَلَ

To him the throne and prince incline

And elders' breasts when ceremonies throng.

بِأَمنٍ وَيمُنٍ وَدُنيَا وَدِينٍ

بَنَجلس كَرِيمٍ وَمَجدٍ كَمُلَ

With peace and right and world benign,

A glorious reign, complete and long.

وَعيدٍ جَدِيدٍ وَظِلٍّ مَدِيدٍ

وَهَصرِ الأَمَانِي وَنَيلِ الأَمَلِ

With new days and shade that shall not fail,

Fruition of all hopes that hail The turning spheres where suns prevail,

أَقَامَ الزَّمَانُ بِهِ مَيلَهُ

وَحَلَّت بِهِ الشَّمسُ بُرجَ الحَمَلِ

Beneath the Ram, the Flocks, the Scales.
