إِنَّ الخِلافَةَ لَم تَزَل

تَزهو وَتَفخَرُ بِالأَمينِ

Verily, the Caliphate has never ceased

To flourish and take pride in Al-Amin;

وَتَحِنُّ مِن شَوقٍ إِلَي

هِ حَنينَ دائِمَةِ الحَنينِ

And it yearns for him with the longing

Of one whose yearning is unceasing.

بَدرُ الأَنامِ مُحَمَّدٌ

أَخَذَ المَكارِمَ بِاليَمينِ

Muhammad, the Full Moon of all mankind,

Who has seized all virtues with his right hand;

وَاِبنُ الخَلائِفِ وَالَّذي

سَبَقَت بِهِ طيبُ الغُصونِ

The son of Caliphs, he through whom

The goodness of the noble branches has excelled.

جاءَت بِهِ اِبنَةُ جَعفَرٍ

قَمَراً جَلا ظُلَمَ الدُجونِ

The daughter of Ja'far brought him forth,

A moon dispelling the shadows of the gloom.

مَهدِيَّةٌ خَيرُ النِسا

ءِ كَذا اِبنُها خَيرُ البَنينِ

Of Mahdi's line, she is the best of women,

Just as her son is the best of sons.

فَاللَهُ يُبقيهِ وَيُب

قيها لَنا حِقَبَ السِنينِ

So may God preserve him, and preserve

Her for our sake, through epochs of years.
