مَلَكتَ عَلى طَيرِ السَعادَةِ وَاليُمنِ

وَحُزتَ إِلَيكَ المُلكَ مُقتَبَلَ السِنِّ

You have taken rule amidst the omens of felicity and good fortune,

And gathered the kingdom to yourself in the prime of your youth.

لَقَد طابَتِ الدُنيا بِطيبِ مُحَمَّدٍ

وَزيدَت بِهِ الأَيّامُ حُسناً إِلى حُسنِ

The world has become sweet through the sweetness of Muhammad,

And through him, the days have increased in beauty upon beauty.

وَلَولا الأَمينُ بنُ الرَشيدِ لَما انقَضَت

رَحى الدينِ وَالدُنيا تَدورُ عَلى حُزنِ

Were it not for Al-Amin, son of Al-Rashid, never would have ceased

The millstone of faith and the world turning upon sorrow.

لَقَد فَكَّ أَغلالَ العَناءِ مُحَمَّدٌ

وَأَنزَلَ أَهلَ الخَوفِ في كَنَفِ الأَمنِ

Muhammad has shattered the heavy shackles of hardship,

And settled the fearful within the sanctuary of security.

إِذا نَحنُ أَثنَينا عَلَيكَ بِصالِحٍ

فَأَنتَ كَما نُثني وَفَوقَ الَّذي نُثني

Whenever we extol you with righteous praise,

You are as we praise, and far beyond all that we praise.

وَإِن جَرَتِ الأَلفاظُ مِنّا بِمِدحَةٍ

لِغَيرِكَ إِنساناً فَأَنتَ الَّذي نَعني

And if words of eulogy flow from us,

Directed at another, it is truly you whom we mean.
