مَرحَباً مَرحَباً بِخَيرِ إِمامٍ
صيغَ مِن جَوهَرِ الخِلافَةِ بَحتا
Welcome, welcome to the best leader
Welcome, welcome to the most excellent Imam,
Molded from the essence of the Caliphate itself
Fashioned purely from the very essence of the Caliphate.
يا أَمينَ الإِلَهِ يَكلَأُكَ اللَ
هُ مُقيماً وَظاعِناً حَيثُ سِرتا
O trustee of God, may God protect you
O Trustee of the Divine, may God protect you,
Staying firm and zealous wherever you went
Whether settled or journeying, wherever you may roam.
إِنَّما الأَرضُ كُلُّها لَكَ دارٌ
فَلَكَ اللَهُ صاحِبٌ حَيثُ كُنتا
The whole earth is just a home for you
For indeed, the entire earth is a home unto you,
So God is with you wherever you are
And God is your companion wherever you are.
يا شَبيهَ المَهدِيِّ جوداً وَبَذلاً
وَشَبيهَ المَنصورِ هَدياً وَسَمتا
O you who resemble Al-Mahdi in generosity and giving
O likeness of al-Mahdi in generosity and giving,
And resemble Al-Mansur in guidance and loftiness
And likeness of al-Mansur in guidance and dignified bearing.
