الحَمدُ لِلَهِ الَّذي قَد شَرَّفا

قَومي وَأَعلاهُم مَعاً وَغَطرَفا

Praise be to Allah, who has honored

My people, raised them high together and singled them out.

قَد سَبَقوا بِالمَجدِ مَن تَعَرَّفا

مَجداً تَليداً واصِلاً مُستَطرفا

They have surpassed in glory those who boasted,

An enduring, continuous glory that captivates.

لَو أَنَّ أَنفَ الريحِ جاراهُم هَفا

وَصارَ عَن مَسعاتِهِم مُخَلَّفا

If the wind were to blow in their faces

And remain behind their hearing,

كَفَوا إِساةَ السَيِّ مَن تَكَلَّفا

كانوا لِأَهلِ الخافِقَينِ سَلَفا

They would suffice to replace the evils of those who pretended

And would be pioneers for the pure of heart.

وَأَصبَحوا مِن كُلِّ خَلق خَلَفا

هُم أَنجُمٌ وَأَبدُرٌ لَن تُكسَفا

They have become the successors of all mankind.

They are stars and full moons that will never be eclipsed.

وَمَوقِفٌ في الحَربِ أَسنى مَوقِفا

أُسدٌ تَهُدُّ بِالزَئيراتِ الصَفا

A stance in war, the finest stance,

Lions that roar with sublime roars

تُرغِمُ مِن أَعدائِهِنَّ الأُنُفا

وَتَدفَعُ الدَهرَ الَّذي قَد أَجحَفا

That force their enemies’ noses in the dust

And repel the unjust times.

لَو عُدَّ أَدنى جودِهِم لَأَضعَفا

عَلى البِحارِ وَالسَحاب اِستَرعَفا

If the least of their generosity were counted,

It would overwhelm the seas and the clouds.
