يا اِبنَ حَمدونَ بنِ إِسما

عيلَ وَالجودُ عَقيدُك

O son of Hamdun son of Isma

Nobility and generosity are your creed

وَالعُلا ما شادَ آبا

ؤُكَ قِدماً وَجُدودُك

And sublime is what your fathers built

With their steps and ancestors

وَنَجارُ المَجدِ نَبعٌ

شُقَّ مِن فَرعَيهِ عودُك

And the carpenter of glory is a spring

Cut from its two branches is your rod

عَظُمَت في فَضلِكَ النِع

مَةُ وَاللَهُ يَزيدُك

Greatened in your bounty the bless-

ings and Allah increases you

لا زَكا سَعيُ مُساعي

كَ وَلاّستَعلى حَسودُك

No equal the efforts of your efforts

Nor rise above your envious

أَيُسَوّي بِكَ قَومٌ

وَمَواليهم عَبيدُك

Can a people equate with you

When their clients are your servants
