دعوتُ اللهَ رَبَّ العرشِ عِلْماً

بأنّ اللهَ يسمعُ للدُّعاءِ

I called upon God, Lord of the Mighty Throne, knowing

That God hears the supplication.

بقاءكَ يا غياث الدين شَهْماً

مُطاعَ الأمرِ منصورَ اللواءِ

May you remain, O Succor of the Faith, intrepid,

Obeyed in command, victorious with banners unfurled.

فإنك إذْ يقيسُكَ ألْمِعَيٌّ

مقامُ الماءِ فينا والهَواءِ

For when they measure you, O Brilliant One,

You are to us as water and air -

إذا فسدا فمهْلِكُ كل شيءٍ

وإن صَحَّا فداعيةٌ البَقاءِ

Should they go bad, then all things perish,

But health in them is the summoner of existence.
