يا جَواداً مُحْرِزاً سَبْقَ العُلى

والنُّهى جَنَّبكَ اللّهُ العِثارا

O noble steed, you have excelled in attaining glory,

And God has kept you from stumbling into harm.

وحماكَ اللّهُ من صرْفِ الرَّدى

أبداً ما أنْجدَ السَّاري وغارا

God has protected you from the whims of fate,

Never failing to aid those journeying afar.

وبقيتَ الدهرَ موفورَ العُلى

تبذلُ النَّائل أو تحمي الذِّمارا

You have remained through time endowed with glory,

Granting wishes or protecting those in need.

فُقْتَ أبْناءَ المَعالي يافِعاً

وشَأوْتَ القومَ سَعْياً ونِجارا

You were a youth among the noble ones, o valiant,

Excelling your people in strife and endeavor.

وسبقْتَ الرُّمْحَ عَزْماً ماضياً

وفضَلْتَ الطَّوْدَ صبراً ووقَارا

Your resolve has surpassed the spear in action,

And you have excelled the mountains in patience and dignity.

يا سَليمَ القلبِ منْ غِشٍّ يَرى

خُدَعَ الآراءِ آثاماً وعارا

O you whose heart is free of any deceit and sees

The frauds of opinions as sins and disgrace.

والذي يُصْغِرُ ما أجْزَلَهُ

فيرى الرَّدْهَةَ والقَلْتَ البحارا

And he who belittles what you have generously given

Sees paltriness and scarce oceans.

فإذا اسْتَنْزَرَ دَثْراً فائضاً

من حِباءٍ أوسعَ الجودَ اعْتِذارا

So if an abundant cloak is borrowed from you,

Of a love most generous in apologizing its giving.

عَضُدُ الدينِ الذي إِحْسانُهُ

لم يزَلْ في المَحْلِ ودْقاً وقُطارا

The pillar of religion whose benevolence

Has never ceased being sincere and abundant.

وهنَاكَ الصَّومُ والإِفْطارُ ما

أسْفَر الليلُ بأفْقٍ واسْتَنارا

And there is fasting and breakfasting as long as

The night unveils a horizon and lightens.
