1. حَيِّ سعد الدين جَمّاً مجْدُه

    صارِمَ العَزْمةِ ما فيه فَشَلْ

    Hail Saad al-Din, his glory gathered,

    Firm of purpose, no failing in him,

  2. اِن قرى أو شدَّ في منْعِ حِمىً

    قتلَ الأزْمةَ والخَطْب الجَلَلْ

    If a land attacked or resisted protecting a sanctuary,

    He killed the crisis and the formidable events,

  3. واضِحاً يأتَلِقُ المَجْدُ بهِ

    أبْلَجَ الوجهِ كريم المُسْتظَلْ

    Clearly his glory shines in him

    His face gleams, generous, shaded,

  4. فاعلاً ما لم يقُلْ مِنْ كَرَمٍ

    غيرَ مَنَّانِ وانْ قالَ فَعَلْ

    Doing without pretense what others merely claim of nobility,

    Neither vaunting nor vain speaking, rather acting.
