لَقَد سالَمَتنا صُروفُ الزَمانِ

وَما بَرِحَت قَبلَها عانِدَه

The vicissitudes of time have passed us by

And ceaselessly opposed us before it

وَأَمطَرتَ نَوءَ النَدى دائِماً

فَهُزَّت بِهِ أَرضُنا الهامِدَه

You rained the dew of tenderness unendingly

Shaking our apathetic earth thereby

وَأَسهَرتَ عَينَكَ لِلمَكرُماتِ

فَأَقرَرتَ أَعيُنَنا الهاجِدَه

You kept your eyes open to beneficence

Relieving our humble, downcast eyes

وَأَطفَت حَرارَةَ آمالِنا

مَغانِمُ إِحسانِكَ البارِدَه

The coolness of your kindness has tempered

Our burning hopes with gifts refreshing

وَبَوَّأَكَ الجودُ يَااِبنَ الكِرامِ

نَجائِبَ أَقوالِنا الخالِدَه

Generosity has granted you, O son of nobles

Sanctuary in our immortal words

فَكَم نِعمَةٍ مَدَّها مِثلُها

وَفائِدَةٍ بَعدَها فائِدَه

So many similar blessings have you extended

And benefits thereafter accruing
