نُظِمنا نِظامَ العِقدِ وُدّاً وَأُلفَةً

وَكانَ لَنا البَتِّيُّ سِلكَ نِظامِ

We have organized our bond with affection and friendship

And Al-Battiy has strung together our system of pearls

أَخي وَاِبنُ عَمّي وَاِبنُ حَمدٍ فَإِنَّهُ

تَباريحُ قَلبي خاّلِياً وَغَرامي

My brother, cousin, and son of Hamad - he is

The delight of my heart, my intimate friend, and my love

وَسادِسُنا الأَزدِيُّ ما شِئتَ مِن أَبٍ

جَوادٍ وَمِن جَدٍّأَغَرَّ هُمامِ

And our sixth, the Azdi - whatever father you wish

Generous and of noble ancestry - has inspired ambition

أَحاديثُ تَستَدعي الوَقورَ إِلى الصِبا

وَتَكسو حَليمَ القَومِ ثَوبَ عُرامِ

Our conversations invite dignity to youthfulness

And dress the wise one of the people in the garb of nudity

فَنُضحي لَها طَربى بِغَيرِ تَرَنُّمٍ

وَنُمسي لَها سَكرى بِغَيرِ مُدامِ

So we sacrifice the morning for it without singing

And we intoxicate ourselves for it without wine

تَعالَوا نُوَلِّ اللائِمينَ تَصامُماً

وَنَعصِ عَلى الأَيّامِ كُلَّ مُلامِ

Come let us oppose the blamers with determination

And rebel against the days and all faultfinders

وَنَغتَنِمِ الأَوقاتَ إِنَّ بَقاءَها

كَمَرِّ غَمامٍ أَو كَحِلمِ مَنامِ

And let us seize the moments - their remaining

Is like the passing of clouds or a dream's fantasy

مِنَ اللَهِ أَستَبقي صَفاءً يَضُمُّنا

وَطاعَةَ أَيّامٍ وَدارِ مُقامِ

From God I seek to maintain a serenity that unites us

And obedience to the days and an abode of settlement

وَأَستَصرِفُ الأَعداءَ عَنّا فَإِنَّنا

مُذُ اليَومِ أَغراضٌ لِكُلِّ مَرامِ

And I divert the enemies from us, for we

Henceforth are the goal of every purpose
