أَتَيناكَ زُوّاراً وَوَفداً وَشامَةً

لَخالَكَ خالِ الصِدقِ مُجدٍ وَنافِعِ

We came to you as visitors, a delegation and a mark

For your cheek - cheek of honesty, glory, and benefit

إِلى خَيرِ مَسؤولَينِ يُرجى نَداهُما

إِذا اِختيرَ بِالأَفواهِ قَبلَ الأَصابِعِ

To the best of those whose help is hoped for

When chosen by mouths before fingers
