وَإِنَّ تَميماً مِنكَ حَيثُ تَوَجَّهَت

عَلى السِلمِ أَو سَلِّ السُيوفِ خِصامُها

Wherever you direct your steps, whether up the staircase or down,

They are the steadfast brothers, the mighty pillar with which

هُمُ الإِخوَةُ الأَدنَونَ وَالكاهِلُ الَّذي

بِهِ مُضَرٌ عِندَ الكِظاظِ اِزدِحامُها

Mudar prevails amid the throng and press of battle.

Hisham, God's best choice for mankind, by whom is dispelled

هِشامٌ خِيارُ اللَهِ لِلناسِ وَالَّذي

بِهِ يَنجَلي عَن كُلِّ أَرضٍ ظَلامُها

From every land the darkness that o'ershadowed it.

And you, for these people after their Prophet,

وَأَنتَ لِهَذا الناسِ بَعدَ نَبِيِّهِم

سَماءٌ يُرَجّى لِلمُحولِ غَمامُها

Are a heaven whence is hoped the cloud to assuage their thirst.

You it is to whom the armies turn their heads,

وَأَنتَ الَّذي تَلوي الجُنودُ رُؤوسَها

إِلَيكَ وَلِلأَيتامِ أَنتَ طَعامُها

And for the orphans you are their food.

To you have needs addressed themselves and hopes cut off their tether,

إِلَيكَ اِنتَهى الحاجاتُ وَاِنقَطَعَ المُنى

وَمَعروفُها في راحَتَيكَ تَمامُها

And kindnesses, in your repose, attained their consummation.
