أَعيدوا مَجدَنا دُنيا وَدينا

وَذودوا عَن تُراثِ المُسلِمينا

Restore our glory in life and religion

And defend the heritage of Muslims

فَمَن يَعنو لِغَيرِ اللَهِ فينا

وَنَحنُ بَنو الغُزاةِ الفاتِحينا

So who cares for other than Allah among us

While we are the sons of the conquering openers

مَلَكنا الأَمرَ فَوقَ الأَرضِ دَهراً

وَخَلَّدنا عَلى الأَيّامِ ذِكرى

We ruled the command above the earth for an era

And we immortalized the memory on the days

أَتى عُمَرٌ فَأَنسى عَدلَ كِسرى

كَذَلِكَ كانَ عَهدُ الراشِدينا

A time came that forgot the justice of Chosroes

That was the era of the Rightly-Guided

جَبَينا السُحبَ في عَهدِ الرَشيدِ

وَباتَ الناسُ في عَيشٍ رَغيدِ

We gathered the clouds in the days of Ar-Rashid

And people lived in comfort and abundance

وَطَوَّقَتِ العَوارِفُ كُلَّ جيدِ

وَكانَ شِعارُنا رِفقاً وَلينا

And virtues crowned every excellence

And our motto was softness and flexibility

سَلوا بَغدادَ وَالإِسلامَ دينُ

أَكانَ لَها عَلى الدُنيا قَرينُ

Ask Baghdad and Islam was its religion

Did it have a match in the world

رِجالٌ لِلحَوادِثِ لا تَلينُ

وَعِلمٌ أَيَّدَ الفَتحَ المُبينا

Men firm against tribulations do not bend

And knowledge supported the clear conquest

فَلَسنا مِنهُمُ وَالشَرقُ عانى

إِذا لَم نَكفِهِ عَنَتَ الزَمانِ

So we are not from them and the East suffered

If we do not spare it the hardship of time

وَنَرفَعُهُ إِلى أَعلى مَكانٍ

كَما رَفَعوهُ أَو نَلقى المَنونا

And raise it to the highest position

As they raised it or we meet demise
