يا حُسنَ رايٍ لِلمَليكِ عَزيزَنا

وَعَلَيَّ لِلمَنافِعِ ساهِرَه

O good counsel for the honored king

And I am awake for his benefit

فَلَكُم لَهُ مِن مِنَّةٍ في مُلكِهِ

أَضحَت لَها كُلُّ المَصالِحِ شاكِرَه

So for him you have a blessing in his kingdom

All interests have become grateful to it

اِن لِعُمرِكَ كَيفَ بِالحَزمِ اِنتَقى

لِسِنّي دائِرَةً لَدَيهِ موقِرَه

Indeed, for your age, how wisely did you choose

An assembly around him that he honors

لَم يُعطِها إِلّا أَميناً صادِقاً

شَهماً هُماماً بِالعُلا ما أَجدَرَه

He did not give it except to a truthful trustee

A courageous protector of the high ranks that befit him

الناسُ خَصَّتهُ بِأَحسَنِ ذِكرِهِ

وَاللَهُ جَمَّلَهُ بِحُسنِ الذاكِرَه

People singled him out with the best mention

And God adorned him with good remembrance

لَم يَعلِ مَنصِبُ في قَضا وادارِهِ

إِلّا وُضوءَ كَمالِهِ قَد نورَه

No position in judiciary and administration

Except that the light of his perfection illuminated it

وَالآَنَ لَمّا حَلَّ يَرفُلُ بِالبَها

في حُلَّةٍ بِسَنا سَناهُ باهِرَه

And now when this crescent rises resplendent

In an attire whose beauty made it brilliant

فَاليَمَنُ قالَ مُكَبِّراً وَمُؤَرِّخا

أَبشِر لِبَدرٍ قَد أَضاءَ الدائِرَه

Yemen said celebrating and recording history

Rejoice for a full moon that illuminated existence
