دَعانِي الأَمِيرُ فَلَبَّيْتُهُ

وَلِمْ لا أُلَبِّيكَ يا خَيْرَ داعِ

The prince summoned me, so I obeyed

Why would I not obey you, best caller

فَوافَيْتُ أَزُهَرَ رَحْبَ الذِّراعِ

شَدِيدَ الْمِصاعِ شَريفَ المَساعِي

I came to the most blossomed and vast palace

Of mighty pillars and noble goals

كَرِيمَ الْفَعالِ غَرِيبَ النَّوالِ

غَرِيمَ نِضالِ الْعِدى والْقِراعِ

Of generous deeds and rare gifts

Protector of fighting the enemies and striking with spears

وَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَنْتَجِعُ الأَكْرَمِينَ

فَقُلْ فِي كَرِيمٍ حَداهُ انْتِجاعِي

You were the refuge of the most generous

Say about the generous whose refuge was my seeking

أَشَمْسَ الأَنامِ وَمَوْلى الْكِرامِ

وَتِرْبَ الْغَمامِ وَرَبَّ الزِّماعِ

The sun of mankind and master of nobles

Soil of clouds and lord of flooding rivers

سَاَشْكُرُ ما دُمْتُ فِي الْعالَمِينَ

مَكارِمَ أَحْسَنَّ فِيكَ اصْطِناعِي

I will thank as long as I live

The most generous whose perfecting was my making

أُطيلُ الثَّناءَ عَلى ماجِدٍ

أَطالَ عَلَى نُوَبِ الدَّهْرِ باعِي

I prolong praise of the glorious one

Who prolonged over time's misfortunes my life
