أنا ملْعَبُ الوصْلِ الذي يشرَحُ الصّدْرا

وبُرْجُ سَماءٍ يجْمَعُ الشّمْسَ والبَدْرا

I am the game of union that gladdens the chest,

And a tower of sky that brings together sun and moon.

حَفيظٌ على الأسْرارِ حتّى كأنّني

دُعيتُ سَريراً أنّني أحفَظُ السِّرّا

A keeper of secrets as if I were called

A bed to keep the secret.

إذا ما أجَلْتَ العيْنَ بينَ بَدائِعي

وشاهَدْتَ حُسْناً يُذْهِلُ العَقْلَ والفِكْرا

When you gaze upon my marvels

And witness beauty that dazzles the mind and thought,

وقد مُدَّ سِتْرُ التِّبْرِ فوقي وأرسَلَتْ

يدُ اليُمْنِ والتّوْفيقِ منْ تحْتِهِ سِتْرا

And the veil of honor has been spread over me, and

The hand of prosperity and success cast a veil beneath it,

رأيْتَ جَواداً لا يَخافُ عِثارُهُ

ومرْكَبَ سَعْدٍ لا يَجوعُ ولا يَعْرى

You see a steed that does not fear stumbling,

And a mount of bliss that neither hungers nor strips bare.

كأنّي رياضٌ زارَها واكِفُ الحَيا

فألْبَسَها وَشْياً وطيَّبها نَشْرا

As if I were a garden visited by the rain of life

So it clothed it in vegetation and sweetened it with blossoms.

وثامِنُ أمْلاكِ الجِهادِ أقامَني

فألْبَسَني عِزّاً ورفّعَ لي قَدْرا

And I am the eighth of the realms of jihad, it established me

So it clothed me in honor and elevated my worth.

ويَسْتَعْبِدُ الأحْرارَ جُودُ يَمينِهِ

ويُخْجِلُ وجْهُ الشّمْسِ غُرَّتَهُ الغَرّا

The generosity of its right hand enslaves the free,

And the radiance of its sun outshines the red rose.

ولازالَ نَصْريَّ العُلا رائِقَ الحُلَى

يُصاحِبُ جيشَ النّصْرِ رايَتُهُ الحَمْرا

My victorious, sweet aid of the sublime

Still accompanies the army of victory, its banner red.

ولازِلْت أفْقاً للقِبابِ ومَطْلَعا

يُريكَ البُدورَ الغُرَّ والأنْجُمَ الزُّهْرا

And I remain a horizon for domes and a rising place

That shows you the bright full moons and the blossoming stars.

إذا ما دَنا الإمْساءُ حُيِّيتَ بالمُنى

ومهْما أتى الإصْباحُ حُيّيتَ بالبُشْرى

Whenever night draws near I greet with wishes

And whenever dawn comes I greet with good news.
