أَمَوْلاَيَ دُمْتَ الدَّهْرَ مَنْصُورَ أَعْلاَمِ
بِتَاسِعَةِ السَّاعَاتِ عَجَّلْتُ إِعْلاَمِي
My master, you have remained victorious banners
By the ninth hour, I hastened my banners
لِتَعْلَمَ رَكْبَ اللَّيْلِ أَيْنَ رِكَابُهُ
فَقَدْ دَخَلَتْ لِلْغَرْبِ مُلْتَفَّ آجَامِ
That the riders of the night may know where their mounts are
For the sun has entered the west, wrapped in darkness
خَصَصْتُكَ يَا مَوْلَى الْمُلُوكِ بِخِدْمَتِي
وَإِنْ كَانَتِ الأَفْلاَكُ مِنْ بَعْضِ خُدَّامِي
I singled you out, O master of kings, with my service
Though the planets are among some of my servants
لَقَدْ طَابَ مِنْ مثْوَاكَ فِي البِرِّ مّشْهَدٌ
غَدَا الْحُسْنُ فِيهِ ذَا فُنُونٍ وَأَقْسَامِ
Indeed, your dwelling in righteousness has become pleasant
Beauty therein has become of diverse kinds and divisions
مَتَى مَا تَرَّقَ الْعَيْنُ فِيهِ تَسَهَّلَتْ
فَمِنْ أَسَدٍ حَامٍ وَمِنْ عَمَدٍ سَامِي
Whenever the eye relaxes in it, it is facilitated
By both ferocious lion and towering pillar
أَمَوْلايَ دُمْ لِلْحَقّ تُعْلِي بِنَأَهُ
وَلِلْمُلْكِ تَبْدُو مِنْهُ فِي الأُفْقِ السَّامِي
My master remain for the truth, elevating by virtue of it
And for the kingdom, appearing lofty in the high horizon
وَكُنْ وَاثِقاً باللهِ فِي كُلِّ وِجْهَةٍ
يُتِمُّ عَلَيْكَ الْفَضْلَ أَحْسَنَ إِتْمَامِ
And be certain in God in every course
He will perfect upon you the greatest perfection
فَمَهْمَا سَلَلْتَ السَّيْفَ أَمْضَاهُ حُكْمُهُ
وَمَهْمَا رَمَيْتَ السَّهْمَ كَانَ هُوَ الرَّامِي
So whatever sword you unsheathe, its judgment will be decisive
And wherever arrow you shoot, it will be the shooter
وَلاَ تَغْتَرِرْ يَوْماً بِخَادِعِ زُخْرُفٍ
فَإِنَّ وُجُودَ النُّورِ أَضْغَاثُ أَحْلاَمِ
And do not be fooled one day by the ornaments of deceit
For the existence of light is but delusions and dreams
وَكُنْ نَحْوَ نُورِ الْحَقِّ تَعْشُو فكُلُّ مَا
سِوَاهُ فَحُجْبٌ مِنْ ظِلاَلٍ وَأَوْهَامِ
And be oriented to the light of truth rising
For all else is but shades and illusions
