أيَا عُمَرَ الْعَدْلِ الَّذِي مَطَل الْمَدَى
بِوَعْدِ الْهُدَى حَتَّى وَفَيْتُ بِدَيْنِهِ
O Umar, embodiment of justice whose promise
Of guidance was fulfilled till the debt was paid
وَيَا صَارِمَ الْمُلْكِ الَّذِي يَسْتَعِدُّه
لِدَفْعِ عِدَاهُ أَوْ لِمَجْلِسِ زَيْنِهِ
O strict wielder of power, ever ready
To fend off harm or for council arrayed
هَنَتْ عَيْنَكَ الْيَقْظَى مِن اللهِ عِصْمَةٌ
كَفَتْ وَجْهَ دِينِ اللهِ مَوْقِعَ شَيْنِهِ
Your wakeful eye was shielded by God above
And guarded faith from the least shame and sting
وَهَلْ أَنْتَ إِلاَ المُلْكُ وَ الدِّينُ وَالدُّنَى
وَلاَ يُلْبَسُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ بِمَيْنِهِ
For you are naught but religion, rule, and love
And truth gleams bright of any garbing
إِذَا نَالَ مِنْكَ الْعَيْنَ ضُرُّ فَإِنَّمَا
أُصيبَ بِهِ الإِسْلاَمُ فِي عَيْنِ عَيْنِهِ
If your eye is struck by harm, in its vision
Tis Islam itself that is wounded within
