قُدِ الخيلَ والخيرَ بأْساً وجُودا

وصِلْ أَبَدَ الدهرِ عِيداً فَعِيدَا

Lead horses and goodness with might and generosity,

And bring joy forever, feast after feast,

ودَوْنَكَ فالْبَسْ ثيابَ البقاءِ

فأَخْلِقْ جديداً وأَخْلِفْ جديدا

Apart from you, so wear the clothes of eternity,

And create anew and succeed anew,

مُظاهِرَ مَا أَوْرَثَتْكَ الجدودُ

من الحُلَلِ المُلْبساتِ الجُدُودا

Manifestations of what your ancestors bequeathed to you

Of glorious garments and old virtues,

سَنىً وسَناءً ومُلكاً وملِكاً

وسيفاً وسَيْباً وجَدّاً وجُودَا

Prosperity and glory, kingdom and sovereignty,

And sword and youth and generosity and nobility,

وَمَا نَثَرَتْهُ عَلَيْكَ السُّعودُ

محاسِنَ تبهَرُ فِيهَا السُّعودا

And whatever fortunes showered upon you,

Beauties that dazzle all fortunes,

حُلىً منحت منكَ زُهْرَ النُّجومِ

شُنُوفاً تَحَلَّى بِهَا أَوْ عُقُودا

Adornments that granted you flowers of stars,

Necklaces that adorned them or bracelets,

وأَنْتَ وَسِعْنَ بِهِنَّ الرجالَ

ملابِس فالبَسْ لَهُنَّ الخُلُودا

And you were generous, so dress the men

In eternal clothes, be generous to them,

فَحَوَّلْتَ منها اللُّهى والخيولَ

وعَبَّدْتَ منها المَها والعَبِيدا

So you turned them into horses and necklaces,

And subjugated them into servants and slaves,

وأَلْبَسْتَ فِيهَا الحُلى والدُّروعَ

وأَسْحَبْتَ منها المُلا والبُرُودَا

And dressed them in adornments and coats of mail,

And dragged from them property and carpets,

وكم قَدْ كَسَوْتَ ثيابَ الحِدادِ

بلاداً لبسْتَ إِلَيْها الحديدا

And how many have you clothed in the garb of grief,

Lands you dressed in iron,

فأَشْرقْتَ بالدِّينِ نوراً مُبِيناً

وأَلْحَقْتَ بالشركِ حتفاً مُبِيدا

So you shone with religion, a clear light,

And made paganism meet a destroying end,

كتائِبَ حلَّيْتَهُنَّ السيوفَ

وتَوَّجْتَهُنَّ القَنا والبُنُودا

Battalions you adorned with swords

And crowned with spears and banners,

صوارِمَ بوَّأْتَها فِي الرقابِ

معاهِدَ أَنْسَيْتَهُنَّ الغُمُودا

Swords you stationed in necks,

Covenants made them forget sadness,

كما فَتَقَتْ نَيِّراتُ الصباحِ

تُفَتِّحُ فِي الروضِ روضاً نَضِيدا

As the blades of dawn split open

And reveal a fresh garden in the meadow,

وسُمراً جلوتَ بِهَا للعيونِ

وجُوهَ المهالِكِ حُمْراً وسُودا

And destiny that you used to adorn eyes,

And the faces of destruction red and black,

يُرِينَكَ تَحْتَ سُجُوفِ العجاجِ

نواظِرَ أَنْسَيْتَهُنَّ الهُجودا

Under the quivers of arrows they show you

Gazes that you made forget withdrawal,

مصارِعَ قَرَّبْتَ منها نفوساً

تعاطَيْنَ منها مراماً بعيدا

Arenas that you brought souls near,

To gain from them a distant goal,

فمُلِّيتَهُ عِزَّ نصرٍ وفَلْجٍ

كفيلَ المزيدِ بأن تَسْتَزِيدا

So you filled it with the honor of victory and conquest,

Worthy of giving you more,

وهُنِّيْتَهُ فَتْحَ أَيَّامِ عيدٍ

جديرٍ عوائدُهُ أَن تعودا

And gladdened it with the opening of festive days,

Whose return is worthy of coming back,

ولُقِّيْتَهُ عيْدَ فَأْلٍ بوَعْدٍ

لِنَصْرِكَ يَقْرُو عِدَاكَ الوعيدا

And met it with days of success and promise,

For your victory, fulfilling your threat,

وكم ذَكَّرَتْ منكَ أَيَّامُهُ

مقاماً كريماً وفِعلاً حَميدا

And how many days reminded you

Of a noble stance and good deed,

فَعَشْرُ لياليهِ فضْلاً ونُسْكاً

وعَشْرُ بنانِكَ عُرفاً وَجُودا

For ten of its nights are virtue and ritual,

And ten of your fingers are customary generosity,

ويومُ مِنىً بالمُنى أَيُّ فَأْلٍ

مُفِيدَ الرَّغائِبِ أَوْ مُسْتَفِيدا

And the day of Mina, what great success,

Profiting wishes or gaining them,

وَفِي اليومِ من عَرَفَاتٍ عَرَفْنا

من اللهِ فيما حَباكَ المزيدا

And on Arafat day we recognized

What more God granted you,

وذكَّرَنا مَنْحَرُ البُدْنِ منكَ

مواقِفَ تَنْحَرُ فِيهَا الأُسُودا

And the sacrificial slaughter reminded us

Of your stands where you slaughter lions,

وتكسُو سيوفَكَ فِيهَا الدِّماءَ

وتُوطِئُ خيلَكَ فِيهَا الخُدُودا

And cover your swords with blood there,

And your horses trample cheeks there,

ورَمْيُ الجِمارِ فَكَمْ قَدْ رَمَيْتَ

عن الدينِ شيطانَ كُفْرٍ مَرِيدا

And the stoning of Jamarat, how you stoned

The devil of stubborn disbelief,

معالِمُ شَيَّدَهُنَّ الخليلُ

وأَذَّنَ بالحَجِّ فيها مُشِيدا

Rites the Friend (Abraham) established

And called the people to Pilgrimage there,

فلَبَّاهُ من لَمْ يكُنْ قبلُ خَلْقاً

وأُنشِئَ من بَعْدُ خلقاً جديدا

So he who did not exist before responded,

And one created anew after creation,

رجالٌ أَجابُوا أذانَ الخليلِ

فجابُوا إِلَيْها بِحاراً وَبِيدا

Men who answered the call of the Friend,

So they answered, coming in throngs and alone,

كما عُمِّرَتْ بك سُبْلُ الجِهادِ

جنوداً تَفُلُّ بِهِنَّ الجنودا

As you revived the paths of jihad,

With soldiers who defeat armies,

وجُدْتَ فنادى نَدَاكَ العُفاةَ

وسُدْتَ فنادى عُلاكَ الوُفُودا

You were found so the barefoot called you,

And you were inaccessible, so deputations came to you,

ولا كَوُفودٍ تقبَّلْتَ مِنْهُمْ

وسائِلَ كانوا عَلَيْها شُهودا

And you accepted no means from them,

That they were witnessed to have,

فَحَيَّوْكَ عن كُلِّ مُحْيي الوفاءِ

إِلَيْكَ حياةً تُمِيتُ الحقودا

So they greeted you, all loyal greeters,

With a life that kills rancor towards you,

فكم أَنَّسوا بك شكلاً زَكِيّاً

وأَدْنَوْا إِلَيْكَ صَفِيَّاً بعيدا

So they were charmed by your pure form,

And drew near you, sincere and distant,

وكم وَصَلُوا بك قلباً كريماً

وكم شَرَحُوا لَكَ صدراً وَدُودا

And joined you, a generous heart,

And expressed sympathy to a loving breast,

عهوداً تَضَمَّنَهُنَّ الوفاءُ

بصدقٍ تضمَّنَ منكَ العُهُودا

Loyalties that good faith guaranteed,

With truthfulness you guaranteed covenants,

فلا أَعْدَمَتْكَ ظنونُ اللبيبِ

يقيناً عَلَى كلِّ قلبٍ شهيدا

So opinions of the perceptive did not lack

Certainty in every witnessing heart,

ولا زالَ سيفُكَ فِي كلِّ أَرْضٍ

عَلَى كلِّ غاوٍ رقيباً عَتِيدا

And your sword in every land remains

Upon every transgressor, a vigilant keeper,

ولا زِلْتَ للدِّينِ طَوْداً مُنيفاً

وظلّاً ظليلاً ورُكناً شَدِيدا

And you remained for the religion a lofty pillar,

And a shady shade and firm support,
