زَمَانٌ جَدِيدٌ وَصُنعٌ جديدُ

ودنيا تَرْوقُ وَنُعْمى تَزِيدُ

A new era and a new craftsmanship

And a world that pleases and prosperity that grows

وغيثٌ يَصُوبُ وعيشٌ يِطيبُ

وَعِزٌّ يدومُ وعِيدٌ يعودُ

And rain that pours and a life that is good

And power that persists and a threat that recurs

ومُلْكٌ يُنِيرُ بِعَبْدِ المليكِ

كَشَمْسِ الضُّحى سَاعَدَتْهَا السُّعُودُ

And a kingdom that illuminates with the servant of the King

Like the mid-morning sun assisted by luck

وَنَصْرٌ كَمَا تَتَمَنَّى الأَمَانِي

وَمَوْلَىً كَمَا يتمنّى العبيدُ

And victory as wishes hope for

And a master as the slaves desire

حَيَاءٌ وَحِلمٌ وفضلٌ وعدلٌ

وعَطْفٌ وَعَفْوٌ وبأسٌ وجُودُ

Modesty, patience, grace, justice

Compassion, pardon, might and munificence

إِذا سِيلَ كاد يذوبُ ارتياحاً

وإِنْ صالَ كادَ يذوبُ الحديدُ

When he attacks, melting with comfort

And if he draws (the sword), the iron melts

فيا خير من وَلَدَتْهُ الملوكُ

وأَكرَمَ من نَصَرَتْهُ الجنودُ

Oh best of those born of kings

And most generous of those the troops have supported

وأَشجعَ من حملته الخيولُ

وأَهيَبَ من رَهِبَتْهُ الأُسودُ

And bravest whom the horses have carried

And most awe-inspiring whom the lions have feared

وأَصمدَ من جَرَّبَتْهُ السيوفُ

وأَجملَ من ظَلَّلَتْهُ البُنُودُ

And most steadfast whom the swords have tested

And most beautiful whom the banners have shaded

ومَنْ هو للمُلْكِ سورٌ منيعٌ

ومن هو للدينِ ركنٌ مَشِيدُ

And he who is for the kingdom an impregnable fortress

And he who is for the religion a towering pillar

تقبَّلْ هدِيَّةَ عبدٍ حَدَاها

لسانٌ شَكورٌ وقلبٌ وَدُودُ

Accept the gift of a servant who fashioned it

With a thankful tongue and an affectionate heart

جواهِرَ من نظمِ حُرِّ الثناءِ

تبيدُ اللَّيالي وَمَا إِنْ تبيدُ

Jewels of poetry of free praise

The nights pass but do not pass away
