يا بدرَ تِمٍّ في سماء خلافة

حفَّتْ نجومَ السعد هالةَُ قصرِه

O full moon in the sky of the caliphate

The stars of good fortune have surrounded the halo of his palace

ألبست عبدكَ من ثيابك ملبَساً

قد قصّرت عنه مدارك شكره

You have clothed Your servant with Your clothes

His gratitude falls short of Your favors

ورضاك عنه خيرُ ما ألبسته

فلقد أشاد بجاهه وببرْه

And Your pleasure with him is the best dress You have put on him

For he has built with his status and righteousness

ألبستني أركبتني شرّفتني

أهديتني ما لا أقوم بحصره

You have clothed me, mounted me, honored me

You have granted me what I cannot enumerate

نظري بوجهك وهو أجمل نَيِّرٍ

يُزري على شمس الزمان وبدره

My sight is towards Your face and it is the most beautiful of sights

Outshining the sun of time and its full moon

أعلى وأعظم مِنَّةً لا سيما

وأنا المنعّم في الحضور ببشرِهِ

The highest and greatest blessing, especially

While I am the one favored in his noble presence

لا زلتَ مولّى للملوكِ مؤملاً

وحلاك للإسلام مفخر دهرِهِ

You remain the Master of kings, their hope

And the state of Islam takes pride in his time
