زَارَنِي صُبْحاً وَحَيَّى

بَاسِمٍ طَلقَ المُحَيا

He visited me one morning and greeted

With a smiling face that shone brightly

قَالَ يَا بُشْراً فَقلْتَ البِشْـ

ـرُ أَنْ جِئْتَ إِلَيَّا

He said: O you who brings good news! I replied: The good news

Is that you came to me

مُنْذ أَقْبَلْتَ فؤادي

شَامَ سَعداً وَتَهَيَّا

Since you arrived, my heart

Has been filled with joy and liveliness

قَالَ قَدْ أَسْدَى عَزيزُ

القطْرِ إِنْعاماً سنِيَّا

He said: The precious one from

Qatar has bestowed favors for years to come

شَرَفُ الإِكْرَامِ مِنَّا

وَالأَجَلِّ الأَلمَعِيَّا

Honoring others is characteristic of us

As is our most brilliant lineage

قلْت زَادَ اللهُ مَنْ تَعـ

ـنِيهِ عِزاً وَرُقِيَّا

I said: May God increase the one you mean

In honor and advancement

ورَعَى الحُرَّ المُفَدى

وَرَعَى البِرَّ الوَفِيَّا

And protect the free and noble one

And the loyal and righteous one

الَّذِي يَبتَكِرُ الفَخْرَ

ابْتِكَاراً عَبْقَرِيَّا

He who strives for excellence early

With natural genius

يَلبَسُ الرِّفْعَة لبْساً

حَسَبِيّاً نَسَبِيَّا

Wears nobility and pedigree

With pride and ancestry

يَا رِفَاقَ الخَيْرِ هَذَا

نَبَأٌ سَرَّ وَأَحْيَا

O comrades of goodness, here is

News that delighted and revived

أَنْشِدُوا وَأَعْيُنُ تُحَيِّي

رُتْبَةَ المَجْدِ وَيَحْيَى

Recite poetry while eyes greet

And pay tribute to the rank of glory and life
