تَحقَّق وَعْدُ اللّهِ وَاللّهُ أَكْبَرُ

لِيَهْنِئْكُمُ النَّصرُ العَزِيزُ المُؤَزَّرُ

Allah's promise has been fulfilled, and Allah is the Greatest

To give you glad tidings of mighty victory embellished

إِذا كَاثَرَتْكُمْ أَمَّة بِعَدِيدِهَا

فَأُنْتُمْ وَقَدْ وَالاَكُمُ الحَق أَكْثَرُ

When a nation challenges you with its multitude

Yet you, true to your cause, are far greater

وَمَا بَلَغ الغَايَاتِ وَهْيَ بَعِيدَةٌ

بِرَغْمِ العِدَى إِلاَّ الذِي هُوَ أَصْبَرُ

None reaches far goals while they remain distant

Despite the hostility except he who is most patient

جَلَتْ عَنْ سَماءٍ فِي دِمَشْقَ مُغِيرَةٌ

سَحَائِبُ كَانَتْ بِالصَّوَاعِقِ تُمْطِرُ

Over Damascus glowered clouds, stormy and pouring

Spring blossoms wafted, cleansed of the rot once nurtured

وَهَبَّت أَزَاهِيرُ الرَّبِيعِ نَقِيَّةً

جَلاَهَا مِنَ النَّقعِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُنْشَرُ

To God belong a people with resolve and prohibition

Who challenged the calamities of fate till they were liberated

فِللّهِ قَوْمٌ بِالعَزَائِمِ وَالنُّهى

تَحدَّوْا رَزَايَا الدَّهْرِ حَتَّى تحَرَّرُوا

They walked seeking glory, with death the price

And they won it while death watched in shame

مَشوْا فِي ابْتِغاءِ المَجْدِ وَالمَوْتُ دُونَهُ

فَفَازوا بِهِ وَالمَوْتُ خَزْيَانُ يَنْظُرُ

Each answered their conscience's call

The young and the old equal in sacrifice and devotion

وَكُلُّهُمُ لبَّى نِدَاءَ ضَمِيرِهِ

سَوَاءٌ فَتَاهُمْ فِي الفِدَى وَالمُعَمِّرُ

None disappointed nor hesitated to charge

Nor did the commanded excel the commander

فَما خاسَ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ تَرَدَّدَ ذائِدٌ

وَمَا فَضَلَ المَأْمُورَ فِيهِمْ مُؤَمَّرُ

Most generous were their martyrs in their offering

To God - which offering is most virtuous and pure?

وأَكْرَمُهُمْ فِي بَذْلِهِمْ شهَدَاؤُهُمْ

علَى اللّهِ أَيُّ البَذْلِ أَزْكَى وَأَطْهَرُ

Ask them - our living witnesses today of the Heights

Their spirits soar to us, heralding good cheer

سَلُوهُمْ فَهُمْ أَشْهَادُنَا اليَوْمَ مِنْ عَلٍ

وَأَرْوَاحُهُمْ تَرْنُو إِلَيْنَا فَتُبْشِرُ

When a nation fails to immortalize its martyrs

Shed blood merits no glory, spent tears no honor

إِذَا لَمْ تُخَلِّدْ أُمَّة شُهَدَاءَهَا

فَمَا الدَّمُ مَطْلُولٌ وَلاَ الدَّمْعُ يهْدُرُ

Syria prides in what she has achieved

And many others wish today they could boast the same

لِسُورِيَّة فخْرٌ بِمَا هِي أَحْرَزتْ

وغَيْرُ كَثِيرٍ أَنَّها اليَوْمَ تَفْخَرُ

Hama's protectors of the letter "Dhad" celebrate their feast

Villagers and city dwellers alike make feast

وَإِنَّ حُمَاة الضادِ تَشْهَدُ عِيدَهَا

يُعَيِّدُهُ بَادُونَ مِنْهُمْ وَحُضَّرُ

In every heart happiness has built a throne

And every face glows with joy and cheer

وَفِي كلِّ قَلبٍ لِلسُّرُورِ سرِيرَةٌ

وَفِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ لِلسعَادَةِ مَظهَرُ

A feast for Arabism, heralding from the unseen

Future feasts and tidings to be revealed

أَجَلْ هوَ عِيدٌ لِلعرُوبَةِ بَعْدَهُ

تَباشِيرُ أَعْيادٍ مِنَ الغْيبِ تُسْفِرُ

Fine thanks we sincerely bestow

And all fine words and deeds deserve thanks

جَمِيلٌ إِليْكَ الشُّكرُ نُهْدِيهِ خَالِصاً

وَكُلُّ جَمِيلِ القَوْلِ وَالفِعْلِ يُشْكرُ

With brilliant ornaments you've created an icon

Dazzling jewels - a miniaturized icon

بِجِلَّقَ زِينَاتٌ أَقَمْتَ مِثَالَهَا

فَرَاعَ حِلىً وَهْوَ المِثَالُ المُصَغَّرُ

To congratulate you and your country for fulfilling its hopes

Your contribution to its success cannot be denied

لِيَهْنِئْكَ أَنْ فَازَتْ بِلاَدُك بِالمُنى

وَقِسْطُكَ فِي إِنْجاحِها لَيْسَ يُنْكَرُ

You remain one we hope for among its leaders

For its happiness - the present and past are one

وَمَا زِلْتَ مَنْ رَجُّوهُ فِي زُعَمَائِهَا

لإِسْعَادِهَا وَاليَوْمُ بِالأَمْسِ يُقْدَر

Please convey my congratulations to the Grand Sheikh and his company

Sincere wishes that banish doubt wherever derived

أَلاَ أَبْلِغِ الشَّيخَ الرَّئِيسَ وَصَحْبَهُ

تهَانِيءَ تنْفِي الريْبَ مِنْ حَيْثُ تصْدُرُ

The wishes of a people who vowed to be loyal

Nothing makes them fall short on their promise

تَهَانِيءَ قوْمٍ فِي الكِنانَةِ عَاهَدُوا

ولَيْسَ لَهمْ عَنْ عَهْدِهِمْ مُتَأَخَّرُ

They are the embodiment of the royal heart and soul

It is the heart that feels the pangs of hardship

همُ الجِسْمُ وَالقلْبُ المَلِيك وَإِنَّما

شعُورُ الحَنايَا مَا بِهِ القَلْبُ يَشْعُرُ

May the country of the great Farouk prosper

And may neighbors he befriends and aids flourish

لِتَسْعَدْ بِفَارُوق العَظِيمِ بِلادُهُ

وَتَعْتزَّ جَارَاتٌ يُوَالِي وَيَنْصُرُ

And may the eminent statesman live long, he

Who stores glories for a new era to come

وَيَحْيَا الرَّئِيسُ البَاذِخُ القدْرِ إِنهُ

لعَهْدٍ جَدِيدٍ فِي المَفاخرِ يُذْخَر
