بَرَزْتِ يَا آيَةَ الجَمَالِ فِي

سُورَةِ الحِلْي وَالكَمَالِ

You emerged, O symbol of beauty, in

The chapter of adornment and perfection.

وَرَعْتِنَا يَا وَقَارُ فِيمَا

لَطُفَتْ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّلاَلِ

You graced us, O dignity, with what

Charmed with the temptation of allure.

وَزِدْتَنَا يَا ذَكَاءُ مَعْنًى

فِي زِينَةِ الكَوَاكِبِ المُلاَلِي

You increased us, O intelligence, in meaning

In the ornament of twinkling stars.

فَأَبْدَعَ العَقْلُ الرُّوحَ حِينَ يَبْدُو

وَهْوَ مِنَ الحُسْنِ فِيش مِثَالِ

The mind created the soul when it appears

As an example of beauty.

وَالخُلُقُ الحُرُّ فِي نِظَامٍ

مِنَ الكَرِيمَاتِ فِي الخِصَالِ

And the free character in a system

Of noble traits and ethics.

وَالعِلْمُ يُؤْتَى النُّهى جَنَاهُ

مِنْ كُلِّ حُلْوٍ وَكُلِّ حَالِي

And knowledge is granted success, its bounty

Of every sweet and sublime thing.

رَئِيسَةُ الحَفْلِ مِنْ نِسَاءٍ

مُهَذَّبَاتٍ وَمِنْ رِجَالِ

The head of the gathering of women

Well-mannered and of men

تَضُمُهُمْ نَدْوَةٌ تَجَلَّتْ

فِي صَدْرِهَا آيَةُ الجَّلاَلِ

Brought together in an assembly that revealed

In its heart the sign of majesty.

فَنُخْبَةُ الكَاتِبَاتِ فِيهِ

كَالعِقْدِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِ الَّلآلِي

The elite of writers among them

Like a necklace of the finest pearls.

وَقَارُهُ الرَّأْي مِنْ مَيَامِين

لاَ يُجَارُونً فِي مَجَالِ

The steadfastness of opinion of the resolute

Who cannot be paralleled in their field.

سُبْحَانَ مُعْطِيكِ فَوْقَ مَا

تَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهِ المُنَى الغَوَالِي

Glory to the One who granted you above

What wishes can attain, O sublime one.

جَدُّكِ بَيْنَ الجُدُودِ عَالٍ

وَفِيكِ رَأْيُ الكِرَامِ عَالِ

Your ancestry among the noble ancestors

And in you the opinion of the generous is sublime.
