تبارك نصر بالبطولات شاهد

وعيد به عاد الأمير المجاهد

Blessed is Nasr with heroic deeds, witnessed

Blessed is a victory witnessed by heroic deeds,

And Eid has returned with the prince, the fighter

And a festival in which the struggling Prince has returned.

تبارك عيد النصر عاد بآية

كآية (عيسى) ما لها اليوم جاحد

Blessed is the victory day, it has returned with a sign

Blessed is the festival of victory that returned with a miracle,

Like the sign of Jesus, undisputed today

Like the miracle of Jesus, which none can deny today.

رفات كريم للممات مفارق

وميت عظيم للحياة معاود

The remains of the noble departed from death

The remains of a noble soul departing from death,

And the great dead returned to life

And a great departed one returning to life.

رفات على نعش وإن قلت واصفا

مليك على عرش فما أنت حائد

The remains on a bier, though you describe

Remains upon a bier, yet if you described them

A king on a throne, you are not mistaken

As a king upon a throne, you would not be straying from the truth.

أرى الطالع الميمون ألف شملنا

بقائدنا الأعلى وخاب المباعد

I see the auspicious rising united us

I see that the auspicious fortune has united our ranks

With our supreme leader, and the estrangement has failed

Through our Supreme Leader, while the divider has failed.

ألا يا عهود الفخر والمجد أقبلي

وعودي (فعبد القادر) اليوم عائد

Oh eras of pride and glory, come

O eras of pride and glory, come forth,

And bring back Abdelkader today returning

And return, for Abdelkader is returning today.

لقد عاد محمولا على الهام عاليا

تبايعه الأيدي وتحمي السواعد

He has returned carried high on glory

He has returned, borne high upon heads,

With hands pledging allegiance and arms protecting

Pledged allegiance by hands and protected by strong arms.

وترمقه كل العيون فركبه

تنافس محسود عليه وحاسد

And all eyes gaze at him, so he rode

Every eye gazes upon him, for his procession

Envied for it, coveted and resented

Is a rivalry between the envied and the envier.

وحيا فحيت دولة عربية

كما كان يرجو بعثها ويناشد

And the nation greeted alive, he lived

He greeted, and an Arab state greeted him in return,

As the home welcomes the worshipper

Just as he had hoped and pleaded for its resurrection.

فقائدها الثوري قائد ركبه

ومجلسها الثوري للامن ماهد

It thundered with Takbeer from all sides

Its revolutionary leader leads his procession,

As thunder roared in the horizon with clouds

And its Revolutionary Council paves the way for security.

ومن جيشها الشعبي للركب حارس

أمين وحام للنظام مساند

So hello and welcome to the prince gloriously

And from its Popular Army stands a trustworthy guard

Protecting him, dear, and time an ally

For the procession, a protector supporting the order.

يؤدي التحايا بالسلاح وفوقه

لواء هلالي إلى الجو صاعد

And hello and welcome, you are the most generous visitor

Rendering salutes with arms, while above him

To us, who in this age is like you, a visitor?

A crescent banner ascends into the sky.

يصفق ترحيبا به وهو راقص

طروب من البشرى به متواجد

And hello and welcome, your land today is free

It flutters in welcome to him, dancing,

Your army victorious and your people guided

Joyful with the good tidings, overcome with ecstasy.

وخف إلى استقباله الشعب مكبرا

مجلا كما يستقبل البيت عابد

For you, a revolution has passed in Algeria's land

The people hastened to receive him, magnifying God,

Our history boasts of it and glories

Revering him as a worshiper reveres the Holy House.

يجلجل بالتكبير من كل جانب

كما جلجلت في الأفق مزن رواعد

It provoked the invaders with fierce raids

The chants of greatness resound from every side,

And havoc with campaigns you lead

As thunderous clouds resound across the horizon.

فأهلا وسهلا بالأمير مشرفا

حماه عزيزا والزمان مساعد

And entered the battle's fray defending the religion

Welcome to the Prince who honors us,

Enduring its afflictions that you endured

His sanctuary is mighty, and time is favorable.

وأهلا وسهلا أنت أكرم وافد

علينا ومن في العصر مثلك وافد؟

So you found in it, Nasir al-Din, an adornment

Welcome, for you are the noblest guest

With it in the field of courage, your father armed you

To come to us; who in this age is a guest like you?

وأهلا وسهلا أرضك اليوم حرة

وجيشك منصور وشعبك راشد

And many a field of knighthood you have graced

Welcome, your land is free today,

And under you, a hunting ground for lions

Your army is victorious, and your people are rightly guided.

مضت لك في أرض الجزائر ثورة

يباهي بها تاريخنا ويماجد

You charged through it like an arrow above it leaping

You led a revolution in the land of Algeria

Frightening the critic of valor, appraising you

Of which our history boasts and glorifies.

أغرت على الغازين غارات شدة

وبأس بحملات لها أنت قائد

And many a position for negotiation you took

You launched fierce raids against the invaders,

Your word heard and your opinion prevailing

With might in campaigns that you commanded.

وخضت غمار الحرب للدين ناصرا

تكابد من ويلاتها ما تكابد

You reached with it the peace you sought, but plots

You plunged into the depths of war to support the faith,

Soured it with your opinion, though ambitions resisted

Enduring its woes as only you could endure.

فلقيت فيها (ناصر الدين) حلية

بها في مجال البأس حلاك والد

If surrendering dragged on, wounding us

Thus you earned the title "Defender of the Faith,"

The liberation front would bandage the wound

An ornament with which your father adorned you in the field of valor.

ورب مجال للفروسة جلته

وتحتك نهد للأوابد صائد

You were its leader in yesterday's revolution

Many a field of horsemanship you traversed,

And you are its pioneer in today's revolution!

With a strong steed beneath you, a hunter of wild game.

مرقت به كالسهم تعلوه واثبا

فهابك خصم للفروسة ناقد

Your banner tied to its same banner

You shot through on it like an arrow, leaping high,

It has none but your jihad binding it

Feared by every foe who judges horsemanship.

ورب مقام للتفاوض قمته

وقولك مسموع ورأيك سائد

You alone are two sultans, past and present

Many a negotiation table you presided over,

And two glories in life, charming and lasting

Where your word was heard and your opinion prevailed.

بلغت به الصلح الذي رمت ورده

برأيك لكن كدرته المكائد

The revolutionary council regarded your covenant

You achieved the peace you sought to reach

For your return, a day whose memory is immortal

Through your judgment, yet plots and schemes muddied its waters.

ثبت ولكن خانك الجد عاثرا

فعاقك واستعصت عليك المقاصد

It returned you honored to the beloved homeland

You stood firm, but stumbling fortune betrayed you;

As a sword returns to its sheath, polished

It hindered you, and your goals became out of reach.

اذا طال باستسلامك المر جرحنا

فمن جبهة التحرير للجرح ضامد

So you found in Algeria’s land a nation

If our wound festered long due to your bitter surrender,

That has slept, and in its hands are the reins of power

The Liberation Front has now come as a bandage for that wound.

وكنت لها في ثورة الأمس قائدا

وأنت لها في ثورة اليوم رائد!

It overthrew the rule of the tyrant and crushed

You were its leader in the revolution of yesterday,

His chains, and injustice inevitably vanished

And you are its pioneer in the revolution of today!

لواؤك معقود بنفس لوائها

وليس له الا جهادك عاقد

The usurper who exiled you with his tyranny has gone

Your banner is knotted with the very soul of its banner,

Like an arrogant tyrant who thought you were finished

And nothing binds it but your holy struggle.

فحسبك سلطانان ماض وحاضر

ومجدان في الدنيا طريف وتالد

It planted in it late ripening crops

Suffice it that you hold two authorities, past and present,

And here you are, in the aftermath, harvesting your crops

And two glories in this world, the new and the ancient.

رعى المجلس الثوري عهدك فاصطفى

لعودك عيدا يوم ذكراه خالد

The Revolutionary Council honored your covenant and chose

For your return a festival whose memory shall be eternal.

الى الوطن المحبوب ردك مكرما

كما رد صمصاما إلى الغمد غامد

It returned you to the beloved homeland with honor,

As a warrior returns a sharp sword to its scabbard.

فألفيت في أرض الجزائر أمة

نممت وبأيديها تساس المقالد

You found in the land of Algeria a nation

That you nurtured, now holding the reins of power in its own hands.

أطاحت بحكم المستبد وحطمت

سلاسله والظلم لابد نافد

It overthrew the tyrant's rule and smashed

His chains, for injustice is bound to perish.

جلا غاصب أجلاك عنها ببغيه

كما باد طاغ ظن أنك بائد

The usurper who exiled you with his tyranny has departed,

Just as the tyrant who thought you were finished has perished.

زرعت بها زرعا تأخر طيبه

وها أنت في العقبى لزرعك حاصد

You planted a seed there whose fruit was delayed,

But here, in the end, you are harvesting what you planted.
