ردد على السمع يا أبريل ذكراها

ما كان أشرفها ذكرى وأسناها

April, echo her memory in my hearing,

Her most honorable memory and her most radiant one.

في كل قلب لها ذكر ومنزلة

عظمى تجدد فينا ذكر مولاها

In every heart she has a memory and rank,

A great one that renews within us the memory of her Master.

رب الأريكة ملقي التاج وهو له

حيث الإمارة أرضته وأرضاها

Lord of the throne, relinquishing the crown which is His

Where the emirate pleased Him and satisfied Him.

أعطى لأمته الحق الذي طلبت

فعاكسته خصوم الحق أعداها

He gave to his nation the right they sought

So the adversaries of truth opposed her.

فاستنفر الشعب في الخضرا تنازله

كل يسائلها أيان مرساها

The people were roused in anger over his concession

Each asking where her mooring was.

طارت إليه خفافا وهي راجلة

اللّه في الناصر المحبوب الله

She flew to him lightly though on foot.

God is in the victorious beloved of God.

دارت حياله والأبصار شاخصة

ترنو إلى القمر الزاهي بمسراها

She circled around him with staring eyes

Yearning for the shining moon in her delight.

استرجعوا التاج مرفوعا لصاحبه

حيث استحق به الإعزاز والجاه

They regained the crown raised to its owner

Where he deserved with it honor and prestige.

من كان عرشه في أعماق أفئدة

نال السعادة دنياها وأخراها

He whose throne is in the depths of hearts

Attained happiness in this world and the next.

لا ملك إلا بشعب يستقيم به

أس الإمارة ترعاه ويرعاها

No rule but through a people made upright by him

The foundation of rule, he tends it and it tends to him.

نحيي بذكرك في الأملاك مأثرة

يا ناصر الحق إن عدت مزاياها

We celebrate with your memory in the kingdoms an influence

O supporter of truth, enumerating her qualities.

كانت لدولتك الغراء خاتمة

في كل يعام لنا يحييك ذكراها

For your noble state there was a seal

When for us every year revives her memory.
