لقد سدتَ لمّا سرتَ في منهج القومِ

سبيل الهدى تَهدي إليه على علمِ

When you walked in the path of the people,

You blocked the way of guidance though you knew it well.

وإنّك فينا الأكبريّ الّذي غدت

فتوحاتُه تقضي لعلياه بالختم

Yet to us you are the greatest, you who has become,

With conquests concluding exalted destiny as decreed.
