رِياض الهَنا بِاليمن فاحَت وُرودها
فَطابَ لِأَرباب الصُدور ورودها
The gardens of bliss in Yemen have blossomed
Its roses have delighted the hearts
وَحيّا دِمَشق الشام صَوب مِن الحَيا
فَأَحيا رُسوم الخصب وَاِخضَرَّ عودُها
And Damascus, the jewel of Syria, has revived
When the breeze of bliss made its trees green again
وَصبَّحها صُبح الهَنا فَتباشَرَت
بَشائر بشر لَيسَ يحصى عَديدها
The dawn of bliss has brightened it
With tidings of joy beyond counting
وَفي طالع الأَفراح مِن أُفق الهَنا
بَدا بَدرُ آفاق العُلى وَسَعيدها
And at the rising of joys on the horizon of bliss
The full moon of sublime realms appeared radiant
قدوم بَدا بِالخَير يا خَير قادم
إِلى بَلَدٍ يَسمو لَبيداً بَليدها
An arrival bearing goodness, O the best arrival
To a country exalted, though long dormant
فَيا بَحر علم وافر كامل الحجا
بَسيط نَدى الأَيدي سَريع مديدها
O ocean of abundant and perfect knowledge
With hands pouring clear dew rapidly
هِيَ الراحة المَبسوطة الراحة الَّتي
يُجيد العَطايا جودها وَوُجودها
It is the outspread comfort, the comfort where
Bounties and existence excel each other
لَكَ اللَه مِن مَولىً بِهِ قَد سَمَت ذرى
سَما الرُتبة العليا وَضاءَت سُعودها
God has appointed you a Master, by whom
The highest rank has reached its zenith, its glory manifested
لعلياك تعزى المكرُمات لِأَنَّها
تحلّى بدرٍّ مِن سَجاياك جيدها
Your glories are attributed, for you
Are adorned by a full moon of your features
فَإِن عُدَّ أَهل المَجد كُنت عِمادها
وَإِن عُدَّ أَهل الفَضل أَنتَ عَميدها
If the people of glory are counted, you are its pillar
And if the people of merit are counted, you are its chief
فَيا قادِماً حازَت بِهِ الناس نعمةً
مِن اللَه قَد عَمَّ الأَنام مَزيدها
O you who came and people gained through you
A blessing from God that increased all people
حِماك حَماك اللَه قَد أَمَّ ناشِراً
لِواء التَهاني مُخلص يَستجيدها
May God protect you, having raised
The banner of congratulations and promptly hoisted
بِعام جَديد فيهِ قَد قَدم الهَنا
وَفيهِ يغاث الناس مِمّا يؤودها
In a new year in which bliss has arrived
And through which people find relief from distress
إذا هبَّ معطار الصبا مِن ربى الصَفا
نَحرنا لَها ما سنَّ قِدماً لبيدها
When the gentle breeze blows from the hill of purity
We shall offer it what would please its hospitality
فَتذكرنا عَهد الحِجاز وَلم تَكُن
لِطول المَدى تنسى لَدينا عُهودها
It reminded us of the covenant with Hejaz, which
Despite the distances, we never forgot its bond
وَإِنّا لَقوم خصّنا اللَه منّةً
بِأَشرَف ذات في الوَرى عمَّ جودُها
We are the people God has specially favoured
With the noblest being in existence, abundant its bounty
لَنا كَعبة الفَضل التي عصبة الهدى
بِها حرماً أَمناً تؤمّ وفودها
We have the Kaaba of nobility, the sanctuary of guidance
To which pilgrims travel safely, in crowds
عَسى إِن سَعى ذا العام ركب حجيجها
سَعى منك مقدامُ الجُنود وحيدُها
May the rider of its pilgrims, the unique
Commander of armies, the brave lion lead them this year
أَمير لَها تَسري السراةُ بِأَمره
وَقَد زَأرت فَوق الجِياد أسودُها
A prince who by his command the noblemen travel
As its stallions roared, its lions crouched
فَيَرعى بِها حَقّ الرَعيّة باسِطاً
أَكُفَّ نَدىً بِالغَيظ باتَ حسودها
To tend to the rights of people openly
With hands pouring clarity, while its envious slept
وَلا زالَ بِالرَأي السَديد يسوسُها
وَبِالحَزم وَالعَزم الشَديد يَسودُها
And continued to govern it with upright opinion
And strong resolute determination to rule it
إِلى أَن يُحلّيَ جيد آمالها الهَنا
بِنَيل المُنى وَالعودُ بِالأَمنِ عيدُها
Until the neck of its hopes wears the collar of bliss
And safety returns in peace to celebrate its feast
وَتنشدها عِندَ الوُرود إِلى الحمى
رِياض الهَنا باليمن فاحَت ورودُها
And when returning to the sanctuary, it recites near the roses
The gardens of bliss in Yemen have blossomed again
