ظهرت محاسن ذا الزمان فقابلت
بالبشر والاقبال والخير المزيد
The beauties of this era have appeared, so I met
With good tidings, prosperity, and more goodness
اذعاد تشيد المدارس قربة
في ظل سلطان الورى عبدالحميد
As schools are being built for devotion
Under the sultan of all people, Abdülhamid
ابن المليك المرتضى والمجتبي
واميرنا فيما مضى عبد المجيد
The son of the chosen king and the select
And our prince in the past, Abdülmecid
جاد الزمان على الانام به فمذ
نشر العدالة زلزل الركن العنيد
Time has been generous to people through him thus
Spreading justice, shaking the stubborn pillar
دامت له الرايات قاهرة العدا
فاحرسه بالظفر المؤبد يا مجيد
May his banners remain victorious over enemies
So guard him with eternal triumph, oh Glorious
أسد الملوك به المشارق أشرقت
وبه المغعارب حفها الرعب الشديد
The lion of kings, by him the easts have shone
And by him the wests were filled with great fear
ملك تربع في أريكة ملكه
ما بين سيطرة وتدبير سديد
A king who settled on the throne of his rule
Between control and wise management
ساد الانام برى السهام حمى الحمى
أهدى السلام فنال منا ما يريد
He ruled people, protecting the protected
Bringing peace so he got what he wanted from us
نشر المعارف والعلوم وبثها
بمدارس عليا بها الدنيا تميد
Spreading knowledge and sciences
Through supreme schools by which life bows down
خرق الجبال بنى القلاع وشادها
ملأ البحار بآلة الحرب الجديد
He pierced mountains, built citadels and raised them
Filled the seas with new war machinery
مد الخيوط وقى الشطوط موجهاً
نحو الحجاز مراكب الخط الحديد
He laid wires and docked ships steering
Them towards Hejaz, the trains of iron
قل داعيا آمين يا هذا فما
عز الخلافة في سوى عبد الحميد
Say amen, wishing: Oh you, pride of caliphate
Is in none but Abdülhamid
كل الانام على اختلاف شعوبها
خضعت لدولته ودانت من بعيد
All people of different nations
Submitted to his state and surrendered from afar
فهو الرفيع اذا رايت مكانه
وبكهرباء الفكر أقرب من وريد
He is the high when you see his status
And with mental electrics, closer than a vein
خطبت مودته الملوك تقربا
وتوقيا من حد صيقله المبيد
Kings sought his friendship, drawing near
And hoping to avoid the edge of his sharp sword
لله من ملك عظيم زانه
ملك جليل قاهر أسد فريد
What a great mighty king he is, adorned
With a majestic rule, unique conquering lion
في عصره فلك السعادة والثنا
جد المسير ودار في دور جديد
In his time the orbit of fortune and praise
A new era set in and circled in a new cycle
فيه استقام لنا بشامل عدله
تجديد مدرسة لها عمر مديد
With his all-encompassing justice, he set right for us
Renewing a school with an extended lifetime
خدمتك مدرسة البروني اذ غدت
تشدو بنصرك في مصادمة العنيد
Your school, Al-Buruni, once rebuilt
Sings your victory, confronting the stubborn
ولسان حال دروسها وربوعها
ما عمرت يرجو لك النصر الاكيد
And the state of its classes and gardens
That were built, hoping for your assured triumph
في عصرك المعمور ذي الفخر الذي
بهر العقول وحير الفكر الرشيد
In your prosperous reign, so glorious
It dazzled minds and confused the wise mind
شبت وعاد لها الصبا فترنحت
طربا وقالت في الورى عبد الحميد
It grew up and its youth returned so it swayed
Happily saying: In life, Abdülhamid!
لولاه ما حفظت لطيبة روضة
كلا ولا كانت حضارتكم تزيد
Were it not for him, the gardens of Tayba would not be preserved
No, and your civilization would not increase
لولاه ما عمرت مدارس طالما
هجرت فنور ليلها للمستفيد
Were it not for him, schools would not be built after
Abandoning them, their light enlightening the beneficiary
يا أيها الحبر السياسي اطنبن
في وصف واسطة من العقد النضيد
Oh you political writer, compose long
In describing the intermediary of solid pearls
باللَه قل واصدع بحق لا تهب
لوم العذول وجد باتقان النشيد
By God, speak and proclaim the truth, do not
Blame the envious, and excel in chanting
هل في الدنا ملك يقاس بملكه
هيهات الا ان يؤسس من جديد
Is there a king in the world compared to his rule?
Never, unless rebuilding anew
كم نعمة أسدى وكم أهدى الورى
مننا وكم من مجزم أضحى طريد
How many blessings he gave, and how he guided the world
With bounties, and how many became outcasts
عمت عنايته جبال الغرب اذ
صدرت ارادته لذي الحكم السديد
His care covered the mountains of the west when
His will went to the one of wise rule
أعني محمد عزت المحمود من
بالعدل لا زالت محبته تزيبد
I mean Muhammad Izzat Al-Mahmoud whom
With justice, his love still surges
سادت بنيره الجبال وأشرقت
وتشرفت وتزينت وغدت تميد
His light spread on mountains which became
Honored, enlightened, adorned, and bowing down
لا زال محمود الخصال مكرما
متنعما بمكارم الملك الفريد
Mahmoud's traits remain generous
Thriving through the generosity of the unique king
سلطاننا وولي نعمة حزبنا
وخليفة المختار نبراس الشهيد
Our sultan and benefactor of our party
And caliph of the chosen, lantern of martyr
صلى عليه الله ما بدر بدا
وصفا السما وعلا الهدى وهمي الجليد
May Allah send blessings on him for as long as
Stars appear and guidance rises, freezing the torrent
وعلى صحابته الأجلة ما غدا
علم الهدى متصديا للمستفيد
And on his noble companions for as long as
The flag of guidance confronts the beneficiary
أو ما البروني تاه في الترصيع مذ
نال الرضا والعفو من عبد الحميد
Or as long as Al-Buruni remains lost in ornament
Since he attained acceptance and pardon from Abdülhamid
والآل ما ختم البنا واستفتحت
للعلم مدرسة بذا العصر السعيد
And the family since the school's construction ended
And for science a school opened in this happy time
