الله أكبر ساد الحق وانتصرا

وأنجز السعد والاقبال ما نذرا

God is Great, truth has prevailed and been victorious

And good fortune and prosperity have fulfilled what they promised

وألسن اليمن قد قالت مهنئة

بشرى فوفد الهدى قد عاد مفتخرا

And the tongues of Yemen have spoken congratulations

Good tidings, so the guidance has returned proudly

وفد على نصرة الدين الحنيفي قد

لبى النداء فجاب البحر وابتدرا

A delegation has come to support the true religion

Responding to the call, crossing the sea eagerly

وافوا مليك يحف النصر رايته

والعدل راحته والفضل قد نشرا

They came to a king whose banner is victory

And whose comfort is justice and whose generosity is spread

لينذروا قومهم اذ يرجعوا فيرى

آنا فانا بهم بدر الرقي سرى

To warn their people when they return, so they will see

Glory, so we are with them, the full moon journeyed

أسرى نهاراً بهم فكان من أمرهم

ان شاهدوا العرش والكرسي والوزرا

Journeying by day with them, so their matter was

That they witnessed the Throne, Chair and Ministers

من منبع الحق تحت الحجب قد شربوا

فما رأوه يقين لا كلام مرا

From the source of truth beneath the veils they drank

What they saw with certainty, not mere talk

آيات كبرى عياناً ابصروا فغدا

ذاك الفؤاد بذاك القول مؤتمرا

Great signs they saw plainly, so that heart

Became convinced by that word, assembled

قد ألهموا الرشد بالتوفيق فانتظموا

في سلك من قربوا قرب اجتبا وقرا

They were inspired with righteousness through success, so they entered

The path of those brought near, brought near and visited

على بساط الرضا والانس صف لهم

موائد المن ضاها نورها القمرا

At the place of pleasure and intimacy, a rank for them

Tables of bounty, their light rivaled by the moon

وخولوا رتباً أضحت تميزهم

وبالمجيدي تحلوا والحديث جرى

They were given ranks by which they are distinguished

And were adorned with the praiseworthy and discourse flowed

تشفعوا والامين الشهم وساطة

فخفوا وطأة الحكم الذي صدرا

They interceded and the brave, noble intermediary

So they were relieved of the harsh judgment that was issued

فنلت عفواً ونال الفخر محتبسا

ذو العز عارف موسى اذ قضى وطرا

And were granted pardon, and pride was withheld

The mighty, knowing Moses when he judged and hit

ذاك المقام المعلى لامزاح فيا

وفد الصلاح ايقظوا الشعب الذي فترا

That lofty position is no joking matter, so

Delegation of righteousness, awaken the people who were negligent

عاد البراق بكم يطوى الخضم ومن

يرمي القسي سواكم بعد يا أمرا

The Buraq has returned with you, traversing the valleys, and who

Would cast aside the stubborn but you, O people of authority

واذ قفلتم وحل البدر منزله

والشمس مشرقه هل للنجوم سرى

And when you returned and the full moon took its place

And the sun its rising, do the stars have a path?

كلا ومن أضمر التشبيه قيل له

الصيف ضيعت فاصمت واستقم حذرا

No! And whoever concealed the metaphor was told:

"Summer is lost, so be silent and walk cautiously"

بشرى سعدنا وسدنا والزمان صفا

درب التمدن في أقطارنا عبرا

Good tidings, our joy and our pillar, and time is clear

The path of civilization in our lands has crossed over

بهمة العدل والينا ومرشدنا

محمد حافظ باشا الذي شهرا

With the zeal of justice, ease, and our guide

Muhammad Pasha, who glorified it

وهمة الشهم ذاك المجتبي رجب

باشا المشير الذي في نصحنا سهرا

عناية الله حفتنا فوفقنا

لمرتضى من على نهج الفلاح جرى

For the desired path of prosperity

ظل الإله نصير الدين حافظه

أميرنا معشر الإسلام مذ ظهرا

The shadow of God, helper of the religion, preserving it

Is our Prince, the Muslim people since appearing

حامي الخلافة قطب العرش ضيغمه

مزن غدا صوبه بالأمن منهمرا

Guardian of the Caliphate, pillar of the throne, its pole

Made glorious by security overflowing to it

عبد الحميد الذي سارت بحكمته

نجائب الحمد وانقادت له السفرا

Abdul Hamid, who by his wisdom

Tributes of praise flowed, and journeys submitted to him

فدم لك الظفر سيف الله مبتهجا

يحمي علاك الهدى ما جندنا نصرا

So victory is yours, O sword of God, rejoicing

Protecting your ascent, guidance, as long as our soldiers grant victory
