هي المراتب قد عزّت مبانيها

والحزم والعزمُ طبعا من ماديها

The ranks have been ennobled by their structures,

And determination and resolve are inherent to their nature,

وذي المعالي فمَن دام الدّراك لها

بالفخر فالجدُّ يُؤتيه معاليها

He who aspires to glory, if he comprehends them,

Will gain glory and excellence through earnestness.

لا يدرك المجدَ الاَّ فارسٌ بطل

ولا يؤمُّ المعالي غيرُ واليها

Glory is only attained by a valiant knight,

And none can lead to glory but its governor,

لا بدَّ للمجد من شهم ومن نبَهٍ

يُزهى بهِ المجد في عليائهِ تيها

Glory requires valor and perceptiveness,

With which glory shines at its heights.

كالفرد صَفوتَ من تاهت بعزَّتهِ

مراتب المجد دانيها وقاصيها

Like the unique elite whose glory has wandered,

The ranks of glory, both near and far.

هو الوزير الذي شاعت مآثره

في المجد لا يبرح التاريخ يرويها

He is the minister whose feats have spread

In glory, which history never ceases to recount,

واقبلت شعراء العصر تنشدها

وتستهلّ القوافي من معانيها

And the poets of the time have come to chant them

As the rhymes unlock their meanings.

حمداً وشكراً لمولانا العزيز على

إِنعامهِ حين اعطى القوسَ باريها

Thanks and gratitude to our noble lord

For his blessing when he gave the bow its arrow,

سلطاننا المالكالمالك الدنيا بقبضتهِ

مولى الخلافة ملجاها وكاليها

Our Sultan, holder of the world in his grip,

Refuge of the caliphate, its successor and protector,

يا ربّ خلَد مدى الايام شوكتهُ

واحفظ عدالتهُ ورداً لظاميها

O Lord, may you eternalize the span of his reign

And safeguard his justice, answering the oppressed,

يا ربّ نعم رعاياه برأفته

وغيث نعمته لا زال يحييها

O Lord, bless his subjects with his kindness,

And may the rain of his grace never cease to revive them.
