    وَعَلَيهِ غرّدت الطُيورْ

    And its groves have put forth leaves,

    And upon them the birds have warbled.

    وَتَعيش فينا ما تَشا

    وَأَجلّ مَولى قَد سَلَكْ

    For you are indeed the noblest of all who have ruled,

    And the most august lord ever to have trodden

  20. في حُكمه سَهل السككْ

    وَكَسا البَسيطة بِالزهورْ

    Easy paths in his rule,

    And clothed the earth in flowers.

    Under the protection of your almighty Lord,

    لَكَ بِالفُتوح مِن الثُغورْ

    As long as a herald comes with glad tidings

    To you of victories from the frontiers.
