1. نَحنُ بَنو المُعجِزاتِ وَالحِكَمِ

    وَأَهلُ بَيتِ السَماحِ وَالكَرَمِ

    We are the sons of miracles and wisdom,

    And the household of liberality and generosity.

  2. قَومٌ إِذا الما الرَجاءُ يَمَّمَهُم

    قامَ لَهُ جودُهُم عَلى قَدَمِ

    A people who, whenever hope turns toward them,

    Their bounty rises to its feet for it.

  3. تَأمَنُ عَينُ المُقيمِ بَينَهُمُ

    مِن أَن تَرى قُبحَ صورَةِ العَدَمِ

    The eye of one dwelling among them is safe

    From seeing the hideous form of destitution.

  4. إِن جَمَحَ المَجدُ أَدرَكوهُ عَلى

    ما رَكِبوا مِن سَوابِقِ الهِمَمِ

    If glory bolts, they overtake it upon

    The swift steeds of resolve they ride.

  5. فَلا تَقِسُم بِغَيرِهِم أَبَداً

    فَلَن تَكونَ الأَنوارُ كَالظُلَمِ

    So never compare them with anyone else,

    For lights will never be like darkness.
