1. مَلِكٌ أوْضَحَ مِنْهَاجَ الهُدَى

    فَاهْتَدَى مَنْ ضَلْ

    A king who made clear the path of guidance,

    So whoever had strayed found the way,

  2. وَمَحَا غَيْهَبَ عُدْوَانِ العِدَى

    بِصَبَاحِ العَدلْ

    And dispelled the deep darkness of the foes’ aggression

    With the morning light of justice.

  3. خَالِدُ المَجْدِ رَوَى غيثَ النَّدَى

    عنهُ يحيى الفَضلْ

    Everlasting in glory—the rain of generosity was recounted

    On his authority by Yahya of excellence.
