1. يهنيك يا مولاي عودك سالماً

    لسرور باب الكعبة الغراءِ

    May your safe return bring you joy, my lord,

    to the delight of the radiant Kaaba's gate

  2. وعبيد نعمتك الذي ترشفوا

    كاسين كاس هناً وكاس ولاء

    and the servants of your bounty, who have sipped

    two cups: a cup of joy and a cup of loyalty.

  3. فتحت عنايتك الطريق لسالكٍ

    ولطالما فتحت طريق هناء

    Your care opened the road for the wayfarer,

    and time and again opened a path to happiness.

  4. فسرى بها ركب التجارة عالماً

    أن اقتدارك حارس البيداء

    So the trading caravan traveled along it by night, knowing

    that your might is the desert's guardian.

  5. وشدت بمدحك في فروق بلابل ال

    أخبار عند سميذع الخلفاء

    And in Furuq your praise was sung by the nightingales of the

    news, before the noble chief of the caliphs.

  6. فاسلم وسد يا من بغيرك لم يسد

    شعبٌ ولم ينظر شبيهك راء

    So live safe and reign, O you without whom greatness was never attained

    by any people; nor has any beholder seen your like.

  7. وافخر فقد حلاك ربك بالتقى

    والصبر في السراء والضراء

    And take pride, for your Lord has adorned you with piety

    and patience in prosperity and adversity.

  8. وكساك من حلل التواضع حلةً

    صد النهى عنها يد الخيلاء

    And clothed you in one of humility's robes,

    from which reason has held back the hand of arrogance.

  9. لا زلت كالنجم الرفيع مكانةً

    يعلو السما ويرى بجوف الماء

    May you never cease to be like a star, exalted in station,

    rising above the sky, yet seen in the water's depths.

  10. وبقيت شمس علاً وبدر وزراةٍ

    وغياث محتاجٍ وغيث سخاء

    And may you remain a sun of glory and a full moon of ministry,

    and succor to the needy and a rain of generosity.
