أَلا أَيُّها الرَكبُ المُخِبّونَ أَبلِغوا

أَلا أَيُّها الرَكبُ المُخِبّونَ أَبلِغوا

سَلامِيَ سُكانَ البِلادِ فَأَسمِعوا

سَلامِيَ سُكانَ البِلادِ فَأَسمِعوا

Listen, O swift-trotting riders: convey

O caravan who have been grieved, convey

My greeting to the inhabitants of the lands, and make it heard.

My greetings to the people of the lands, make them hear,

وَقولوا أَتاكُم أَشبَهُ الناسِ سنَّةً

وَقولوا أَتاكُم أَشبَهُ الناسِ سنَّةً

بِوالِدِهِ فَاِستَبشِروا وَتَوَقَّعوا

بِوالِدِهِ فَاِستَبشِروا وَتَوَقَّعوا

And say: there has come to you the man whose conduct most resembles

And say the one most similar of people in tradition

His father's; so rejoice and wait expectantly.

To his father has come, so rejoice and expect,

ضَمِنتُ لَك إِن لَم تُصابوا بِمهجَتي

ضَمِنتُ لَك إِن لَم تُصابوا بِمهجَتي

بِأَنَّ سَماءَ الضُرِّ عَنكُم سَتُقلِعُ

بِأَنَّ سَماءَ الضُرِّ عَنكُم سَتُقلِعُ

I pledge to you—if you do not suffer the loss of my lifeblood—

I guarantee you, if you are not hurt by my passions,

That the sky of hardship will clear away from you.

That the sky of hardship over you will depart,

سَيوشِكُ إِلحاقٌ بِكُم وَزِيادَةٌ

سَيوشِكُ إِلحاقٌ بِكُم وَزِيادَةٌ

وَأَعطِيَةٌ تَأتي تِباعاً فَتُشفَعُ

وَأَعطِيَةٌ تَأتي تِباعاً فَتُشفَعُ

Soon there will be an addition for you and an increase,

Relief for you will soon come and increase

And gifts that come in succession, then are doubled.

And gifts will come in succession and double,

مُحَرَّمَكُم ديوانُكُم وَعَطاؤُكُم

مُحَرَّمَكُم ديوانُكُم وَعَطاؤُكُم

بِهِ يَكتُبُ الكُتّابُ وَالكُتبُ تُطبِعُ

بِهِ يَكتُبُ الكُتّابُ وَالكُتبُ تُطبِعُ

In your Muharram, your pay register and your stipend—

Your forbidden wealth and your gifts

The scribes will record them then, and the documents will be sealed.

With it the writers will write and the books will be printed.
