مازالَ يَنحَلُني أبو الجَيشِ اسمَهُ

مازالَ يَنحَلُني أبو الجَيشِ اسمَهُ

فِيما يُجدِّدُ كلَّ يَومٍ جُودا

فِيما يُجدِّدُ كلَّ يَومٍ جُودا

Abu al-Jaysh has never ceased bestowing his name on me

Abu al-Jaysh has kept bestowing his name on me,

Still does the father of the army’s name dissolve me

as each day he renews his generosity,

as he renews his generosity every day,

As he renews his generosity each day

حتَّى غَدوتُ أنا المُسمَّى حامِداً

حتَّى غَدوتُ أنا المُسمَّى حامِداً

وغَدا يُسمَّى حامِداً مَحمُودا

وغَدا يُسمَّى حامِداً مَحمُودا

until I became the one called Ḥāmid—the praiser—

until I became the one called Ḥāmid—the praiser—,

Until I have become the one called praising

while he, called Ḥāmid, became Maḥmūd—the praised.

and he, called Ḥāmid, became the one praised.

And he has become the praised, blessed one
