1. بعليّ مجدك تفخر العلياء

    وبجود كفك تقتدي الأنواء

    The heights take pride in your exalted glory.

    And the rain-bearing stars emulate your hand's bounty.

  2. وإليك ينتسب الكمال وينتهي

    كرم الخلال وينتمي الكرماء

    And to you perfection traces its lineage, and in you culminates

    Nobility of character; the noble claim kinship with you.

  3. وعليك من نور الاله جلالة

    تعنو لديك لعزها العظماء

    And upon you rests a majesty from the light of God,

    Before whose might the great bow down in your presence.

  4. ومحبة غدت القلوب بأسرها

    أسرى بها وانقادت الأهواء

    And a love—all hearts, without exception, have become

    Captives through it, and passions have submitted.

  5. فلتفخر الدنيا بمجدك والعلا

    والملك والوزراء والكبراء

    So let the world and the heights take pride in your glory,

    And the realm, the ministers, and the grandees.

  6. مولاي دعوة عبد رق مخلص

    ناء يقرّبه إليك ولاء

    My lord, a prayer from a devoted bondsman,

    Far away, yet brought near to you by loyalty.

  7. أوليتني من جود كفك نعمة

    غرّاء كانت قبلها آلاء

    You bestowed on me, from your hand's bounty, a favor,

    Resplendent, preceded by other blessings.

  8. فلأشكرن نداك ما صحبت يدي

    قلما وصاحب منطقي اصغاء

    So I shall surely give thanks for your bounty as long as my hand holds

    A pen, and attentive listening accompanies my speech.

  9. ولتسمعنّ قوافياً سيارة

    بالمدح يَخفُرها سنى وسناء

    And you shall surely hear far-traveling rhymes

    In praise, guarded by radiance and grandeur.

  10. تصل المغارب بالمشارق والدجى

    بالصبح لا عجز ولا اعياء

    They join the western lands to the eastern lands, and night's darkness

    To dawn, without failure or weariness.
