1. ماذا استفدنا من هزائم العدى

    ونحن لم نمدد إلى المجد يدا

    What have we gained from the enemies’ defeats,

    When we have not stretched out a hand toward glory?

  2. وقد يضر المدبرُ الفرّارُ

    كما يضر المقدمُ الكرارُ

    And one who retreats and flees may do harm,

    Just as one who advances and charges repeatedly may do harm.

  3. ممالك المشرق منذ القدمِ

    تعتز بالملوك لا بالأممِ

    Take pride in kings, not in nations.

  4. ومن سجايا ملك اليابانِ

    غرامه بالشعر والبيانِ

    And among the traits of the king of Japan

    Is his passion for poetry and eloquence.

  5. فمن لنا بمستبدٍّ عادلِ

    يسير فينا سيرة الأوائلِ

    Who, then, will bring us a just autocrat

    Who conducts himself among us as those of old did,

  6. يسوقنا إلى العلى بالرهبَهْ

    إن لم تسر بنا إليها الرغبَهْ

    Driving us to the heights through fear,

    If desire does not carry us there?

  7. يا واهب النصر انصرِ الإسلاما

    واجعل من الحرب له سلاما

    O Giver of victory, grant victory to Islam,

    And bring it peace out of war.
