1. باكَرَتنا بَواكِرُ الوَسمِيِّ

    ثُمَّ راحَت وَأَقبَلَت بِالوَلِيِّ

    The earliest autumn showers visited us at dawn,

    Then they came at evening, bringing the following rain.

  2. وَأَرى الغَيثَ لَيسَ يَنفَكُّ يَهمي

    في غَداةٍ مُخضَلَّةٍ وَعَشِيِّ

    And I see the rain never ceasing to pour,

    In a rain-soaked morning and at evening.

  3. فَسَقى الأَرضَ رَيَّها مِن نَداهُ

    فَاِسقِني مِن سُلافَةِ الراحِ رَيِّ

    So it watered the earth to its fill with its moisture;

    So give me my fill of the choicest wine.

  4. أَصبَحَت بَهجَةُ النَعيمِ وَأَمسَت

    بَينَ قَصرِ الصَبيحِ وَالجَعفَرِيِّ

    The splendor of bliss was there, morning and evening,

    Between al-Sabih Palace and al-Ja'fari,

  5. في البِناءِ العَجيبِ وَالمَنزِلِ الآ

    نِسِ وَالمَنظَرِ الجَميلِ البَهِيِّ

    In the wondrous building and the welcoming abode,

    And the beautiful, splendid view,

  6. وَرِياضٍ تَصبو النُفوسُ إِلَيها

    وَتُحَيّا بِوَردِهِنَّ الجَنِيِّ

    And gardens for which souls yearn,

    And are greeted with their freshly picked roses.

  7. دارُ مُلكٍ مُختارَةٌ لِإِمامٍ

    أَحرَزَت كَفُّهُ تُراثَ النَبِيِّ

    A royal abode chosen for an imam

    Whose hand has secured the Prophet's inheritance.

  8. وَهَبَ اللَهُ لِلرَعِيَّةِ مِنهُ

    سيرَةَ الفاضِلِ النَقِيِّ الزَكِيِّ

    God has bestowed upon the populace, through him,

    The conduct of one virtuous, pure, and righteous.

  9. فَهيَ مَحبُوَّةٌ بِإِحسانِهِ الضا

    في عَلَيها وَحُكمِهِ المَرضِيِّ

    Thus it is favored with his abundant kindness

    Upon it, and with his well-approved rule.

  10. يَإِمامَ الهُدى وَيا صاحِبَ الحَق

    قِ وَيا اِبنَ الرَشيدِ وَالمَهدِيِّ

    O imam of guidance, and O possessor of truth,

    And O son of al-Rashid and al-Mahdi,

  11. لِيَدُم دَهرُكَ المُحَبَّبُ في النا

    سِ بِعُمرٍ باقٍ وَعَيشٍ رَضِيِّ

    May your era, beloved among the people, endure,

    With lasting life and contented living.
