1. أَهلاً بِهَذا المَلِكِ المُقبِلِ

    جِئتَ مَجيءَ العارِضِ المُسبِلِ

    Welcome to this approaching king!

    You have come like a rain cloud pouring down.

  2. قَدِمتَ فَاِبتَلَّ يَبيسُ الثَرى

    وَاِخضَرَّ رَوضُ البَلَدِ المُمحَلِ

    You arrived, and the parched earth grew moist,

    And the meadows of the drought-stricken land turned green.

  3. اللَهُ أَعطَكَ نِظامَ العُلا

    وَالفَخرِ فَاِفخَر يا أَبا نَهشَلِ

    God has given you the necklace of eminence

    And glory—so take pride, O Abu Nahshal!

  4. فَمَجدُكَ الآخِرُ يُغني بَني

    نَبهانَ عَن مَجدِهِمِ الأَوَّلِ

    For your latest glory frees the sons

    Of Nabhan from needing their former glory.
