يظلُّ الدينُ مُبتهجاً طَروباً

اذا أمسى وأنت له بهاءُ

اذا أمسى وأنت له بهاءُ

Faith remains exultant, rapt with joy,

Religion remains joyful and enraptured

when evening comes and you are its radiance.

When evening falls, and you are its splendor.

ويُزْهى الفضل حين أبوهُ شهمٌ

ويُزْهى الفضل حين أبوهُ شهمٌ

لهُ البأسُ المُحاذرُ والعَطاءُ

لهُ البأسُ المُحاذرُ والعَطاءُ

Virtue is made resplendent when its sire is a valiant man;

And excellence glories when its father is a gallant man,

his are dreaded prowess and generosity.

Who possesses fearsome might and generosity.

فتىً عند العِدى صابٌ مُمِرٌ

فتىً عند العِدى صابٌ مُمِرٌ

وفي خِلاَّنهِ عسلٌ وماءُ

وفي خِلاَّنهِ عسلٌ وماءُ

A noble youth—to the foe, intensely bitter aloe;

A youth, bitter sap—intensely bitter—to his foes,

among his intimates, honey and water.

And among his close friends, honey and water.

هُمامٌ لم يزلْ يحمي ويَقْري

هُمامٌ لم يزلْ يحمي ويَقْري

اذا كَلَبَ الرزايا والشَّتاءُ

اذا كَلَبَ الرزايا والشَّتاءُ

A dauntless chief who never ceases to defend and feast his guests,

A valiant man who has never ceased to protect and feed guests

when calamities and winter grow rabid.

When calamities and winter rage.

فهُنِّي كل شهرٍ من حَرامٍ

فهُنِّي كل شهرٍ من حَرامٍ

وحلٍّ ما بني المَجْدَ الثَّناءُ

وحلٍّ ما بني المَجْدَ الثَّناءُ

So wish me joy with every sacred month,

So may you be congratulated each month, whether sacred

and declare lawful all the glory that praise has built.

Or non-sacred, so long as praise builds glory.
