جَلا اللّهُ أدْجانَ الأسى وتبَلَّجتْ

جَلا اللّهُ أدْجانَ الأسى وتبَلَّجتْ

بأبيض من صُبْح المَسرَّةِ واضحِ

بأبيض من صُبْح المَسرَّةِ واضحِ

God dispelled sorrow’s dark clouds, and they brightened

God has dispelled the sorrows' shadows, and the dawn

With a clear white radiance from the dawn of joy.

Of joy has shone with a bright whiteness,

وأبعد كرب الخطب عن موطن العلى

وأبعد كرب الخطب عن موطن العلى

بدانٍ من النَّعْماء بادي المَلامِحِ

بدانٍ من النَّعْماء بادي المَلامِحِ

And drove calamity’s anguish far from the abode of glory,

And kept far away the grievous ills from the abode of highness

With blessing near at hand, its features plainly visible.

With gifts of bounty manifest in their lineaments.

وجلَّ بهاء الدين عن طيش حَبْوَةٍ

وجلَّ بهاء الدين عن طيش حَبْوَةٍ

وما زال ذا حِلْمٍ مع الخطب راجح

وما زال ذا حِلْمٍ مع الخطب راجح

And Bahāʾ al-Dīn is too dignified for his knee-band to fly loose;

And by the splendor of the faith he has turned from the folly of childishness,

And he has ever possessed steadfast forbearance amid calamity.

And still he has clemency along with burdens momentous.

ولكنَّ حُسن العهد شيمةُ نفْسِهِ

ولكنَّ حُسن العهد شيمةُ نفْسِهِ

وآبائهِ في كُلِّ دانٍ ونازحِ

وآبائهِ في كُلِّ دانٍ ونازحِ

But keeping faith is the nature of his soul,

But fair dealing is the quality of his soul

And of his forefathers, toward everyone near and far.

And his forebears in every land and place of migration.

فلا عادكُمْ رزءٌ من الدهر بعدَه

فلا عادكُمْ رزءٌ من الدهر بعدَه

ولا زلتُم حتف الخطوبِ الفَوادح

ولا زلتُم حتف الخطوبِ الفَوادح

So may no bereavement from time revisit you after this,

So no reversal of your fortunes comes to you from fate thereafter,

And may you ever be the death of crushing calamities.

Nor have you slipped from lofty peaks hazardous.
