دعوتُ اللهَ رَبَّ العرشِ عِلْماً

دعوتُ اللهَ رَبَّ العرشِ عِلْماً

بأنّ اللهَ يسمعُ للدُّعاءِ

بأنّ اللهَ يسمعُ للدُّعاءِ

I prayed to God, Lord of the Throne, knowing

I called upon God, Lord of the Mighty Throne, knowing

that God listens to prayer,

That God hears the supplication.

بقاءكَ يا غياث الدين شَهْماً

بقاءكَ يا غياث الدين شَهْماً

مُطاعَ الأمرِ منصورَ اللواءِ

مُطاعَ الأمرِ منصورَ اللواءِ

for your continued life, O Ghiyath al-Din, noble-hearted,

May you remain, O Succor of the Faith, intrepid,

your command obeyed, your banner victorious.

Obeyed in command, victorious with banners unfurled.

فإنك إذْ يقيسُكَ ألْمِعَيٌّ

فإنك إذْ يقيسُكَ ألْمِعَيٌّ

مقامُ الماءِ فينا والهَواءِ

مقامُ الماءِ فينا والهَواءِ

For you, when a discerning man appraises you,

For when they measure you, O Brilliant One,

hold among us the place of water and air:

You are to us as water and air -

إذا فسدا فمهْلِكُ كل شيءٍ

إذا فسدا فمهْلِكُ كل شيءٍ

وإن صَحَّا فداعيةٌ البَقاءِ

وإن صَحَّا فداعيةٌ البَقاءِ

when both turn foul, they destroy all things;

Should they go bad, then all things perish,

and if both are sound, they sustain life.

But health in them is the summoner of existence.
