نِ ومجموعَ المعالي

O splendor of the age and the faith,

O jewel of the age and religion

and sum of lofty virtues,

And aggregate of virtues

والذي أحْرَزَها سَعْي

والذي أحْرَزَها سَعْي

اً ببأسٍ ونَوالِ

اً ببأسٍ ونَوالِ

and you who attained them through striving,

That your effort has gained

with valor and bounty;

With might and largesse

والذي يَحْطِمُ بالآ

والذي يَحْطِمُ بالآ

راءِ أطْرافَ العَوالي

راءِ أطْرافَ العَوالي

and you who, with counsel, shatter

And that shatters with opinions

the points of long spears;

The edges of lofty peaks

والذي يفْضُلُ من اِقْدا

والذي يفْضُلُ من اِقْدا

مِهِ مَرَّ النِّبالِ

مِهِ مَرَّ النِّبالِ

and you whose bold charge outstrips

And whose advance excels

the flight of arrows;

The flight of arrows

حاسِدا بأسِكَ والحِ

حاسِدا بأسِكَ والحِ

لمِ بسَلْمٍ ونِزالِ

لمِ بسَلْمٍ ونِزالِ

Envious of your valor and forbearance,

With your might make envious

in peace and in battle,

And the brave submit in peace or strife

عاصفاتُ الزَّعْزَعِ والهوُ

عاصفاتُ الزَّعْزَعِ والهوُ

جُ وأطْوادُ الجبالِ

جُ وأطْوادُ الجبالِ

are the blasts of turbulent winds and raging gales,

The storms of turmoil and the billows

and the towering masses of mountains.

And mountains' mighty rocks

أنتَ سَيفٌ بالنُّهى والعِلْ

أنتَ سَيفٌ بالنُّهى والعِلْ

مِ والمعروفِ حالِ

You are a sword adorned with reason,

You are a sword for right and knowledge

knowledge, and beneficence;

And good deed ever prompt

وجَوادٌ أحْرزَ السَّبْ

وجَوادٌ أحْرزَ السَّبْ

قَ بشدٍّ مُتَوالِ

قَ بشدٍّ مُتَوالِ

and a steed that won the race

And a steed that gained precedence

with an unbroken gallop,

With continuing speed

غادَرَ السُبَّقَ أنْضا

غادَرَ السُبَّقَ أنْضا

ءً لِبُهْرٍ وكَلالِ

leaving the frontrunners worn out

Outstripping the racers

from breathlessness and exhaustion.

Radiant, intrepid
