نَماهُ طِرادٌ ذو المناقب والعُلى

فللهِ ما أولى الزمانَ طِرادُ

فللهِ ما أولى الزمانَ طِرادُ

Tirad, a man of noble deeds and high honor, begot him.

He was nourished, a purifier of great virtues and sublimity

God be praised for what Tirad bestowed upon the age!

So God made the times revolve around the purifier

فجاء ربيعَ عامِ أما رُواؤهُ

فجاء ربيعَ عامِ أما رُواؤهُ

فشمسٌ وأمَّا كَفُّهُ فَعِهادُ

فشمسٌ وأمَّا كَفُّهُ فَعِهادُ

So he came as the year's spring; as for his appearance,

Then came the spring of a year, its watering

it is a sun; and as for his palm, it is rain upon rain.

A sun, and its palm a pillar

تهونُ عليه النفس والمالُ في العُلى

تهونُ عليه النفس والمالُ في العُلى

اذا قيلَ مَنّاعُ الحَريمِ جَوادُ

اذا قيلَ مَنّاعُ الحَريمِ جَوادُ

Life and wealth mean little to him in pursuit of high honor,

Life and money become trivial to him in high endeavor

when he is called a staunch defender of his household, a generous man.

When it is said who protects the sanctuaries, he is generous

من القوم اِن خام الرَّعاديد أقدموا

من القوم اِن خام الرَّعاديد أقدموا

وانْ بخلتْ وُطْف السحائب جادوا

وانْ بخلتْ وُطْف السحائب جادوا

From a people who advance boldly when trembling cowards recoil,

Of the people, if the thunderbolts advance they march

and if the thick-fringed clouds are miserly, they give freely.

And if the rain clouds are stingy they give

بهاليلُ اِما حُدَّ للمجدِ غايةٌ

بهاليلُ اِما حُدَّ للمجدِ غايةٌ

أبرُّوا على الحدِّ القَذيِّ وزادوا

أبرُّوا على الحدِّ القَذيِّ وزادوا

Noble lords—if ever a limit is set to glory,

With glories, is there a limit to glory?

they surpass the speck-tainted limit and go farther.

They transcended limits and added more

خباءُ عُلاً سامي الدِّعامة في الورى

خباءُ عُلاً سامي الدِّعامة في الورى

وأنت له يوم الفَخارِ عِمادُ

وأنت له يوم الفَخارِ عِمادُ

A tent of high honor, its supporting pillar lofty among humankind,

A lofty tent, sublime pillars in the world

and you are its pillar on the day of boasting.

And you are its pillar on the day of pride
