زَمانُكَ ثَوبٌ وَالسُعودُ طِرازُ

زَمانُكَ ثَوبٌ وَالسُعودُ طِرازُ

وَمُلكُكَ حَقٌّ وَالمُلوكُ مَجازُ

وَمُلكُكَ حَقٌّ وَالمُلوكُ مَجازُ

Your era is a robe, and good fortune its embroidery.

Your reign is but a cloak, and glory its embroidery,

And your sovereignty is real, while kings are mere metaphor.

Your rule is truth, though kings are naught but fantasy.

وَلِلَهِ مِن تَمليكِكَ الأَرضَ مَوعِدٌ

وَلِلَهِ مِن تَمليكِكَ الأَرضَ مَوعِدٌ

وَما قاعِدٌ إِن قُمتَ عَنكَ نَجازُ

وَما قاعِدٌ إِن قُمتَ عَنكَ نَجازُ

And God has promised to grant you the earth;

God has promised you dominion over every land,

And if you rise, fulfillment will not lag behind you.

None can resist you if you rise and take command.

فَقُم في المُلوكِ الصيدِ مِن آلِ شاورٍ

فَقُم في المُلوكِ الصيدِ مِن آلِ شاورٍ

فَما دونَها حَتّى العِراقِ حِجازُ

فَما دونَها حَتّى العِراقِ حِجازُ

So rise among the proud kings of the house of Shawar;

So hunt amidst the kings, descend from Shāwar’s line,

For no barrier lies before it, as far as Iraq.

For all the lands from Iraq to Hejaz will be yours to mind.

هُمُ وَهَبوا الأَملاكَ ما في يَدَيهِمُ

هُمُ وَهَبوا الأَملاكَ ما في يَدَيهِمُ

وَلَو أَنَّهُم مَدّوا اليَدَينِ لَحازوا

وَلَو أَنَّهُم مَدّوا اليَدَينِ لَحازوا

They bestowed on kings what lay in their hands;

They hold as their possessions what their hands contain,

And had they stretched out both hands, they would have taken possession.

Had they but reached, those hands would have grasped all terrain.
