هَذي السَعادَةُ قَد قامَت عَلى قَدَمِ

هَذي السَعادَةُ قَد قامَت عَلى قَدَمِ

وَقَد خَلَعتُ لَها في مَجلِسِ الكَرَمِ

وَقَد خَلَعتُ لَها في مَجلِسِ الكَرَمِ

This happiness has risen to her feet.

This happiness arose upon my feet

And I have bestowed a robe of honor upon her in the assembly of generosity.

And for it I shed my cloak in the assembly of generosity

فَإِن أَرَدتَ إِلَهي بِالوَرى حُسناً

فَإِن أَرَدتَ إِلَهي بِالوَرى حُسناً

فَمَلَّكَني زِمامَ الدَهرِ وَالأُمَمِ

فَمَلَّكَني زِمامَ الدَهرِ وَالأُمَمِ

So if, my God, you wish goodness for humankind,

If You desire good for the people, my God

Then make me master of the reins of time and nations.

Give me control over the rein of fate and nations

فَإِنَّني لاعدَلتُ الدَهرَ عَن حَسَنٍ

فَإِنَّني لاعدَلتُ الدَهرَ عَن حَسَنٍ

وَلا عَدَلتُ بِهِم عَن أَكرَمِ الشِيَمِ

وَلا عَدَلتُ بِهِم عَن أَكرَمِ الشِيَمِ

For I would never, through all time, turn aside from goodness,

For I would not let time deprive them of goodness

Nor lead them away from the noblest virtues.

Nor would I, with them, deprive the most honorable traits

أُقارِعُ الدَهرَ عَنهُم كُلَّ ذي طَلَبٍ

أُقارِعُ الدَهرَ عَنهُم كُلَّ ذي طَلَبٍ

وَأُطرِدُ الدَهرَ عَنهُم كُلَّ ذي عدمِ

وَأُطرِدُ الدَهرَ عَنهُم كُلَّ ذي عدمِ

I would forever contend on their behalf with every claimant,

I confront time against them, all who demand

And forever drive every needy person away from them.

And I drive away time from them, all who lack
