إذا نزلت أبناء رزيك منزلاً

تبسم عن ثغر النباهة خامله

Whenever the sons of Ruzzik alight in a dwelling,

What was obscure there smiles, baring the teeth of renown;

وخيم في أرجائه المجد والعلى

وجاد به طل السماح وهاطله

And glory and eminence encamp in its precincts,

And generosity's light rain and downpour shower upon it.

ملوك لهم فضل بأبلج منهم

محافله تزهى به وجحافله

Kings whose distinction comes through a radiant one among them;

His assemblies and his armies glory in him.

تزر على الليث الغضنفر درعه

وتلوى على الطود المنيف حمائله

His armor is fastened upon the mighty lion,

And his sword-belts are wound around the lofty mountain.

يفيض علينا كل يوم وليلة

بلا سبب أفضاله وفضائله

He pours upon us, every day and night,

Without cause, his favors and his virtues.

يثيب على أقوالنا متبرعاً

على أنها من بعض ما هو قائله

He rewards our words, giving freely,

Though they are but part of what he himself says.

بكم شرف الإسلام وانتصر الهدى

وقامت قناة الدين واشتد كاهله

Through you, Islam has gained honor and guidance has triumphed;

And religion's spear-shaft has risen upright, and its shoulder has grown strong.

وأصبح منكم مجده وجلاله

وفارسه يوم الهياج وكاهله

And from among you now come its glory and its majesty,

And its knight on the day of battle, and its supporting shoulder.
