يا من بنور شهابه العليا تضي

وبكفه سيف العزيمة ينتضي

O you, by whose meteor’s light the heights shine,

And in whose palm the sword of resolve is unsheathed.

أنت الذي يندائه المتعرض

قسم الفخار بأنه لا يرتضي

You are the one—[unclear wording]—the petitioner.

Glory swore that it would not accept

مولى سواه فكان أصدق قاسم

A master other than him; thus it proved the truest oath-taker.

شهم له العياء تصدح بالثنا

وبفضله قد ضاء مفتاح السنا

A noble man for whom weariness sings praise,

And through his bounty the key to radiance has shone.

لله كم نلنا براحته المنا

ولكم عطاياه التي قسمت لنا

God! How many wishes we have attained through his palm!

And how often his gifts, which were allotted to us,

تشدو أدام الله نعمة قاسمي

Sing: “May God perpetuate the blessing of my Qasim!”
