فَبَشِّرْ سماءَ السَّنَا والسَّناءِ

فَبَشِّرْ سماءَ السَّنَا والسَّناءِ

بنجم هُدىً لاَحَ في آلِ هُوْدِ

بنجم هُدىً لاَحَ في آلِ هُوْدِ

So bring glad tidings to the heaven of radiance and glory,

Rejoice, O heaven of joy,

Of a star of guidance that has shone in the house of Hud,

With a guiding star that shone among the House of Hood,

بِمُقْتَبَسٍ من شُمُوْسِ النُّفُوْسِ

بِمُقْتَبَسٍ من شُمُوْسِ النُّفُوْسِ

ومُقْتَدَحٍ من زِنادِ السُّعُودِ

ومُقْتَدَحٍ من زِنادِ السُّعُودِ

Of a light borrowed from the suns of souls,

Kindled from the suns of souls,

And a spark struck from the firesticks of good fortune:

And ignited from the flints of glory,

هِلاَلٌ تَأَلَّقَ من بَدْرِ سَعْدٍ

هِلاَلٌ تَأَلَّقَ من بَدْرِ سَعْدٍ

ومُزْنٌ تَخَلَّقَ من بَحْرِ جُودِ

ومُزْنٌ تَخَلَّقَ من بَحْرِ جُودِ

A crescent gleaming from a full moon of good fortune,

A crescent that gleamed from the full moon of Saad,

And a rain cloud formed from a sea of generosity;

And a lamp that was lit from the sea of generosity,

شِهابُ مِنَ النَّيِّرَيْنِ استَطَارَ

شِهابُ مِنَ النَّيِّرَيْنِ استَطَارَ

لإِرْدَاءِ كلِّ مَرِيْدٍ عَنِيْدِ

لإِرْدَاءِ كلِّ مَرِيْدٍ عَنِيْدِ

A meteor that shot forth from the two luminaries,

A shooting star that flew

To strike down every stubborn rebel;

To clothe every stubborn opponent,

ونَصْلٌ إذا تَمَّ منه انتِضَاءٌ

ونَصْلٌ إذا تَمَّ منه انتِضَاءٌ

فَوَيْحَ العِدَا مِنْ مٌبِيْرٍ مُبِيْدِ

فَوَيْحَ العِدَا مِنْ مٌبِيْرٍ مُبِيْدِ

And a blade—once its unsheathing is complete,

And a sharp sword that when unsheathed

Then woe to foes at the hands of a destroyer, an annihilator!

Woe to the enemies from a destroying warrior,

تَبَيَّنَ فيه كُمُوْنُ الذَّكاءِ

تَبَيَّنَ فيه كُمُوْنُ الذَّكاءِ

ويا رُبَّ نارٍ بِمُخْضَرِّ عُوْدِ

ويا رُبَّ نارٍ بِمُخْضَرِّ عُوْدِ

The brilliance latent within him has become apparent;

In it the essence of intelligence was evident,

And oh, many a fire lies in green wood!

Oh Lord, with a green rod.
