1. عَبْدُ العَزيزِ خَليفةُ اللهِ الذي

    ظَفِرَ الهُدى منْهُ بفَوْزِ قِداحِهِ

    Abd al-Aziz, God's caliph, the one

    through whom guidance triumphed with his winning lot-arrows.

  2. ولِذاكَ ما أهْدَتْ عُلاهُ هَديّةً

    قد أعْرَبَتْ عنْ بأسِهِ وسَماحِهِ

    And so what his eminence offered as a gift

    has spoken of his valor and generosity.

  3. حَيَّ بِها وَطَنَ الجِهادِ تحيّةً

    أبْدَتْ عُهودَ نَشاطِهِ ومَراحِهِ

    With it he greeted the homeland of jihad—a greeting

    that revealed the pledges of his vigor and exuberance.

  4. فالخَيْلُ عنْ أعْراقِهِ والتّمْرُ عنْ

    أخْلاقِهِ والطِّيبُ عنْ أمْداحِهِ

    So the horses speak of his bloodlines, and the dates of

    his character, and the perfume of his praises.

  5. ورَقيقُها من لَيْلِهِ أنْجُمُ التُّقى

    وكِتابُها منْ فَجْرِهِ وصَباحِهِ

    And its slaves are stars of piety from his night,

    and its book is from his dawn and morning.

  6. وسِلاحُها ماضٍ مَضاءَ عَزيمةٍ

    أو سابِغٌ واقٍ سُبوغَ صَلاحِهِ

    And its weaponry is keen with the keenness of resolve,

    or ample and protective, as ample as his righteousness.

  7. جَدّدْتَ عهْدَ أبيكَ في إمْدادِها

    لمّا قَبَسْتَ النّورَ منْ مِصْباحِهِ

    You renewed your father's pledge in supporting it,

    when you drew the light from his lamp.

  8. لازالَ سعْيُكَ في الخِلافَةِ ناجِحاً

    تَسْتَمْطِرُ الدّنْيا مَهَبَّ رِياحِهِ

    May your striving in the caliphate ever prosper,

    as the world seeks rain from the quarter where its winds blow.

  9. ولِواءُ نَصْرِكَ يسْتَهلُّ غَمامةً

    تَذَرُ الفُتوحَ جُثىً بقُضْبِ رِماحِهِ

    And may your banner of victory pour down like a cloud

    that leaves conquests in heaps by the shafts of its spears.
