إِنَّ الخِلافَةَ أَصبَحَت سَرَّاؤُها

إِنَّ الخِلافَةَ أَصبَحَت سَرَّاؤُها

مَجلوبَةً وَشرورُها مَصروفَهْ

مَجلوبَةً وَشرورُها مَصروفَهْ

Indeed, the caliphate's prosperity has become

The Caliphate has become with goodness overflowing,

brought in, and its evils turned away.

And evil averted from its bounds.

عَفوٌ تَعُمُّ بِهِ الذُّنوبُ وَحُرمَةٌ

عَفوٌ تَعُمُّ بِهِ الذُّنوبُ وَحُرمَةٌ

تُعطِي الثَّوابَ وَرَأفَةٌ مَعطوفَهْ

تُعطِي الثَّوابَ وَرَأفَةٌ مَعطوفَهْ

Pardon, through which sins spread, and sanctity

Pardons encompass all sins,

that grants reward, and compassion extended.

Rewards given, and mercy abounding.

لَو كانَ يُنقِذُنا وَيُؤمِن سِربَنا

لَو كانَ يُنقِذُنا وَيُؤمِن سِربَنا

وَيُجيرُنا مِن شَرِّ كُلِّ مَخوفَهْ

وَيُجيرُنا مِن شَرِّ كُلِّ مَخوفَهْ

If anything were to rescue us and keep our people safe,

If it could save and secure our company,

and shelter us from the harm of every dreaded thing,

And protect us from each fearsome thing-

إِلا مَقامَ خَليفَةٍ لِخَليفَةٍ

إِلا مَقامَ خَليفَةٍ لِخَليفَةٍ

لِخَليفَةٍ لِخَليفَةٍ لِخَليفَهْ

لِخَليفَةٍ لِخَليفَةٍ لِخَليفَهْ

save a caliph succeeding a caliph,

None but the station of Caliph succeeding Caliph

succeeding a caliph, succeeding a caliph, succeeding a caliph.

Succeeding Caliph succeeding Caliph could such refuge bring!
