    أَهلَّ عَلَى الإِسلامِ أَللهُ أَكْبَرُ

    A crescent, radiant with the light of good fortune and truth,

    Has risen over Islam—God is greatest!

  2. أَغَرُّ نَما فِي الغُرِّ من آلِ هاشِمٍ

    ووافى بِهِ يومٌ أَغَرُّ مُشَهَّرُ

    Radiant, he grew among the illustrious of Hashim’s house,

    And a radiant, celebrated day arrived with him.

  3. بِهِ زِيدَ فِي آلِ النَّبيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ

    حسامٌ وبَحْرٌ بالنَّدى يَتَفَجَّرُ

    Through him, the family of the Prophet Muhammad gained

    A keen sword and a sea gushing with generosity.

  4. فَأَدْرَكَتِ الآمالُ غاياتِ سُؤْلِها

    وأُعْطِيَتِ الأَيَّامُ مَا تَتَخَيَّرُ

    So hopes attained the utmost of their desire,

    And the days were granted whatever they chose.

  5. وقامَ سريرٌ للخلافَةِ ثابِتٌ

    وسَرْجٌ ومِحْرابٌ وتاجٌ ومِنْبَرُ

    And a throne stood firm for the caliphate,

    And a saddle, a prayer niche, a crown, and a pulpit.

    وَمَا الدَّهْرُ إِلّا مُبْشِرٌ ومُبَشِّرُ

    And people are only those who hope and those who inspire hope;

    And time only rejoices and brings glad tidings.

  7. وأَيَّامُ مَحْيانا حدائِقُ تَزْدَهِي

    وأَوْجُهُ دنيانا كواكِبُ تُزْهِرُ

    And the days of our life are gardens flourishing in beauty,

    And the faces of our world are stars that shine.

  8. فَدُومُوا لهذا الدِّينِ حِصْناً ومَوْئِلاً

    فأَنْتُمْ لَهُ عِزٌّ وذِكْرٌ ومَفْخَرُ

    So remain a fortress and a refuge for this faith,

    For you are its glory, its renown, and its pride.
