1. أيادِيكَ رَدَّتْ يَدِي فِي يَدَيْكا

    وبِرُّكَ قادَ عِناني إليْكا

    Your favors have put my hand back in your hands,

    And your kindness has led my reins to you,

  2. كقَوْدِكَ للحربِ خَيْلاً تَهُزُّ

    عَوَاليَها من كِلا جانِبَيْكا

    As you lead cavalry to war, brandishing

    Their tall lances on either side of you.

  3. وقد أبْصرَ النُّجْحُ فِي ناظِرَيْكا

    وساعَدَهُ السَّعْدُ من ساعِديكا

    And success has found sight in your eyes,

    And good fortune has aided it through your forearms.

  4. وهذا إيابيَ من يومِ زُمَّتْ

    رِكابِيَ من غُرَّتَيْ كَوْكَبَيْكا

    And this is my return, since the day they were bridled—

    My mounts—from the radiant brows of your two stars,

  5. إلى كل بَرٍّ وبحرٍ أنارَتْ

    جَوَانِبُها مِنْ ثَنائي عَلَيكا

    To every land and sea, lit up

    In their reaches by my praise of you.

  6. أشِيمُ نجوماً هَدَتْني إليكَ

    تَلوحُ مَطَالِعُها مِنْ يَدَيْكا

    I watch stars that have guided me to you;

    Their rising places gleam from your hands.

  7. يدورُ بِهَا فَلَكٌ من عُلاكَ

    فمِنْ مَشْرِقيْكَ إلى مَغْرِبَيكا

    A celestial sphere of your glory revolves with them,

    Thus from your two easts to your two wests.

  8. لياليَ أبْقَيْتَها للأَنامِ

    وذِكْرَاكَ فِيهَا حَماماً وأيْكا

    Nights you have preserved for humankind,

    And your remembrance within them as doves and groves.

  9. فلا بَرِحَتْ نِعَمُ اللهِ تَتْرى

    لَدَيَّ مُفَجَّرَةً من يَدَيْكا

    So may God's blessings never cease to come in succession

    To me, gushing forth from your hands.
