وُجودُك فَضلٌ للزَمان وَجودُ

وُجودُك فَضلٌ للزَمان وَجودُ

علينا ففينا دائماً لكَ عيدُ

علينا ففينا دائماً لكَ عيدُ

Your presence is a boon to the age and a bounty

Your existence is a blessing for this era

To us; so among us there is always a feast in your honor.

For us, you are always a joy

وَما العيد الّا أَن يهنئَ نَفسَهُ

وَما العيد الّا أَن يهنئَ نَفسَهُ

مُهَنّا بأَيّامٍ عليهِ تَعودُ

مُهَنّا بأَيّامٍ عليهِ تَعودُ

And what is a feast but to congratulate oneself,

And what is joy but to congratulate oneself

While receiving congratulations on days that return to one?

With days that keep coming back to you

وَقَد طالَما هنّا بك الشَرقُ نفسَهُ

وَقَد طالَما هنّا بك الشَرقُ نفسَهُ

وانَّ المهني نفسَهُ لَسَعيدُ

وانَّ المهني نفسَهُ لَسَعيدُ

And long has the East congratulated itself on you,

The East has long congratulated itself with you

And he who congratulates himself is surely happy.

And the one who congratulates is happy indeed

لك الفضل لا يحتاج فينا لشاهدٍ

لك الفضل لا يحتاج فينا لشاهدٍ

والّا فكُلُّ العلَمينَ شهودُ

والّا فكُلُّ العلَمينَ شهودُ

Yours is the merit; among us it needs no witness,

You need no witness among us for your merit

And if it did, all creation would bear witness.

Else all the worlds stand witness

تجرَّدتَ عَن دُنياك معتزلاً لها

تجرَّدتَ عَن دُنياك معتزلاً لها

وَلَستَ سوى وجه الالِه تُريدُ

وَلَستَ سوى وجه الالِه تُريدُ

You renounced your worldly life, withdrawing from it,

You detached yourself from your world, secluding yourself from it

And seek nothing but the face of God.

And you desire nothing but the face of God

وَلكنَّها لم تَرضَ عنك تجرُّداً

وَلكنَّها لم تَرضَ عنك تجرُّداً

فوافَتك عَن شَوقٍ وانت بَعيدُ

فوافَتك عَن شَوقٍ وانت بَعيدُ

But it would not accept your renunciation,

But it did not accept your detachment from it

So it came to you out of longing, though you were far away.

And came to you out of longing, while you were far

وَأَهدتك ما فيها من المجد والعُلى

وَأَهدتك ما فيها من المجد والعُلى

كَزائرَةٍ منها اليك وُفودُ

كَزائرَةٍ منها اليك وُفودُ

And gave you the glory and eminence it contained,

It gifted you the glory and sublimity within it

Like a visitor whose delegations come to you.

Like a visitor to you, thronging

وَمثلُك أَسمى رتبةً من حُطامها

وَمثلُك أَسمى رتبةً من حُطامها

ولكن بِما يَقنو الكَريمُ يَجودُ

ولكن بِما يَقنو الكَريمُ يَجودُ

And one like you is loftier in rank than its worldly dross,

And the likes of you are of a status loftier than its rubble

But the generous man gives freely of what he possesses.

But the noble gives with what brings tranquility to the soul

فخرتَ بها وُسمَ الملوك دلالةً

فخرتَ بها وُسمَ الملوك دلالةً

على ذاك لا شيءٌ هناك جَديدُ

على ذاك لا شيءٌ هناك جَديدُ

You took pride in them—the insignia of kings—as a sign

You took pride in it, and the name of kings is an indication

Of that; there is nothing new in this.

Of that, nothing new awaits over there

رفعتَ لنا شأناً الى الاوج واصلاً

رفعتَ لنا شأناً الى الاوج واصلاً

على اننا بَيتٌ وانت عَمودُ

على اننا بَيتٌ وانت عَمودُ

You raised our standing to the zenith,

You raised our status to the pinnacle, origin

For we are a house, and you are its pillar.

That we are a house, and you the pillar

أَخو همَّةٍ لا تنثني في ملَّمةٍ

أَخو همَّةٍ لا تنثني في ملَّمةٍ

واسياف عَزمٍ ما لهنَّ غمودُ

واسياف عَزمٍ ما لهنَّ غمودُ

A man of resolve that never bends in calamity,

A brother of ambition that does not bend in adversity

And swords of determination that have no sheaths.

And blades of determination that have no sheaths

لَقَد شَمِلَ الشَرقَ اعتنآؤُكَ كُلَّهُ

لَقَد شَمِلَ الشَرقَ اعتنآؤُكَ كُلَّهُ

تَدور على أَنحآئِهِ وَتَرودُ

تَدور على أَنحآئِهِ وَتَرودُ

Your care has indeed embraced the whole East,

Your care has encompassed the entire East

You travel through its regions and roam.

Circling its regions, wandering

فانتَ كَشَمسٍ يشمَل الارضَ نورُها

فانتَ كَشَمسٍ يشمَل الارضَ نورُها

وَغيثٍ عليها بالحَياءِ يَجودُ

وَغيثٍ عليها بالحَياءِ يَجودُ

For you are like a sun whose light embraces the earth,

You are like a sun whose light covers the earth

And rain that lavishes its showers upon it.

And rain upon it generously bestowing life
