1. دَعِ الحُزنَ في الدُّنيا وبَشِّرْ عِبادَها

    فعبدُ العزيزِ اليومَ فكَّ حِدادَها

    Lay aside sorrow in this world, and give its people glad tidings;

    For Abd al-Aziz today has lifted its mourning.

  2. قَدِ اختارَهُ اللهُ الذي هو عَبدُهُ

    خَليفَتهُ عن حِكمةٍ قد أرادَها

    God, whose servant he is, has chosen him

    As His caliph, for a wise purpose He intended.

  3. فقامَ بأمرِ اللهِ في عَرشِ دَولةٍ

    أعَزَّ مبانيها وأعلى عِمادَها

    So, at God's command, he rose upon a realm's throne;

    He strengthened its edifices and raised its pillar high.

  4. وألقَى لدى تارِيخهِ عينَ جُودِهِ

    فَقَرَّرَ في صَدرِ البِلادِ فؤَادَها

    And into his chronogram he cast the essence of his bounty,

    And so established the land's heart within its breast.
