يا أيها الملك المصنور من يمن

يا أيها الملك المصنور من يمن

والمبتني نسبا غير الذي انتسبا

والمبتني نسبا غير الذي انتسبا

O victorious king from Yemen,

O you the adorned king from Yemen

And builder of a lineage other than the one he descends from,

And whose lineage is unlike what they claimed

بغزوة في قلوب الشرك راتعة

بغزوة في قلوب الشرك راتعة

بين المنايا تناغي السمر والقضبا

بين المنايا تناغي السمر والقضبا

Through a campaign grazing freely in the heartlands of idolatry,

With an invasion in the hearts of polytheism raging

Amid deaths, murmuring to tawny lances and swords.

Between the times, the night and dawn vie

أما ترى العين تجري فوق مرمرها

أما ترى العين تجري فوق مرمرها

زهوا فتجري على أحسائها الطربا

زهوا فتجري على أحسائها الطربا

Do you not see the spring flowing over its marble,

Do you not see the spring flowing above its marble

Proudly, making rapture flow over its water-holding hollows?

With glory, so it flows over its banks exultantly

أجرَيتَهَا فطما الزاهي بجريتها

أجرَيتَهَا فطما الزاهي بجريتها

كما طَمَوتَ فَسُدتَ العُجمَ والعَرَبا

كما طَمَوتَ فَسُدتَ العُجمَ والعَرَبا

You made it flow, and al-Zāhī overflowed with its flow,

You made it flow, so it flooded the blooming valley with its flowing

Just as you surged high and became lord of non-Arabs and Arabs.

Just as you vanquished, so the non-Arabs and Arabs were corrupted
