1. هنَاك خليفة الله السرورُ

    وما جاءت إليك به الدهورُ

    May joy gladden you, O Caliph of God,

    and what the ages have brought you,

  2. وفَتْحٌ جلَّ موقِعُه إلى أن

    تعاظم أن يُقاس به نظير

    and a conquest whose impact was so great that

    it grew too mighty for any equal to be compared with it.

  3. غدت تُرْكُ العراق لديه أَسَرْى

    ودَيْلمُهَا بعفوك تستجير

    The Turks of Iraq became captives in that conquest,

    and its Daylamites seek shelter in your pardon.

  4. وقد طارت قلوبهمُ خُفُوقاً

    إلى أن لم تَحصِّنها الصدور

    And their hearts had taken flight, throbbing,

    until their breasts could no longer shield them.

  5. أثَرْتَ عليهمُ بالشام حربا

    تَضعضَع بالعراق لها السَّريرُ

    You stirred up a war against them in al-Sham,

    at which the throne in Iraq tottered.

  6. ودان بها لك العاصي وألقتْ

    أزِمَّتها لكفِّيك الأمور

    And through it the rebel submitted to you, and affairs cast

    their reins into your two hands.

  7. فأنت لسان فخر بني عليّ

    وبدر ملوكها التمُّ المنير

    For you are the voice of the pride of Ali's sons,

    and the full, radiant moon among their kings.

  8. أميرَ المؤمنين أنا لِرَبِّي

    على ما قد حباك به شَكور

    O Commander of the Faithful, to my Lord I am

    deeply grateful for what He has bestowed upon you.
