يا من غَدَتْ لعُلاهُ

يا من غَدَتْ لعُلاهُ

زُهْرُ النّجومِ مَطايَا

زُهْرُ النّجومِ مَطايَا

O you, for whose exalted rank

O you whose glory

the bright stars have become mounts,

The stars' flowers were made horses

محلُّ قَدْرِك عِنْدي

محلُّ قَدْرِك عِنْدي

يجوزُ حَدَّ التَّحايا

يجوزُ حَدَّ التَّحايا

Your standing in my esteem

Your merit in my eyes

surpasses the bounds of salutations.

Transcends all praise

لكنّ أَهلَ المعالي

لكنّ أَهلَ المعالي

والظَّرْفِ سَنُّوا الهَدايا

والظَّرْفِ سَنُّوا الهَدايا

But those of noble distinction

Yet the eminent

and refinement have made gifts customary.

Gifted you presents

وقد بعثتُ وِدادي

وقد بعثتُ وِدادي

وأَبْرَمِيساً ورَايَا

وأَبْرَمِيساً ورَايَا

And I have sent my affection,

I sent you my love

and abramis and raya fish.

As well as nightingales and gazelles

يلتذُّه كلُّ ذَوْقٍ

يلتذُّه كلُّ ذَوْقٍ

وتَصْطَفِيه الحَوايا

وتَصْطَفِيه الحَوايا

Every palate relishes it,

To give joy to every taste

and the entrails favor it.

And be chosen by yearnings

لا زلتَ تسمو وتَسْقي

لا زلتَ تسمو وتَسْقي

عِداكَ كأسَ المنَايا

عِداكَ كأسَ المنَايا

May you ever rise high and give

You still ascend and toast

your foes the cup of death to drink.

Your enemies the cup of death

وسالمَتْك الّليالي

وسالمَتْك الّليالي

وجانَبتْك الرَّزايا

وجانَبتْك الرَّزايا

May the nights be at peace with you,

The nights wished you safety

and calamities keep away from you.

And calamities avoided you
