| Salimta Imaman Li ’arshilbi ladi
warafrafa hawla ’ulakal ’alam Wa zala bi’azmika dawrul fasadi Waqaddasakas saifu ba’dal qalam fadum lizza’amati indal jihad Wa ’indas salami wa ’in dal karam wa’Ish lil karamati fi kulli nad malikan li ’arshil huda Wal himam. |
You are saved Imam, for the crown of my country.
And the flag was waving around you. With your good will, the rule of corruption disappeared. You have been given the sword after the pen. In the time of jihad you will be my leader. Also during peace, and when you are generous. And live for my honor in all situations. A king in the throne of guidance and might. |
