| Long live the King! |
| Long live the King, |
| His rank exalted, |
| His flags flying high, |
| In sublimity. |
| O King of the Arabs, |
| You are greatly honoured |
| By being a descendent of |
| The best Prophet, |
| A great lineage |
| That all major books spoke of. |
| We realised our aspirations, |
| When you regenerated for us |
| A renaissance that motivates us, |
| A renaissance that towers |
| Above the high, rising stars. |
| O King of the Arabs, |
| You are greatly honoured |
| By being a descendent of |
| The best Prophet, |
| A great lineage |
| That all major books spoke of. |
| The glorified youth |
| Are your devoted soldiers. |
| Their resolve will never subside |
| And die away, |
| Because from you, |
| They learn perseverance. |
| O King of the Arabs, |
| You are greatly honoured |
| By being a descendent of |
| The best Prophet, |
| A great lineage |
| That all major books spoke of. |
| May you always be |
| A light, a guide |
| And a master among people, |
| Delighted and exalted. |
| And under your flags, |
| The glory of the Arabs |
| Rises high. |
| O King of the Arabs, |
| You are greatly honoured |
| By being a descendent of |
| The best Prophet, |
| A great lineage |
| That all major books spoke of. |
