1. The crown of light shone atop your head
A crown of fortune and prosperity gathered

2. O sword of the rightly guided family, not a heavy sword
Drink happily as the crown is raised above you

3. It is right that they crowned you as you deserve it
And right deserves to be given and followed

4. A sword you have worn whose blows land
As if its sharpness was molded by your resolve

5. It produced from it an artful, swift, serving blade
Your white hands adorned it, well-crafted

6. When you called we answered if our tradition
Is to respond when the guide of righteousness calls

7. So be for us the best leader we hope for
For the best is the goal of whoever followed us

8. And the people chant, O King of Iraq return
My glory at last and my glory at first set forth

9. We were free in life and our goal
Is to live as we were and unite

10. You who return to us the glory past
In its days as if glory had returned

11. In your guarantee after God, our unity
So strive with your people not to separate

12. In agreement we ruled the land then it went
With discord the great kingdom snatched away

13. O dynasty of the noblest of Mudar
You tied the rope of hope that was severed

14. And you, O Faisal, the noblest of kings
If they seek horizons of glory rising

15. He plunged into politics and clamor a young man
In opinion and by sword each he mastered

16. We were thirsty longing for its rising
So the rain came visiting and quenching

17. Iraq attained its wishes today and our souls rejoiced
And the nation came together united

18. The day of Ghadeer the chain of its pool cleared
So all found in the small chain a watering hole

19. A day in which hearing and visions thrived
On what you see and hear witnessing

20. A day in which the throne of the Most High a king ascended
By his glory the throne he deserved, acknowledged

21. So love brought tears from us years telling
What was in hearts so it gained weeping

22. So may the king rejoice and Iraq in him
For with the excellent Hashemites fortune rose
