Welcome to the one whose arrival brings honor and joy,
the people of Al‑‘Āriḍ rejoiced at his visit, all of them alike.
The gift of Al‑Ḥāyer is men of noble standing,
whenever you appear, O King, they rise to meet your needs.
The sons of Al‑‘Azīzi confront the fiercest foes,
their enemy finds no rest in life or sleep.
We are patient in the wars of tribes,
and no one crosses our borders without paying the price.
For the sake of our lands, our forefathers watered the years with blood,
they sold their souls with blades drawn from their sheaths.
Blood flowed hot, and deeds became clear,
written in history, lasting through time.
We are your people, as were our ancestors before us,
in the days when tribes rose in honor and stood as one.
And you are the King—before you, the harsh becomes gentle,
and we are your strength when the cold wind turns to burning sand.
O Abu Fahd, O Saud, noble of the right hand,
you lifted the burdens from the entire Peninsula.
All Arabs listen to you and obey,
even nations seal their treaties with your approval.
