1. The neighing of meadows and the swaying of slender palm trees,
Without them the fruits of victory cannot be plucked.

2. The patience of the young man in dire straits is outstanding,
Yet it points to the path of glory.

3. Under the darkness of adversity the faces of praise shine,
And the gathering of glory in the horde of nobility.

4. Nothing enslaves the free like forgiveness when
An ignoramus commits offense, and the generosity of the magnanimous.

5. He whom war has not lauded, his name remains obscure,
Even if his forefathers were honorable, forgotten.

6. When war envelops supporters, it gives birth
To a preconception of violence against the enemy.

7.
The ranks of the exalted, were it not for the revered one,

8. Their ways would have exhausted empires after Abu Bakr.

9. A crescent and full moon shone so our supplication
To God is the crescent remains with the full moon.

10. A king, when he prances on an obedient steed
On a day of turmoil, seas upon seas can be seen.

11. Knowledgeable in spear throwing so his spears
Land between the ribs and the neck.

12. When he ascends the chest of the armored, working
His ascendance appears atop the spearpoints and back.

13. No cowardly lion, but a ferocious deadly lion
Warding off harm from the cubs' mother in her lair.

14. Hebrews, when the lions pass with their cubs,
The bravest of them soft of step, gentle of movement.

15.
Around him the limbs of beasts, accumulated

16. Growling at the abhorred, screaming with claws bared.
In a valley the lions fear it

17. And recoil from its plateau, and the rugged journey.
With greater fear than it in hearts

18. Though it lowers its gaze affably and cheerfully.
With each lad of the Ayyubids it never ceased

19. To defend appeals or fortify a frontier.
When they take the reins on battle day you’d think them

20. The black lions of conquest in the forest of blondes.
So no burden whoever's might to his equipment

21. And even if scarce as a wrist on a towering palm tree.
If Mars attempted prevention in the horizon

22. It would hover between delights and the horizon.
So O exalted king, a call

23. To you by one crumpled by fiery coals.
A stranger, if he lodges in Egypt, renounces it

24. Yet soon to depart to Egypt.
He has independence from other than you in contentment

25. And as for your benevolence he is a brother in need.
So for sure I do not cease upon the back of Sabsab

26. Wandering or in the belly of desolate Dawiyah
Splitting the heart of the East as if
