1. Welcome O Lord of festival
Welcome O genius of rhetoric

2. King of independent hearts
With his throne and scepter

3. And crowned, shone the rays
Of his crown beyond sight

4. Welcome O Shawqi poet of
Eloquence and miracle of rhetoric

5. O surpassed poets how many
Surpasses do you have, exalted one

6. The banner of immortality spread
Over your bed fluttering

7. Gabriel blows in your talent
What overflows on the tongue

8. And inspires your soul when he toured the heavens
So the maidens of paradise are at your side

9. O maidens of meanings
O weeping one over the martyrs when

10. Refused staying in humiliation
Days were like roses

11. With the blood of brave men like paint
You sent over your soft poem

12. In the heat of rabid war
And you shed a tear that cannot be contained

13. Stirred by yearning
The house you spoke of

14. Illusions of two gardens
Your elegy in them forever

15. Two tearful eyes flowing
This and their paradise

16. Is magnificent, marvel and it is brought near
Stop at Hattin and get down

17. To stir your heart whichever mourned me
And look there, do you see

18. Traces of Yusuf in the place
Awaken Salah al-Din lord

19. Of the crown and Yemeni sword
And its kindler, ferocious Ayoubi

20. Horses snarling
With them at dawn neighing

21. And weapons in cheeks
Strike with their swords and nothing

22. Else of smoke from fire
On every daring unto dangers

23. Valiant piercing the gardens
The rings of their armor

24. Ropes of death in arenas of stabbing
And their swords spring water

25. Over their blades, now!
And the obedient horses

26. With slackened reins in charge
Do not waver or protect

27. Stems on day of bet
Hattin, your day forgets not

28. Its two shuddering witnesses
Souls take flight in it

29. From China to China
And you see arrows straightened

30. Over bodies provided
So the earth's skin becomes

31. Red from Franks' blood mixed
They are given to drink from cup of destruction

32. And their king thirsty, worn out
Until the dimness of war cleared

33. And victory high of mane
And Salah al-Din walked under

34. His banner in procession
And the call to prayer rose and returned

35. Its declaration noble caller
O who destroys states, I

36. Have taken refuge in your safety
Palaces were demolished not

37. Built the like in glory are erect
Regret struck Abu Ali

38. So weep those melodies
Those you knew are gone

39. Who do not endure humiliation
In Egypt Ashab desires

40. And here two Ashabs are called
And here is reluctance in battle

41. And pessimism and hesitance
And the soul kills its determination

42. With lengthy excuses and wishes
Take it to yourself and you are

43. Its lord O prince of poetry sing
A beautiful one in it for youth

44. A glance over the guard of beauty
Its breath from a vine

45. Traced back to Hasson son of Han
Alas! The poets one day

46. Reach your high poetry or draw near
