1. My Master, good tidings of the forthcoming time,
And of the radiant dawn that has emerged.

2. A time whose good omens bring joy,
Wherein every boaster and retarder rests.

3. A time whose dawn has revealed its face, as though
It were the midday sun appearing to the stranded.

4. It has fully realized the manifest conquest, with all
That dazzles intellects, leaving no stronghold.

5. The banners of jihad rest,
Blown by the eastern wind and the late summer breeze.

6. This jihad, whose exemplar you emulate
In the footsteps of the Messenger, the Envoy.

7. This guidance, whose morning light has shone
Guiding the path of rectitude for every stray.

8. These conquests, their concealment now revealed,
With the state of affairs explaining the ambiguous.

9. It has come to you, lowering its wings,
The pillar of your kingdom elevated and lofty.

10. So arise for what you desire, with none to repel,
And by your felicity open every locked door.

11. The enemies have taken refuge in a protection
You have confined them to, by your accepted struggle.

12. To God belong your outstanding qualities,
Transcending the realms of early time.

13. To God belong your noble deeds and great exploits -
Who can match the judicious and reliant?

14. A face, when the rays of its light shine forth,
Dispelling the gloom with its dazzling dawn.

15. A palm whose generosity benefits the seekers,
Thereby sparing the tribulation of distressed time.

16. You brandish your sword in the fray, making it seem
A torrent pouring in the valley's basin.

17. You shake your dripping blade, upright
In the dark night, like a flaming meteor.

18. So you are victorious, your sword dominant,
Your protector trustworthy, your destiny ascendant.

19. A way for the Prophet's helpers, its newness
Relayed from early to late.

20. And for al-Andalus's people, you are the victory
Whereby they attained the sweetest watering place.

21. A king like our Master Caliph Yusuf -
A king whose perfection was never concealed.

22. A king who apportions his war or peace
Between scripture and brigades descended.

23. He did not look upon the horizons,
Except to unravel every complex affair.

24. O Defender of the Faith, whose existence
Announced good tidings to every hopeful soul.

25. You have sent perpetuating mercy into the far horizons -
How excellent an existence with its ceaseless generosity!

26. You have uplifted your brother, your successor in grace,
Heir apparent and most righteous, my father Abu Hassan Ali.

27. You supplemented him with an army of your victory,
Whereby the schemes of the deceitful unbeliever are weakened.

28. Its firm resolutions have narrowed the horizons
Of the transgressors, like the setting of a departing star.

29. By you, guidance was found in war whenever
The faith took refuge in its most impregnable asylum.

30. By you, guidance was found in terrifying the enemy
When zeal left the souls of the first brigade.

31. When the two armies met in hostile land,
And you cast them with severe, hastening might,

32. It called out to the warriors of jihad - come forward!
Surveying them with the gaze of one who contemplates.

33. So they eagerly raced to the caller of guidance,
While the Romans despaired of the paths of salvation.

34. Their land narrowed around them and they halted,
As the water gathers itself into streams.

35. The groups of enemies then turned and bent,
Some routed, others worn down.

36. Their ostriches fled quickly after they had stood
Like the stance of a submissive, humiliated creature.

37. They slipped away in flight, while their army
Was left between disgraced and misguided.

38. Then the desired arrived, achieving what he wished
Of noble aims and most beautiful works.

39. So congratulate his arrival and grace in coming
To your lofty abode in the most noble dwelling.

40. Congratulations on the happiest season; rejoice in it!
For its arrival fulfils long cherished hopes.

41. And to you - the best of those whose hands I have grasped
With the most generous and munificent Bestower.

42. By the kingdom you have attained, O King Contentment
It is not by what I profess to you that I implore favor.

43. You remain, standards victorious, divinely supported,
Vanquishing enemies in present and future times.
