1. When we behold Abu al-Fath's beautiful face
The spirits are filled with triumph and conquest

2. And the sun reveals its swords and its arrows
While its glances and spearpoints quiver

3. And if his soul inclines toward peace and truce
His glances refuse any leaning to peace and truce

4. How amazing is a Samaritan who cheats the sluggish
With loss while profiting with gain

5. And whose faith says "No touching" yet
He kills those he loves in jest in earnest

6. And when the ants of his cheek wandered
He substituted beans for the hearts of grain

7. When our eyes examined the water of his cheek
We drew the flame of fire in water with a ladle
