1. This defense and these armies,
Did you feel secure that the lions would leap?

2. Egypt the pursued, her banners fluttered,
A hero whose stillness is clamor and chase.

3. From the side of the strong army followed
His leaps and the rumbling of thunder.

4. The vanguards advanced with his troops
So the heroes and leaders learned.

5. A people when the glories of their house shone
Swords in holy war shined.

6. They uncovered the darkness, they are guiding stars
Their sides anchored, they are pillars.

7. For the suns there is an appointed time that comes
And events are full, they have no appointed time.

8. Earthquakes overflowed around her and wanted her
But the highest heavens were supporters.

9. They of the house of Badr, what have they
Except martyrdom, their request and purpose?

10. If one of them goes forth into battle
Al-Zubayr went forth and the first, Al-Miqdad.

11. They were born life for the countries so they were blessed
Those wombs and the births were blessed.

12. They progressed on pure, shining faith
Neither unbelief whitened it nor atheism.

13. The mothers are glory when they birthed them
And the fathers and forefathers are happiness.

14. Their ribs were folded over Egypt’s belly
So the people found in her warmth and heart.

15. Its title and events are stillness
And its ideal and events are determination.

16. And I saw them, and all of life
And time in its entirety grief and mourning.

17. And I see in my house a tear from Ali
That is usual for crying eyes.

18. Egypt raged, gathering and noble
And enduring, sinking, and the protectors firm.

19. They bombed its army’s weapons with their hands
So a flag fell for it and pillar collapsed.

20. Then the strongholds and citadels are places of death
And the blades and lions are bound.

21. The regrets of a freeman never leave himself
Until the enslavement of his people leaves.

22. Is it the dust of a people or ashes of dried thorns
That events blew upon so it is embers?

23. What are the people, chaos with no protected sanctuary
Except vanishing insects and locusts?

24. I grieve over the valley, its protectors sleep
And the assailants riot in its flanks.

25. The wolves were permitted sustenance untroubled
And of the peoples are muzzled dogs and chained.

26. Hunting is of the rituals of life for God-fearing
Who dread the disgrace of humiliation when hunted.

27. So when the vile became ascetics as though they never believed
And the invaders are like ascetics.

28. A religion its successive messengers guide
And the succession of noble prophets.

29. Its rulings polished swords unsheathed
And its limits swords and armies.

30. Those who fling from Hell lightning bolts
For the kingdoms and peoples are harvest.

31. Those who swim upon the clouds as though
For jinn in the momentous event are catchers.

32. Those who for it their eyes keep vigil awake
When the seas take slumber and rest.

33. Those who surpass every soarer in flight
Remaining vigilant, prowling to prey.

34. That life flowed to its purposes
So the seas are paths and the winds steeds.

35. And if you asked about the difficulties and their rule
Then knowledge for the steep ascent is guide.

36. Defense was serious so for the defenders their right
And right taken forcibly and restored.

37. Men are indeed striving for their country
Protecting sanctuary and shielding.

38. And a lad ardent in holy war himself
Openhanded with thousands of souls, generous.

39. The martyr’s family, and I called none but the exalted
They for the countries are leaders most splendid.

40. You are the foremost in truth so arise
With the matter - a nation and countries arise!

41. Your pact is glory for Egypt and joy
And your way in her guidance and integrity.

42. You taught people valor in humiliation
And honor with honest holy war and strife.

43. Were it not for your stands and your ordeal’s sincerity
You protect the country’s children or they would perish

44. Days when the roads are protected by one tyrannical
Thunderbolts striking, lightning in torrents.

45. He decides for Egypt a way his whim
Oppression and his book’s entirety enslavement.

46. When you shot you opened its straits
The edifices collapsed and the dams vanished.

47. Then the events there is no doubting them
And the armies have no counting.

48. And the openings leaves scrutinizers baffled
And Baghdad envious of its news.

49. The terrors of the frightened valley calmed and cleared
The souls’ alarm and the tormentor did not clear.

50. From the oppressors one who fears has safe refuge
And from the blades resting place and pillow.

51. The eyes of the ignorant overnighted gratified
And living is grief lying in ambush and sleep.

52. The exalted left the country humiliated
To them the exalted owned the necks and ruled

53. For each faction is there an upright leader?
In each region harm and corruption abound.

54. O people of the valley, its wolves surge
And the symptoms of evil in it proliferate.

55. This is your imam so follow the ways of guidance
Good is the imam, star that gives guidance.

56. Walk the balanced ways for he
Is the martyr's light that far extends.

57. Trust and faith and honesty of resolve
Such treasures have no diminishing.
