1. The liberation of Syria by the hand of the Prophet
In the East it rang out to the farthest reaches of the West

2. A conquest whose angels sang praises
And the ear of the planet listened attentively to its reverberations

3. A conquest that competes with the greatest victories
Majestic, its glory crowding at the shoulders

4. Jerusalem inspires it around what surrounds it
And Damascus numbers it with gilded script

5. Its light radiated by Lebanon in its environs
Vanquishing all traces of the disappearing dusk

6. And the House of Purity spreads it as good tidings
For which the Pleiades arrange the most splendid procession

7. Rejoice, O beloved Syria, and be jubilant
At the deliverance of your people and be joyous

8. For God has answered your request so express
As much as you wish in praise of God, and elaborate

9. You have attained what you sought, which was
From every aspect the most difficult request

10. The Almighty saved you, fashioned by the verses of praise
And explain the quality of this favor

11. I am, for your great Savior, grateful
And for this victory of His, most admiring

12. And let my poetry's reader, the chronicler, describe
The liberation of Syria by the hand of the Prophet

13. Its sparks flew from the Balkans
And ignited, then pervaded all the countries

14. And it ended with them just as it had begun
Whether its youth or its quiescence, the two are equal

15. Had it not been for the Turks' opposition, it would have
Quickly extinguished, and not ignited in the uprising

16. But with their entry it reached the extent of fifty months
With two months above it

17. They prevented the alliance with Russia, and it was not
Possible to avert this prevention

18. And Bulgaria followed in their footsteps
Joining with them and with the Germans

19. And Romania mobilized for the attack in the battlefield
To support the alliance

20. But it did not delay in recoiling
Dragging the disgrace of desertion

21. And the Germans monopolized the Balkans, no one was saved
From their hands except Greece

22. Seemingly, they maintained neutrality, and their inclination
Secretly was towards the Germans, weighing down

23. And if they had been given the choice, they would have declared
Their joining them without hesitation

24. But they and their country were in the grip of the alliance
They devised the plan of secrecy

25. And since the month of the war began they did not
Cease or desist from scheming

26. Tracing the steps of the King as if
Constantine in the land was a second Lord

27. So he sowed in their hearts an inclination
Towards William, greatest of tyrants

28. And people in the world are, as they said, of the
Religion of the King and creed of the Sultan

29. By indication of the son of his in-law, he deceived his people
Into the wastes of misguidance and deviation

30. And they forgot the hand of the alliance over Greece
Man is imprinted with forgetfulness

31. Were it not for their wise minister, they would have delved
Into unbelief and denial of benevolence

32. Venizelos, the man who for his country
Is the buttress of the edifice of excellence and clarity

33. How many equals a nation in the people
How many a nation no human equals

34. And it suffices the Greeks pride that
From their people is Venizelos the Greek

35. Unique in his integrity and resolve
Whose mention is the subject of every tongue

36. And in his love for his country intense fervor
And in his loyalty to the allies utter devotion

37. Had Constantine kept his pact
To the entente on the day of disaster and piercing

38. The Bulgars would not have sunk the claw of their betrayal
Into it, nor reached the flames of aggression

39. But he fell short of it while it was amidst
Its desolation, suffering the affliction of the ordeal

40. And by the counsel of his guide he took lightly
Warning him of the evil consequence of defiance

41. And to it he set out in the Dardanelles, opposing
What he intended, so he was second to it

42. And prevented him from what he intended the day of Salonica
So he recoiled from the allies, a victory of Danis

43. He did not stop trying to obstruct everything
To which they applied effort in the Balkans

44. And he assaulted their soldiers when he turned on them
They trod and thought they were safe

45. Until they did to him what is not done
To the likes of those with crowns

46. And his minister turned away from him, and his command
Had been until now the greatest helper

47. And with his deposition the decree was issued
Signed by the esteemed high alliance council

48. And Greece's stumbling block was removed through him
And it disavowed the accusation of enmity

49. And its soldiers joined the allies in
Stirring the fierce flames of fire

50. And to the allies then masses came
Of the elite of the brave and bold

51. And for its vanguards Dusbury the hero
Who demonstrated over the peers his competence

52. He charged and stormed the Austrian house and in the
Bulgars inflicted the most gaping wounds

53. And on their flanks the regiments of Serbia
In the attack swooping like eagles

54. And upon the remnants of the people of Vienna and Sophia
Like lions pouncing on the flocks

55. They scattered the necks of their crowds so they dispersed
And scattered into the wilderness and wastelands

56. Thus Bulgaria turned against them and its men
Fell before the allies in submission

57. And the Bulgars wavered in Germany
Terrifying hearts and confusing minds

58. No pillar of its building trembled
Except that the rest of its pillars shook

59. And the Turks acquiesced and emulated Bulgaria
And the Austrians halted between the Ottomans

60. And Germany was left isolated, as
The outcast leper

61. Yesterday it had its supporters around it
While today it is without supporters

62. And the beasts of Foch agitating in its army
No distinction between the brave and weak

63. Inciting their tearing apart and making them taste
Horrors that would whiten the cheeks of infants

64. And it had no choice with them but
To surrender to the allies and submission

65. The mind cannot conceive the harm
That it brought upon civilization

66. But it met the punishment of its tyranny
And aggression and oppression

67. And so it fulfilled, the Almighty spoke true that
Upon the aggressor revolve the cycles of events
