1. God has perfected in this sword His ornament,
And taken the name of al-Mu'izz ad-Din with glory,
١. قد أكملَ اللّه في ذا السيفِ حِلْيَتَهُ
واختالَ باسم معزِّ الدين مُنتَقَشا
2. As though a snake had fed its steel venom
And clothed its surface with the speckles of its skin.
٢. كأنّ أفعى سَقَتْ فولاذَه حُمَةً
وألبَسَتْ جلْدَهُ من وَشيِها نَمَشَا
