1. Today its engine roared to life
Today joy spread among the Muslims

2. O day when Salman smiled
Opening to the Muslims joyous gates

3. Our cannons roared at you, so you knew
O league of denial, what the picture was

4. We warned you with the black lion’s roar but the arrogant one
Would not curb the excess of his rein

5. If the pilot has glorious renown
Then the effort of our honored men is thanked

6. They carried you off in flight, while all of you
Have wings of flight on which you flee

7. They flung at you a religious ball
The earth of the tyrant almost boiled over

8. There remains between the two rivers, Tigris
And Euphrates, only graves and battlegrounds
