1. Khalid is immortal in every age, immortal
His name, a melody on every tongue

2. A leader whom no leader can match
His name outshines the stars in its course

3. A leader who sacrificed his life for God
And challenged death with head held high

4. Whenever he marched to battle his enemies
His banner promised clear victory

5. And he accomplished wonders in his raids
Ask Chosroes about him and the nobles

6. Ask history, it confirms the news:
Which throne withstood the sword of God and bent?

7. He was like a towering mountain which crumbled
And became a fable in books

8. The Caesar knew the sword of the son of al-Walid
Though he was the lord of the crown, the lord of the scepter

9. Ask Yarmouk: How many Romans did al-Walid cut down
And how many fled in fear, the cowards?

10. From his blood-stained sword that never rested
God molded him as he molded mankind

11. Khalid was not made of unfeeling stone
But with faith and conviction he was clad

12. The strength of faith is the secret of triumph
A horseman who knew not the meaning of defeat

13. With him were two swords: an Indian blade and the true religion
One hand held the sword aloft

14. The other grasped the Holy Book
And both swords struck with force

15. He fought for God with unwavering resolve
The sword of the son of al-Walid defied paganism

16. If he won in battle, it was a clear victory
If he died, he was with God a martyr

17. So he won his Paradise and its bliss
A hero who never sought means of escape

18. In the fray, nor feared the blows of swords
He sought death, so life eluded him

19. Whenever he joined battle, craving the fight
Those who fled him intensified their flight

20. The lion died in his lair, and he said:
How can I meet my end except by the sword?

21. Death erred by taking me away from battle
When that body had exhausted all wounds

22. After striving hard in pursuit
Khalid is immortal in every age, immortal

23. His name, a melody on every tongue
A leader whom no leader can match

24. His name outshines the stars in its course
