1. The sunset glowed, reminding me of greenery,
And fueled the fire of longing in my heart.

2. When my heart was soothed by the meadow of your knowledge,
The troops of the covenant came seeking it by force.

3. They stir up the darkness of stagnant pools in its expanse,
Thus overpowering the heart, the secret, and the overt.

4. And it finds comfort in their raids from its enemy steeds,
Baring its side for them to seize it by force.

5. Yearning for my intimacy and place of companionship,
And the origin of my youth in which was no lack of pride.

6. My country that nurtured, groomed and refined me,
Its denizens neither hungry nor naked.

7. The clouds rained down provision and victory
To quench the thirst of its valley and all its fortresses.

8. With my soul I ransom it and praise its love,
And sacrifice in its pleasure land and sea.

9. It protected and laid down its soul before obtaining it,
Though hands had harmed it before.

10. It eased attaining it and living in it,
And adorned its mirror, by Allah I know not how.

11. Thus we saw it had a love we witness,
None other, which it embraced to its chest.

12. So the supported standard remains victorious,
And Uthman's pride continues to cloak it.

13. Their resolve, Abd al-Majid leads them,
And he is their exemplar in every major tribulation.

14. May he be granted lasting support, victory and bliss,
To maintain for Allah’s religion a mention of might.
