1. The crescent of good fortune rose from the horizon of victory,
And the lightning of glory flashed from the banner of pride.

2. With ambitions the earth became their burial ground,
And from an army led by the guide of triumph.

3. The stance of earth's kings from their dominance,
Is like the stance of rescued birds from the claws of a falcon.

4. Their gazes are fixed towards His Majesty,
Bowing to the brows beneath the grip of coercion.

5. Whoever was not reached by its darkness,
It delivered him, before it, to the darkness of panic.

6. So they have no station except the belly of beasts,
Or the nests of birds, other than repenting.

7. Leaving them fallen at every slope,
Intoxicated with cups of death, not wine.

8. How the sword of revenge felled the Romans' west,
And the raider of killing and captivity revolved around them.

9. How it clothed the heroes in the ferocity of battle,
Corpses woven from seasoned brown spear wood.

10. Every young gazelle wept for them,
Shedding copious red tears over them.

11. Did the endeavor of the blacks fail, or was their view misguided?
Or did they, in their claim, resist the storm of coercion?

12. They lived an era, grazing like the docile, and forgot
The consequences of what the knocker of time brings.

13. They were not wary until the vanguards of an army approached,
Agitating the lion of the forest with blood-stained victory.

14. Pitch darkness upon them, the night testifies it is the night,
And the darkness within which the potted plants blossomed.

15. Horsemen like flocks of sand grouse with puffed up chests,
Would reach the horizon if it were the range of an eagle.

16. Girded with dripping burdahs as if they are
The outstretched wings of rain drops.

17. How many flags whose shades covered them as if they are
Molted eagle feathers bent into breaking.

18. The Victorious One steadies them, so they are clouds
Raining generosity with flood from its abundance.

19. Nothing of His might except His forbearance,
Let alone the He who accepts repentance and excuses.

20. Let alone the smoothness of forehead as if
Its radiance was borrowed from the full moon's radiance,

21. To a nature - if its diffusion were of perfume,
Then fine perfume would never have belonged to flowers.

22. Such is a nature - Mahdi, Alawite,
Inherited by the honorable family from the honorable.

23. The Mahdi is pleased with you, and his successor acknowledged
What you left of good mention.

24. With one who - if he were to shoot two ranks on his fighting day -
The Syrian army's back would be emptied.

25. So the kingdom of earth be bent, subdued for him,
The far and near will be organized unto the river.

26. Nothing beyond Syria's road except a glance,
And nothing beyond Baghdad, Iraq except a wink.

27. If enemies attempted to seek refuge there
Then they attempted the impossible of matters.

28. If they took the two seas as residence,
Ruin would always flow behind them.

29. If he descended on the endless sea with resolve,
After it, its billows would turn to rubble.

30. Your carpenter is the best of worlds, and you inherited him,
Let alone an inheritance, and let alone a Carpenter!

31. You never ceased to be Victorious,
And through you days continued, clear in bearing good news.

32. No blessing except that receiving it is from you,
No noble deed except that its freshness flows from your palm.
