1. The unity of religion shows you are its organizer,
And the party of polytheism knew you are its defeater.

2. The Merciful strengthened the pillars of His religion,
So its builder was supported and its destroyer demolished.

3. He excluded from it those who ally with its enemy,
And took as an ally whoever allies with it, so he is its steadfast companion.

4. And if time brings distress to its kingdom, its landmarks remain,
And if fate topples its flags, its symbols endure.

5. So He named him Mansur, confirming his grandfather,
And its spears and swords confirmed this.

6. He crowned him with the double crown of leadership, declaring
What he knows of the unseen secrets as its knower.

7. A youth born of war and nursed by
The events of the one who ignited guidance and his epic battles.

8. Redeemed, and nothing but the saddles are his cradle,
Protected, and nothing but the swords are his talismans.

9. Renewer of a kingdom his ancestors attained,
The glory of the guide’s kingdoms and their noblemen.

10. So he expressed the days of wandering and followed
What magnified his injuries and greatest wounds.

11. And his life conceived him for thrusting and striking,
And his death purified him for generosity and praise.

12. Courageous, but the steeds are his strongholds,
Noble, but the sublime traits are his virtues.

13. The horses, the white swords and the spears came to him
Standing against whom no effort of strivers can withstand.

14. And the kingdoms parted before him from the path of guidance
So none competes with him but the good praise.

15. Distributor of what he contains in the path of dew,
And if fate had biased the distribution against him in fortune.

16. So whoever hopes for trickery from the kingdom,
And whatever it harbored only harbored against you its proboscises.

17. And no eyes were raised but to you,
And no trunks were pointed but at you its pointers.

18. And no crown settled but on your forehead its crown,
And no ring rested but in your right hand its seal.

19. So how can an ignorant one insolently in ignorance
Keep safe its protector and obligate its seal?

20. So his tyranny in the injustice of ambitions was his tyranny,
And his whims in lies were his pointers.

21. He permitted the sanctity of Islam as war booty for polytheism
To be divided between the pillagers, its booties.

22. And he unlocked the seal of God from His sanctities
To be ravished of what its seals contain.

23. And he counted the blood of Muslims as a pleasure
So he frolicked among the enemies about those who would condemn him.

24. So if war brought him supporters, they are his supporters,
Cutters of what its twisting misguided.

25. And if the sleeve of depravity covered him, soon for it
His pillow whispers to him and his sleeper awakens.

26. One morning, religion called you from the capture of wrongdoing,
And its sanctities were about to be violated.

27. So you answered it, and its darkness dispersed from it,
And you came to it, so its tyrannies disavowed it.

28. And the extension of God came to you from every supporter
To the truth, guiding to you its newcomers.

29. And Abu Mas'ud called victory joyfully,
Your resolves which his resolves follow.

30. With love like the rain of downpour watering its meadows,
And might like the heat of fire kindling its blazing.

31. Against all those you battled, so he is your battling opponent,
And whoever made peace with you, so he is its peacemaker.

32. And the leader of its rebellion clung to polytheism
To a king whose protector is the Lord of the heavens.

33. So they did not gallop a moment toward you in a raid,
But you made its footing easy to submit.

34. Nor did they point a sword toward you and aim its edge,
Except it veered from the side of your upright spear.

35. Nor did they fortify a stronghold to turn you from them,
Except you faced it only for its pillars to collapse.

36. And if they attained lives in a drop of resin,
You are the victor of what God does not protect its loser.

37. So how many masked ones you drove in its folds,
The lives of the enemies are its drinking and food.

38. A hybrid of the wing of night from the stars of dusk,
Its robe, and from the sun of daytime its turban.

39. As if the sun's rays under its clouds,
When the two hosts meet, a secret and its concealer.

40. It clamors with the pounding of scared prey,
Its lions toward the enemy and its striders.

41. As the wind's gale carried the litter of the caravan,
Or its clouds poured down with copious rain its turbans.

42. And it humbled the air's course toward its building,
Swooping in peace, it's time for whoever does not make peace with it.

43. And if mountains of firewood did not collide with it,
Firewood hills would have approached colliding with it.

44. And if catapults did not vie with it, the stars
Of ammunition would have rushed upon you competing with it.

45. And it's not as though if the heavenly raised a miracle,
Of ladders and heights its stairways would reach it.

46. So soon the evil of its wolves overpowered,
And the wolf cub barked in that den, its vain howls.

47. And the owl of falsehoods was frightened from its night,
And the nest of hypocrisy, its comforts were dispersed.

48. And you replaced the rule of God from the rule of its misguidance,
So the rule of God implemented what you rule.

49. So O Lord of a nose the hypocrisy mutilated!
With it, and the son of Shinj, small of nose, subjugating it.

50. One morning, its mind and self took flight
From your sword, a day of still horror silencing it.

51. So when death, which it declared upon itself, preoccupied it,
Life, which is its decliner, regrets it.

52. So the edges of spears receive it while it's their target,
And the lightning of doom strikes it while it's its blamer.

53. When it nearly fulfilled its sorrow and grief,
Kinship of the world fulfilled for it that you are its merciful.

54. So I have not seen a judgment more decisive than when
Its traits of nobility arbitrated over its sword the day of disputes.

55. Nor patience the like you wear toward anger,
Nor anger the like you swallow with patience, repressing it.

56. So you judged him the judgment of equals, though he told
The crimes of Quraiza and its deep-seated hatred and crimes.

57. So he left while the Owner of the Throne gave you his throne,
And he fled while your good fortune shone with its newcomers.

58. And you were asked while the peaks of your good fortune appeared with wishes,
And his ominous ends fled with him among the greatest losers.

59. The riding camels sing of your opening in returning caravans,
And its doves cry over him with the dirge, its mourners.

60. So whoever the Merciful grants victory, such are his resolves,
And whoever the Merciful defeats, such are his fleers.

61. You camped at a toppled place while our steeds
Stand guarding it, their bodies and skulls.

62. And a guilty confessor, anguished by it,
Called upon you while its bereavements stood over him.

63. When death, which declared upon his soul, preoccupies him,
Life, which is its disdainer, regrets him.

64. So the edges of spears receive him while he's their target,
And the lightning of doom strikes him while he's its blamer.

65. If they attained lives in a drop of resin,
You are the victor of what God does not protect its loser.

66. So how many you drove in its folds masked,
The lives of the enemies are its drinking and food.

67. A hybrid of the wing of night from the stars of dusk,
Its garb, and from the daytime sun its turbans.

68. As if the sun's rays under its clouds,
When the two hosts gathered, a secret and its concealer.
