1. The stars of good fortune rose from their horizons,
The land shone bright with their rising.

2. For the supreme eyebrow who directs determination,
United with its Levant and Iraq.

3. With the crescent moons of guidance for the Arabs
So the goal of its zeal is to catch up with it.

4. The risings upon guidance completely,
And the settings upon deviation vanishing.

5. The new moon rises over the wastelands in comfort
As guidance and kingdom spread their shade.

6. Thus religion flourishes from the dew of its pouring,
And blasphemy trembles from the flood of its rage.

7. Successor to al-Mansur in his resolves,
And the horses racing with their necks outstretched.

8. The throats of singers were adorned by him, after
The clamor bid farewell to their gatherings and separation.

9. Sipping the drafts before their very lips,
And embracing the heroes before their very throats.

10. The blades quivered in their sheaths toward him,
And the horses inclined their necks toward him.

11. Bursting forth upon the wastelands from valor,
By it the days gained in their provisions.

12. Baring latent might,
If war bared its legs to him.

13. Souls that found in him the fragrance of hopes would ransom him,
And gazes that eyed him longingly,

14. As though they could carry him in their pupils.
In the garden of kingship wherein flows

15. The water of bliss, gladdening in its leaves,
And all things gained more beauty,

16. Even the doves of Aika in their collars.
O you who populated the ways of guidance the most,

17. No birds chirped after the horses were set loose.
