1. Thanks to the One who gave you what He gave
A Lord who humiliated the angels for your kingdom

2. So He healed the hopes with your right hand just as
Your swords quenched from the blood of your enemies

3. It is an honor by the justice of Allah that
In the two worlds, livelihoods and perditions were divided

4. And Allah made utterly miserable whoever was hostile to you
In creation, and made happiest whoever was loyal to you

5. O time of the Chosen One, after the world shone
Upon him with the star of your pleasure

6. His efforts strove to dig a pit
So he fell into it from the heaven of your highness

7. A fire whose flames he kept kindling
Engulfed him in a meadow watered by your bounty

8. Morning and evening he remained between the folds of betrayal
That robbed him of what you clothed him in blessings

9. Or did the deluded one not see the consequence of him who strove
In blasphemy against what your right hand offered him in bounty?

10. Or did he not see you seek the aid of the Almighty
So He aided and sufficed you, and that sufficed you?

11. Or did he not see His rulings and decrees
Taking their course in destroying whoever defied your authority?

12. Or did he not see the radiance of your crown in the lands
And the flowers of honor are but some of your adornments?

13. Or did he not see the key to the gate of prosperity in
Your right hand, and ease in your facilitation?

14. And whenever you saw an illness whose cure you knew not
Or a time that tired you out before it

15. It was not clear in the evidence of his knowledge
That leadership wants none but you

16. Until his feet sank in the darkness of loss
When he was guided by other than your guidance

17. And Allah showed you therein some of His vengeance
And His ways with whoever showed hostility to you

18. Say to the slain, "No blame for a slaying
You brought upon yourself in enmity to your Master."

19. Woe to your efforts as you stubbornly resist
The sword with which Allah girded you!

20. And made you drink a cup of perdition - and how oft
Before it the cup of life He made you drink!

21. The days do not wear down a sword already drawn -
God cleaved through it with its two edges.

22. For your death, oppressed souls gained life
Whose deaths were in your remaining alive

23. So rise with the disgrace of religion and world that
Your hands have presented the Muslims

24. This is the reward of betrayal - not lack of guidance -
My lord, by your striving in hypocrisy He rewarded you

25. O Master whom victory aided, who guarded orthodoxy
And subjugated polytheism, humbling it

26. The Merciful only distances a glowing ember
That strayed, its torch being your guidance

27. Wretched is he who opposed you - nay, disgraced is he who
Defied you - nay, shamed is he who was hostile to you

28. So accomplish your purpose, for the goals of desire
For the Muslims are for you to attain your wishes

29. Until you see the blessed foal raising
The flag of sovereignty, following your ways

30. And He shows you in the cub of virtues, guidance
And righteousness the best of what you saw in your father
