God is with you in what you choose and decree

لك الله فيما تنتحيه وما تقضي

1. God is with you in what you choose and decree
You who lent most generously when others would not

١. لَكَ اللهُ فِيمَا تَنْتَحِيهِ وَمَا تَقْضِي
فَأَنْتَ الَّذِي أَقْرَضْتَهُ أَحْسَنَ الْقَرْضِ

2. You who revived the law of His religion
Though most of its rules were neglected and lost

٢. وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي أَحْيَيْتَ شِرْعَةَ دِينِهِ
وَقَدْ رُفِضَتْ أَحْكَمُهَا أَيَّمَا رَفْضِ

3. Without you, no meadows would fill with rain
No boughs would blossom with tender new leaves

٣. وَلَوْلاَكَ لَمْ تَنْهَلَّ بِالغَيْثِ ديمَةٌ
وَلَمْ تَرْفُلِ الأَغْصَانُ فِي الْوَرَقِ الْغَضِّ

4. No heart would find peace within a warm chest
No eyelid would know the sweetness of rest

٤. وَلاَ قَرَّ قَلْبٌ فِي قَرَارِ ضُلُوعِهِ
وَلَمْ تَعْرِفِ الأَجْفَانُ مَا لذَّةُ الغَمْضِ

5. And when enemies persisted in their defiance
You rose at God's command to bring them to heel

٥. وَلَمَّا أَبَى الأَعدَاءُ إِلاَّ لَجَاجَةً
نَهَضْتَ بِأَمْرِ اللهِ أَحْسَنَ مَا نَهْضِ

6. Upholding your sacred obligation to smite them
Relentlessly summoning others to join in the fight

٦. مُقِيماً بِمَا اسْتَرعَاكَ فَرْضَ جِهَادِهِمْ
وَلَمْ تَأَلُ فِي نَدْبِ إِلَيْهِ وَفِي حَضِّ

7. You readied steeds from the noblest breed
Their bridles ring true with no jangle or clink

٧. وَأَعْدَدْتَ مِنْ غُرِّ الْجِيَادِ صَوَافِنا
مُطَهَّمَةً مِنْ كُلِّ أَجْرَد منقَضِّ

8. The blankets upon them gleam bright, freshly woven
As lightning illuminates the gloom before night

٨. يَشِفُّ حِجَابُ النَّقْعِ عَنْ قَسَمَاتِهَا
كَمَا شَفَّ جَهْمُ السُّحْبِ عَنْ بَارِقِ الوَمْضِ

9. Rome's empire was shattered at their first charge
The wind itself racing behind them to push

٩. وَمَا رَاعَ مَلْكَ الرُّومِ إِلاَّ طُلُوعُهَا
سَوَابِحَ تُزْجِيَها رِيَاحٌ مِنَ الرَّكْضِ

10. Victory's tongue cried out in their battlefields
Thus did We empower Joseph in the land

١٠. وَنَادىَ لِسَانُ الفَتْحِ فِي عَرَصَاتِهِمْ
كَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الأَرْضِ
