1. God gave you victory over your enemies
Leaving them neither fang nor claw

2. You overwhelmed them with favors until when
Their necks were too weak to bear them, you overwhelmed them with severing

3. They came to you under cover of darkness but when dawn broke
The white fingers showed they were not to be praised for their night visit

4. They came in ranks of battering rams but you took revenge and
Your generosity would not have diminished had they come as guests

5. You made them fragments when they refused
To ask with the tongue of obedience for mercy

6. Whoever left no nook unsearched
Tell him he will encounter a male serpent

7. Abu Harb strives in an impenetrable formation
Even if the father of a thousand spears charged he would be overwhelmed

8. And regards his hopes as trivial
Until he tries for the fertile horizon when he is infertile

9. Until Abu Al-Fayyad confronted him with two knives
Like a young camel that had touched no stump at its extremities

10. He did not cease to roar like a stallion in musth
Until you spilled his blood copiously with your two swords

11. Damn him, may he be miserable, he obtained the pigeons but
Swiftly he came to collect them

12. He picked and when he saw the conquest at its limit
He turned and offered you his head seeking pardon

13. So may the conquest refresh you, its sides
Almost picking flowers from its midst

14. You were safe when you held fast to Islam
While he failed when he came as a Christian victor

15. Verily he who denies the Lord's bounty
And claims he is more deserving is like an infidel
