1. أَرى الرايِةَ الصَفراءَ يَريم اِصطِفاقُها

    بَني أَصفَرٍ بِالرَعفاتِ اللَهاذِمِ

    I see the yellow banner, its fluttering targeting

    the sons of Asfar with blood-drawing, razor-sharp spears;

  2. فَتَسبي فِلَسطيناً وَتَجبي جَزائِراً

    وَتَملِكُ مِن يونانَ أَرضَ الأَساحِمِ

    then it takes Palestine captive and exacts tribute from islands,

    and takes from Greece the land of al-Asahim;

  3. وَتَعنو لَها الأَملاكُ شَرقاً وَمَغرِباً

    بِذا حَكَمَت حُذاقُ أَهلِ المَلاحِمِ

    and kings bow to it, east and west.

    Thus have the masters of battle prophecy pronounced.
