اِبْنُ غَازِي غَزَا فُنُونَ الشَّطَارَهْ

اِبْنُ غَازِي غَزَا فُنُونَ الشَّطَارَهْ

مُضْرِماً فيِ حُصُونِهَا الشُّمِّ نَارَهْ

مُضْرِماً فيِ حُصُونِهَا الشُّمِّ نَارَهْ

Ibn Ghazi assailed the arts of cunning,

The son of Ghazi attacked the domains of wit

Ibn Ghazi has raided the arts of cunning,

kindling his fire within their lofty strongholds.

Kindling in its citadels the fires of his determination

igniting his fire within its towering fortresses;

وَالرَّئِيسُ النَّفِيسُ أَيَّدَهُ اللَّ

وَالرَّئِيسُ النَّفِيسُ أَيَّدَهُ اللَّ

هُ تَصَدَّى لِلَيْلِهِ فَأَنَارَهْ

هُ تَصَدَّى لِلَيْلِهِ فَأَنَارَهْ

And the esteemed chief—may God aid him—

And the eminent president supported him

And the noble chief—may God grant him

confronted his night and illuminated it.

He confronted its night, thus illuminating it

support—confronted his night and brought it light.

كَيْفَ تَرْجُو مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَاكَ عِثَارَهْ

كَيْفَ تَرْجُو مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَاكَ عِثَارَهْ

مَا أَرَى أَنْ تَفُلَّ بَعْدُ غِرَارَهْ

مَا أَرَى أَنْ تَفُلَّ بَعْدُ غِرَارَهْ

How can you hope for his downfall after that?

How can you expect after that his downfall

How can you hope, after that, for him to stumble?

I do not think you can blunt his edge hereafter.

I don't foresee his youthful vigor ever fading

I do not see how you could ever dull his blade.
