1. جَرى لَكَ مِن هارونَ بِالسَعدِ طائِرُه

    إِمامُ اعتِزامٍ لاتُخافُ بَوادِرُه

    Harun's bird of omen has flown to you bearing good fortune.

    A leader of firm resolve, whose outbursts are not feared.

  2. إِمامٌ لَهُ رَأيٌ حَميدٌ وَرَحمَةٌ

    مَوارِدُهُ مَحمودَةٌ وَمَصادِرُه

    A leader with praiseworthy judgment and mercy;

    his comings and his goings are praiseworthy.

  3. هُوَ المَلِكُ المَجبولُ نَفساً عَلى التُقى

    مُسَلَّمَةٌ مِن كُلِّ سوءٍ عَساكِرُه

    He is the king whose soul is molded in piety;

    his armies are kept safe from every harm.

  4. لِتُغمَد سُيوفُ الحَربِ فَاللَهُ وَحدَهُ

    وَلِيُّ أَميرِ المُؤمِنينَ وَناصِرُه

    Let the swords of war be sheathed, for God alone

    is the guardian of the Commander of the Faithful and his champion.

  5. وَهارونُ ماءُ المُزنِ يُشفى بِهِ الصَدى

    إِذا ما الصَدِي بِالرِيقِ غَصَّت حَناجِرُه

    And Harun is raincloud water, with which thirst is quenched,

    when the throats of the thirsty choke on saliva.

  6. وَأَوسَطُ بَيتٍ في قُرَيشٍ لَبَيتُهُ

    وَأَوَّلُ عِزٍّ في قُرَيشٍ وَآخِرُه

    And his house is surely the noblest house in Quraysh,

    and the first glory in Quraysh, and its last.

  7. وَزَحفٍ لَهُ تَحكي البُروقَ سُيوفُهُ

    وَتَحكي الرُعودَ القاصِفاتِ حَوافِرُه

    And many a host of his has swords that mimic lightning,

    and hooves that mimic crashing thunder.

  8. إِذا حَمِيَت شَمسُ النَهارِ تَضاحَكَت

    إِلى الشَمسِ فيهِ بَيضُهُ وَمَغافِرُه

    When the day's sun grows hot, laughing back

    at the sun are its helmets and mail coifs within the host.

  9. إِذا نُكِبَ الإِسلامُ يَوماً بِنَكبَةٍ

    فَهارونُ مِن بَينِ البَرِيَّةِ ثائِرُه

    If Islam is struck one day by calamity,

    then Harun, among all creation, is its avenger.

  10. وَمَن ذا يَفوتُ المَوتَ وَالمَوتُ مُدرِكٌ

    كَذا لَم يَفُت هارونَ ضِدٌّ يُنافِرُه

    And who can elude death, when death catches up?

    So too no adversary who opposes him has escaped Harun.
