1. بُشرى الممالكِ فتحُ قلعةِ منبجٍ

    فلْيَهْنِ هذا النصرَ كلُّ متوَّجِ

    Glad tidings for the kingdoms: the conquest of Manbij's fortress!

    So let every crowned ruler hail this victory.

  2. أُعطيتَ هذا الفتح مفتاحاً به

    في الملك يَفتحُ كلَّ بابٍ مُرتج

    You were given this conquest as a key, by which

    every bolted gate of dominion is opened.

  3. وافى يبشِّرُ بالفتوح وراءَهُ

    فانهضْ إليها بالجيوشِ وعرِّجِ

    It has come, heralding conquests in its wake;

    so march toward them with the armies, and bend your course.

  4. أبشرْ فبيت القدس يتلو منبجاً

    ولَمنبجٌ لسواهُ كالأنموذجِ

    Rejoice, for Jerusalem will follow Manbij;

    and indeed Manbij is a model for the rest.

  5. ما أَعجزتكَ الشُّهب في أبراجها

    طلباً فكيفَ خوارجٌ في أَبرُجِ

    The bright stars in their celestial towers could not thwart you

    in your pursuit; how, then, could rebels in towers?

  6. ولَقَدرُ مَنْ يعصيكَ أَحقرُ أَن يرى

    أَثرَ العبوس بوجهكَ المتبلِّجِ

    And whoever defies you is surely of too little worth to see

    a trace of a frown upon your radiant face.

  7. لكنْ تُهذِّبُ مَنْ عصاكَ سياسةً

    في ضمنها تقويمُ كلِّ مُعوَّجِ

    Yet you discipline whoever has disobeyed you through statecraft,

    which includes setting right all that is crooked.

  8. فانهدْ إلى البيتِ المقدَّسِ غازياً

    وعلى طرابلسٍ ونابلسٍ عُجِ

    So advance upon the Holy House, waging war,

    and turn aside to Tripoli and Nablus.

  9. قد سرتَ في الإسلام أَحسنَ سيرة

    مأْثورةٍ وسلكتَ أَوضحَ منهجِ

    You have followed in Islam the finest course

    handed down, and have trodden the clearest path.

  10. وجميع ما استقريتَ مِن سُنَن الهُدى

    جَدَّدْتَ منه كلَّ رسمٍ مُبهجِ

    And all the ways of guidance you have sought out—

    you have renewed every gladdening trace of them.
