يودُّ القنا الخطيُّ صحَّتْ كُعوبه

يودُّ القنا الخطيُّ صحَّتْ كُعوبه

وطالتْ أعاليهِ وسُنَّتْ لَهاذِمُهْ

وطالتْ أعاليهِ وسُنَّتْ لَهاذِمُهْ

The Khattī lance covets—its joints sound,

The spears of Khatt yearn—their joints sound,

its upper shafts tall, its spearheads honed—

their upper shafts long and their spearheads sharpened—

مضاءَ يمينِ الدينِ في مأثُراتهِ

مضاءَ يمينِ الدينِ في مأثُراتهِ

إذا ما استمرَّتْ نحْوَهُنَّ عزائمهْ

إذا ما استمرَّتْ نحْوَهُنَّ عزائمهْ

the piercing force of the Right Hand of the Faith in his glorious deeds,

for Yamin al-Din’s keenness in his glorious deeds,

whenever his resolves drive straight toward them.

whenever his resolves press onward toward them.

فتىً فضل الطوْد المُنيف رزانةً

فتىً فضل الطوْد المُنيف رزانةً

كما فضلتْ غُرَّ الغمامِ مكارمُهْ

كما فضلتْ غُرَّ الغمامِ مكارمُهْ

A young hero who surpasses the towering mountain in steadfast poise,

A young man who surpassed the lofty mountain in steadiness,

just as his acts of bounty surpass the radiant rain clouds.

as his generous deeds surpassed the bright clouds.
