1. عتَبتُم عَلى بيضِ السُيوفِ وَأَصبَحَت

    رِقابُ عِداكُم بِالعَزائِمِ تُضرَبُ

    You reproached the gleaming swords, and now

    Your enemies’ necks are struck by firm resolve.

  2. عَرَفتَ وَلائي في أَبيكَ وَإِنَّهُ

    مِنَ النَسَبِ الزاكي أَحَقُّ وَأَقرَبُ

    You have known my loyalty to your father, and indeed it

    Has a stronger claim and is closer than noble kinship.
