1. لقَد حُصِّلتِ يا رُندَهْ

    فَصِرتِ لِمُلكِنا عِقدَهْ

    You have indeed been won, O Ronda;

    so you have become our kingdom's necklace.

  2. أَفادَتناكِ أَرماحٌ

    وَأسيافٌ لَها حِدَّهْ

    Spears have won you for us,

    and swords with keen edges,

  3. وَأَجنادٌ أَشِدَّاءٌ

    إِلَيهِم تَنتَهي الشِدَّهْ

    and mighty troops,

    in whom strength reaches its utmost.

  4. غَدَوتُ يرَونني مَولى

    لَهُم وَأَراهُمُ عدَّهْ

    Now they regard me as a lord

    of theirs, while I regard them as a mainstay.

  5. سأفني مُدَّةَ الأَعدا

    ءِ إِن طالَت بيَ المُدَّهْ

    I shall end the enemies' span of days,

    if my own span is prolonged.

  6. وَتَبلى بي ضَلالَتُهُم

    لِيَزدادَ الهُدى جِدَّهْ

    And through me their error shall wear away,

    so that right guidance may grow ever fresher.

  7. فَكَم مِن عُدَّةٍ قَتَل

    تُ مِنهُم بَعدَها عُدَّهْ

    For many a host have I slain

    among them—then another host after it!

  8. نَظَمتُ رُؤُوسَهُم عِقداً

    فَحَلَّت لَبَّةَ السُدَّهْ

    I strung their heads into a necklace,

    and so they adorned the gateway's throat.
