أَقولُ ومَوْلانا المُبارِزُ ناصرِى

أَقولُ ومَوْلانا المُبارِزُ ناصرِى

أَلا يا صُروفَ الدَّهْرِ هَلْ من مُبارزِ

أَلا يا صُروفَ الدَّهْرِ هَلْ من مُبارزِ

I say, with our lord al-Mubariz as my supporter:

I say, and our master the challenger is my supporter

Listen, O vicissitudes of time—is there any challenger?

Oh changes of fate, is there anyone who dares to challenge?
